failed BEC by two points. This was the last straw for me and I’ve decided this journey isn’t worth it anymore. I have given years worth of time, and thousands of dollars in testing fees, and multiple panic attacks at this point, and it just isn’t worth it. Good luck to all those continuing the journey! May it be easier for all of you! And congrats to all who got passing scores today, you’re doing great!

So sorry for you.
Can you share more of your journey and experience? What are your plans for the future?

I do feel like I should clarify though, I have never fully completed a study course for any section that I have taken. I don’t want to discourage anyone who is dedicated.

I took audit without studying. I have only ever studied a maximum of half of the course for any FAR or REG section I took, and for BEC I did 60% of the final review book and that’s it. I understand that it doesn’t seem like I’ve been fully committed, but there’s much more to the story and I just cannot study. My brain just won’t do it, so that’s why I think it’s time to stop trying at this point, I don’t think I will ever be able to dedicate enough time and focus to this exam, especially when they keep making the hoops even harder to jump through.
