Congrats, I also passed the exam last week.

Congratulations. I agree, if I am a cook for 10 years and they asked me about the ingridients and preparation of the dishes I have been preparing for 10 years, I think I shouldn't be nervous and I should get the correct answer 75 percent of the time (which will be a passing grade).

Congrats to him and you. And may he ALWAYS keep the dirty side down!

My son turned 18 today and passed the tests to receive his commercial pilot's license. This is the first day that he was legally allowed to do so. He had a goal for the last three birthdays to solo, get his private and instrument rating and his commercial and managed to do them all. That's a lot of student loans that he won't have to pay for in college. He is applying now to fly skydivers, which is much better than crop dusting. I want him to have a lot more flight time before he does that, if ever. Bonnie

When I signed up for the exam, I decided I wanted to see if I had enough tax knowledge to pass without studying. After all, what have I been doing for the past 14+ years? If I didn't have enough knowledge to pass a "basic" tax exam, maybe I needed to rethink my career! I can't say I didn't study at all, I did a quick review of Circ 230. After a very restless night, I went into the exam running on fumes and forgot to take some 5 hour energy before starting the exam! ???? I found the test to be pretty straightforward with just a few ambiguous questions. The reference tools were clunky to use. I received my passing result as I left the testing center. I wish I knew the actual score. Did I barely squeak by? Or did I pass with flying colors? Was I average? Do I need more study on a certain topic? We will never know.... How can we improve upon our weaknesses if we don't know what our weaknesses might be? Btw, I love to take quizzes and tests, and I am a good test taker. If you tend to have test taking anxiety problems, you may want to study to help boost your confidence! Side note to RitaB: you can do it, no problem! ????????

Keep those teens working and paying their own way! Congratulations!

Congratulations to both!! (And Rita, you CAN do it!!)

Great accomplishment for a young man!

Congrats!

UP AND AWAY......................................................................................

Thanks Mike. Time will tell. Not to come off sounding flip but I dont really see the "U.S. Army experience" as relevant to the position of "Technical / Tax Support Director". I get the feeling that they hired a warm body with no experience and needed something to say about this person. Thats like saying we hired a Director of Marketing who has a lifetime of experience with shopping.
