^good luck on your last one 👍🏻

Failure is not that you failed an exam, failure is that lost hope and stopped studying for good. If it was really easy then everyone would be a CPA and it will hold no value. Keep trying and think positive

like

The exam is adaptive, meaning it gets harder if you're getting a lot of answers correct, it adapts and give your harder questions in the following sections. Every exam that I thought I failed, I ended up getting my highest scores. Don't worry, everything might be Ok.

I was convinced I failed on all of the last three I took and passed. Don't worry just yet! Have one more left to go!

First testlet - great. Second and third - had to go back to 50% if the questions cause I wasn't sure if I had the right answer. Sims - totally screwed. Started to run out of time so had to guess, majority was based on calculations, not select the answer, and topics were obscure. As much as I would like to be surprised, I highly doubt it. I studied a lot for it too 😢I felt really good taking the Becker final exams but this felt wayyy worse.

Becker overprepares you. As long as you didn't leave anything blank on the sims, you could get lucky

You guys would do fine. When I took the Reg last year I felt bad but end up getting 87. The test questions could be the ones where you felt bad and start thinking that you failed it. Good luck to all of you who are expecting result tonight. ✌🏽

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
