I recently took the ISC CPA exam and wanted to get some opinions from people who’ve already received their scores.

I used Becker for my preparation and was marked “Exam Day Ready.” except for SE2. I had also memorized probably around 85% of the Becker MCQs by the end of my prep.

Here’s how my prep/exam went:

• SE1 score: 76 (taken one day before the actual exam)
• Didn’t take SE2
• Watched all Becker lectures 2–3 times
• Read the textbook once
• Mainly revised using summary notes + MCQs

On the actual exam:

• MCQs felt harder than Becker overall
• TBSs felt easier than Becker
• I spent around 2 hours 10 minutes on MCQs
• On the last TBS, I think I guessed the last 3–4 subparts of the last TBS due to time pressure

For people who’ve taken ISC recently:

• What kind of Becker bump did you see for ISC?
• Based on this, what score range do you think I’m realistically looking at?
• Did anyone else feel the real MCQs were harder but SIMs easier?
