After enduring a nerve-wracking wait, I received my score from the MD exam this afternoon, and to my relief, I discovered that I had passed the fourth and final section, REG! Scoring a 79 came as a pleasant surprise; I had anticipated a lower score around 72. Despite having some tax experience, navigating this section was challenging due to encountering unfamiliar concepts not typically encountered in real-world scenarios. Certain simulations and multiple-choice questions proved particularly tricky, and my performance in BLAW wasn't as strong as I had hoped.

My CPA exam journey began in 2016, but it wasn't until 2019 that I started making significant progress. However, a setback occurred in June 2021 when I lost all parts after failing to pass FAR within the required timeframe. Determined not to be deterred, I recommitted myself to the process and diligently worked my way back up.

There were moments when I seriously contemplated throwing in the towel, questioning whether it was time to abandon the pursuit altogether. However, I realized that walking away would likely mean never returning to it. Today marks one of my proudest achievements. At one point, I doubted I would ever succeed, but this experience taught me the importance of perseverance. So, to anyone facing similar challenges, remember: never give up and keep pushing forward.
