pretty much what the title says... I took FAR for the first time on 5/30 and failed with a 72. I retook it on 6/29 and am currently waiting to get my result on 7/9. if all goes according to plan, (really praying it does because that shit has been a huge struggle) and I pass this time, is it recommend that I study for AUD next? or REG followed by TCP and leave AUD for last? I've read from numerous posts that AUD seems to be another beast of its own, so I'm debating whether I should get it over with or leave it/deal with the other exams

i took my first cpa exam on may 30th and failed with a 72. i cried for a while about it because i truly feel like i got punched in the face. i studied around 200 hours to end up failing. i rescheduled my exam for june 29th because i don’t want to wait long and i stopped studying between may 30th-june 15th, so i don’t want to forget anything. i just can’t stop worrying about failing it again. i’m sorry if this post sounds dramatic, i genuinely just feel so low.

i tried to study today, the sims dragged my score down on the actual exam, so i did some mcqs and sims and i got so exhausted after an hour. i feel helpless and miserable and i know its a huge blessing to have this kind of opportunity but its taking a toll on me. idk how i’m supposed to do 3 more after this. why in the fuck is there 4 exams. i’m on and off emotional, feeling drained, all of it.

pls do tell thank u

i felt really great about the multiple choice, and the first 2 sims i’m estimating at least an 80 on. was feeling confident, took my break, then the last 5 sims kinda shot me down. insanely lengthy and dense in topics i wasn’t confident in. i made sure not to leave anything blank except the things the test tells you to, but i really feel like i failed.

i used Becker and felt like it didn’t prepare me well enough for those kinds of sims at all. has anyone had a similar experience/any thoughts?

I did better on the tbs' compared to mcq's which I was very surprised by. I'm planning to take the second SE in 1-2 days and hopefully get a higher score, I test May the 30th. please feel free to share anything that helped you in the final week/week and a half of studying
