I knew that, according to the score release schedule, my score would be released sometime between today and Monday. Originally, I was contemplating not looking to see whether or not I passed this test until after my next one that I'm taking next Friday, but when it came down to it, I had to know...
I knew that today was going to be the day when I saw on Facebook this morning that the site, Another71.com, has posted "The 'powers that be' are officially saying Monday ... so all signs point to Friday for Score Release." I then proceeded to watch online all day as other CPA Exam test-takers announced when they got their scores. I took the Audit section this last test and by the end of the work day, I had concluded that pretty much all of the Audit test scores had been released. Therefore, I knew mine was most likely out there for me to see too. Although I had decided that I was going to look to see my score today, there was no way I was going to look at it while I was at work. I decided this based on my experience with this test the first go around. After seeing that I hadn't passed the first time, I couldn't help but cry. It was such a let down and I was so discouraged and sad that I had to go through that all again, and I didn't want to have to hold back my sadness all day at work if this didn't turn out well. Therefore, I waited...
I went all day knowing that today would be the day that I knew for sure whether or not I would have to retake this test. I was pretty nervous whenever I would think about it, but I didn't get REALLY nervous until it was time to go home. I almost didn't want to go home because I was fearing the worst...
After work, I went and grabbed something to eat for us for supper and then made my way home. After we sat down to eat, I got my laptop out and went to the NASBA site to check my score. At this point, I really felt like I was going to throw up because I was so nervous and worried. I put in my information but I couldn't push the button to allow my score to come up so Trent offered to do it for me. I handed the computer to him so he could do it but peeked around to see what it was. Then... he pushed the button and this is what we saw:
Now, that looks a lot like a 70 at the bottom of the screen, doesn't it??? Well, you need to get a 75 to pass. So when I saw that, my heart sank. I grabbed the computer from Trent so I could get a better look and really take it in because I was kind of in disbelief that this had happened AGAIN. So I scrolled down and saw this:
I yelled, "It's a 79! I passed!" What a relief!! I was still shaking afterwards while we continued to finish our supper and it really took a little while for it to sink in! I'm halfway done!! I can't wait to get this all over with and finally 'get my life back' as some would say. :)
I've got my next test this coming Friday and then we close on our house and get settled in a week and a half after that and then hopefully just one more to go in late July or early August! Bing bang boom, DONE! Right?! Let's just hope it's that easy!
yay!! Congrats on passing! You're so smart. :)
