In December 2015, I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Accounting, International Business, and Business Administration, totaling 139 credits. It took me two years after graduation to gather the resources for CPA exams and a review course. When I finally attempted the exams, I realized how much I'd forgotten and failed the REG exam twice.
After losing my job, I attempted to study full-time but faced challenges due to financial constraints and time limits on exam attempts. Despite feeling like a failure, I persisted, even after facing criticism and negativity from those around me.
The pandemic further complicated matters, but with support from my partner, I found success in passing four out of five exams (REG-78, FAR-76, AUD-75, BEC-68, & BEC-76) since March 2020. Now i'm completing my remaining 11 credits.
I am thankful for the encouragement and motivation from this online community and looking forward to see more and more CPAs emerge from this community! We can do it!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey! I earned my accounting degree a decade ago, and after completing additional credits, I've finally decided to dive back into studying. I must admit, I'm incredibly nervous; most days, I feel like I might not meet the mark. However, reading about your experience fills me with hope. Despite feeling overwhelmed, pursuing this has always been a dream of mine. Sadly, the people in my life tend to brush off my worries, reassuring me that everything will be okay. Your success is truly inspiring! Congratulations!
Wow, this is incredible! I've been studying for a whole year but haven't passed any tests yet, and Covid has made it even harder to take them. Your journey is really inspiring and it's awesome to see you succeed. Congrats on doing such a good job!
I cannot emphasize this point strongly enough - you are truly AMAZING. Personally, I've faced failure with FAR twice already, and I'm gearing up to tackle it again in February. Though we may not know each other, please know that I am immensely proud of you. Thank you for being such a source of inspiration!
Great job! I've never tried the CPA exam, but I've been looking into it recently. Your post gave me a lot of encouragement.
