Just got my latest score on the CPA exam. I passed Financial Accounting and reporting with an 84. Holy cow was I sweating bullets. That was the second time through this year and it didn't look good. I didn't finish the last simulation because I was stuck on stupid over a problem I should have gotten completed in seconds instead the 15 minutes or so I took. I'm sure I got it right but wow the wasted time.
That's 3 down and 1 to go. I'm waiting on the results of my last test. Good lord this has been a long hard row to hoe. Trust me, be a doctor, lawyer, or rocket scientist. This stuff is not easy!
I'd brag and be arrogant (arrogant has never ever worked for me btw) but jeeze, 20 hour study days, immense amounts of stress, headaches, backaches, neck pain. I'm worn out. I started studying in February of 2009 while many pass after 6 months of studying. I don't quite believe it but hey if fresh out of school I can see it. Guys like me who have been out of school for 20 years have to put some extra effort in it.
