I've taken all the exams twice and only passed BEC... got a 71 on REG and 66 on FAR. I really feel like giving up. What are some tips to stay motivated?

<insert wise sentiment here>.... In all seriousness ask yourself why you want to pass. Why did you start in the first place. Sometimes it's better to reflect on why you began the journey in the first place when you are in the thick of it to re center yourself and move forward.

Sometimes it takes more than one try to pass the exams. I end up taking Audit 4 times and now done with CPA and it is the best feeling in the world. I would say focus on one exam at a time. Your score shows you need little more time to get 75 so don’t lose hope and keep trying.good luck

The trick is to just continue taking them until you pass. I’ve passed only one so far but I passed FAR after I took it the third time. It’s rough but we will get it done. Just keep plugging

After working a bit I completely lost the discipline to study and really didn’t remember how much I had to master the materials for my classes. Just remember that the exams are doable, people pass them all the time, and think of what you used to do in undergrad and try to do more than that.
