47 means you didn’t study..

47 still feels better than 74.

True that
Practice questions EVERYDAY!
Go through the materials (videos, reading, etc.) and then give yourself 2-3 weeks to review in which you do practice questions + simulations every day.
Becker process
Dedicate 3-4 hours a day 5x a week to just grinding through questions.
I would go to a coffee shop on a fri/sat night and just study hard from like 8 to midnight instead of going out.
I studied from 5:30 - 8:30am most weekdays, then studied a minimum of 10 hours on Saturdays and Sundays

I’m currently studying REG as we speak. To give you perspective.. I studied 9 hrs Saturday, 6 hrs last night and 7 hrs so far today (off today). It takes dedication and sacrifice to pass these. If you put in these hours, you’ll pass the retake. We work crazy hours on a lot of boring/repetitive work papers some times. Thus I know you should be able to push through this material.
Make sure you reward yourself after you put the pen down. Whatever it is you want to do, tell yourself you’ll do it after you study X hours.
Lastly, don’t waste your time again. Study until you feel somewhat ready.
Had a friend describe FAR as being a mile wide and an inch deep. You really just have to power through as much questions and simulations as possible. When you do MC questions try to see if you can explain why the other options are wrong. If you can do this you may get the perfect score of 75 like me! Lol
You grind through it.
Lol I got a 42 on FAR and a 29 on REG first time I took them. I’m also a CPA now and passed both exams next time I took them . Honestly my hot take is that a low score (if you actually studied mind you) is you just got tricked on every question but you probably do know the material just need to fortify the concepts. Vs someone who gets a 72 or something along those lines just skipped a chapter. That’s why you hear those stories of those getting close each time but never passing because they never study it.
It may sound counterintuitive and you may not believe me but I have a CPA now and passed with low 80s next time I took it for both exams.
Tl:dr - A low score, if you studied shows more breadth in knowledge versus a close score IMO. Always better to bomb hard than score close.
One last thing to the above, on learning styles. I think a lot of the advice for the CPA exam is you have to absorb tons of info and forget it after. If you’re anything like me that advice doesn’t work. I had to actually learn the concepts versus brain barf.
