After studying for 4 years, taking 18 exams, and spending $6,000, I've finally finished all these tests!

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!

This is really amazing! I’ve been working hard and studying for a year, but I haven’t been able to pass any exams yet. Covid also made it harder for me to take the tests, which has been frustrating. That’s why hearing about your journey gives me a big boost of motivation. Congratulations on all your hard work and success!

Congratulations! I also finished my exams during the COVID period, and honestly, that was the silver lining for me. It gave me extra time, and I’m glad you were able to use that time in a positive way too.
