As I play the waiting game with my FAR scores, I keep imagining myself staring at the NASBA website and seeing a number below 75. I imagine that my heart immediately skips a beat as I come to the realization that I will have to study for that darn part again. I don’t want to think about it anymore because it doesn’t make sense to worry about it right now. It’s amazing how long it takes for the scores to come out, but then again, time flies by so quickly. I ordered Becker in January but couldn’t actually schedule anything until April and now, before I know it, it will be January again.
The consequences of not passing can be greater than anticipated. I can’t imagine how people keep sitting through these parts time and again and the more that I immerse myself in learning about the exam, the more information I discover that could be very helpful. Recently, after discovering another71.com, I read the book that this website offers, “50 Things you must know about the CPA exam.” Thanks to a reach out from the author, I got the chance to review the book and found the tips on there pretty helpful.
He has taken many FAQs and has addressed them in his book, including information on some of the better strategies in taking each part or dealing with the most feared parts: FAR for me and seemingly most others as well. I think the book and the website address some good questions that the websites from NASBA or the AICPA fail to make user-friendly. Ultimately I felt less fearful about the exam knowing that so many other people have gone through and are going through the same things as me.

Thanks for the tip, Val. I’m going to bookmark that website for my inevitable encounter with the CPA exams (even if it’s in 2 years).
