Just an update, I took REG last Thursday.... I went in extremely confident because I invested a lot of quality hours into the prep for this exam. It was absolutely brutal though. I'll post again once I get my scores.

In canada I think CGA is equivalent to CPA, CGA is certified general accountant. I am trying to pursue that after I have completed my bachleor of commerce degree

Bump...I'm all scheduled for my rematch 2/27...not studying the way I want to....got a wife n 1 year old pluckin my nerves and work has been crazy as hell...oh well, it is what it is...

Thought I'd give you guys an update... So I failed the REG exam I took in December 2012. I kind of figured though. Those sims were no joke. Retook the exam at the end of January. Got my scores today and passed with an 85!!!!! 2 more to go... Scheduled BEC for 4/4/13... Study materials are definitely a lot easier than REG for sure. I know of someone who took it 5 times though so I won't fall into the trap of slacking on studying. I just want to get done with this !! for real

Thanks man and congrats...Wednesdays the day...i took off tomorrow so i'm going in. Gleim multiple choice questions all day long.. I got through all of the material this time (unlike last time) and i am paying more attention to the "lightly tested" areas (cuz that's all I was tested on last time). Not really investing much time in the sims (could be my downfall) as I plan to use the AL...I just want to get this one over so I can move on to Reg.

I really don't know... the test was tricky as hell...there was mad questions I have never seen before and I have been going hard on multiple choice questions this whole window...The AICPA doesn't play around

The 1st testlet was iffy, 2nd was a beast, 3rd was less wordy than 2 but still pretty tough...I had about an hour to do the sims, them !!s was all cray...I answered 3 of them straight from the Authoritative Literature...by the time I hit exit there was 3 minutes left...

I wouldn't be surprised if I have to go again, i hate audit and that is the reason that I chose to do it first...
