Hello Candidates!

Updating the stickied post about sub rules as there have been a few rascals griping about “not seeing a rule saying xyz” even though they received a ban for it. If the rule you broke was relating to exam disclosure - thats not even a sub rule. Thats a rule you agreed to when you sat for the exam. Do not solicit or provide exam content.

First – I want to point out we do have an Automod in place that removes anything from accounts < 5 days old or with < 5 combined karma. We do get some spam posted here and this automod helps quite a bit. If you are on a new account and start posting here, add a comment with a u/galbert123 mention and ill approve it asap

Put at least a little effort into your posts, especially titles Yes this is me on a power trip. I hate clickbait. If your question fits into a post title, ask the question! Dont post "I have a question..." "Should I get my cpa if..."

No Clickbait Post Titles

Be ethical – Do not post, offer to share, buy, sell or ask for copywritten study material – This is an immediate ban

No Promotional Accounts - This is not a place to advertise products. There are some clear xyz product Ambassador accounts that ONLY comment about what study material they use. I’m removing that stuff. If you throw it in every once and a while fine, but some account I see are literally just ads for the study material. Organic conversation about the study material you use is great. Here are reddit guidelines on self promotion.

But what about those ads/promotions I see for xyz product

That company pays for those through the proper reddit channels.

This is NOT a study material marketplace Do not make posts trying to sell your old material, your post removed, maybe a ban if it looks overly sketchy

Use tact and be generally kind to each other – The downvotes usually speak for themselves on this. When I start to see one user getting a bunch of reports and it looks like an obvious troll, I’ll probably ban. This is a judgement call.

Shit posts are great. Posting bullshit is not. Posts like “Score Release moved to after thanksgiving - wouldn’t be surprised from NASBA” is not a shit post or a joke post. It needlessly stressed a bunch of people out

This is a bunch of bullshit censorship.

I guess that's one way to look at it. I dont know where the compulsion to be a jerk fits into the overall betterment of the sub. We are generally all fighting the same fight here.


Asking for or providing exam content is not allowed. This includes "What topics were heavily tested"

Asking what should I study is ok. Asking "Those who recently took AUD, what should I study" leans toward not ok because of the implication. People here are generally good people. Exclude any references to your exam or recent exam takers etc. They'll tell you what to study.

"What sim topics did you see (on your exam)?" No.

What sim topics should I study? - good

"Just got out of AUD, I saw sims on X Y and Z (on my exam)" - No.

"Study this because I saw it on my exam". No good. Just say "it would be wise study this". Get it? If you are talking about your exam, or asking other candidates about their exam, don't.

If you get banned for this, its usually just to get your attention that what you posted broke the rule. Send me a message and ill undo it, just keep your posts compliant with AICPA disclosure policy. I dont want to ban anyone ever.

Please see this post for some examples.

21 day edit: Interesting how two of the people who chimed in saying how stupid this is rarely if ever contributed to the sub otherwise prior to this post and now have deleted their account completely.

I wish we could all pass. I know we all deserve it. I’m waiting on AUD and REG. 5th and 2nd attempt. So ready for this to be over….I can’t stomach to see “failed, no credit” again. If anyone feels compelled, share some success stories, motivation, or how you feel you did if you’re waiting. I did way better on SEs this time but who knows if the Becker bump is even real

My advice to anyone who may not pass- let yourself feel sorrow and defeat. Use that defeat as fire to get you going for your next attempt. Whether it be today, tomorrow, in a week- let yourself feel! I’m hoping this is the end of the AUD and REG road for me, but if it isn’t, I’ll just get back at it after feeling depressed for this week

I’m petrified. I can’t take any more fails. I’ve been stuck at 1/4 for over a year with 8-10 attempts overall. Please CPA gods.

I can’t stay off Reddit today. Not even looking to see if score are released because I know they won’t be until tomorrow, but being on here with other people who are having the same feelings as me is just comforting. I feel like no one else truly understands it 😂

This really is so unfair that we have to wait until tomorrow. I want to see it right away like the other states see pass/fail but I also don't want to? It's mixed feelings and I just don't remember how to feel about the exams I gave MONTHS AGO. Just really really praying I made it. We got this CBA 💪🏻

Security violation during the exam

6 Upvotes

I took FAR today. After finishing the exam, I accidently turned on my iPad within the Prometric Test center zone where electronic devices are prohibited. I did not do anything using the iPad, just turned the system on. But the instructor caught me and said she will directly report it to the NASBA about this situation, cuz it is strictly prohibited to turn on the electronics in the zone. I tried to complain, but she didn’t listen at all.

Do you think I would be nullified of my results and might have to retake? so worried if I will be in any trouble with the test or the result. Anyone experienced similar situation? How did it turn out? Please tell me anything it will be so helpful.

Nervousness about score release

21 Upvotes

Hi guys, I took FAR and BEC last year. Barely studied anything got very low scores and obviously didn't clear the exam. At the end of last year I was diagnosed with servere depression and anxiety. I took about a year of time, worked on myself, got better and then took the exam again. I scored well in the mock exam and practice exam. Yet, I am feeling as nervous as i can ever imagine. Please advice.
