1st testlet questions were easy, flagged few.
2nd teslet questions were from planet Mars, flagged 11.
3rd testlet question from another universe, flagged 13

Sims:
1st question was easy
2nd question was fair, but a little tricky
3 question was hard but manageable
4 wth is this, seriously.
5 I have no clue
6 took wild guesses
7 research problem was easy

3 of sim questions were based ratios. Honestly, Becker did not prepare me enough on ratios. If I could go back in time, I would definitely spend more time on ratios and government audit. Hoping for a 75!

Do you think Becker prepared you for the MCQs?

[mooseonloose]

Yes, Becker did prepare me well for the MC. There were probably 2-3 questions that I have never came across in Becker.

Hey moose, did you get a DRS? How did you do with the assertions and transaction cycle stuff?

I guessed on every single SIM questions aside from the research question and scored a 87. I wouldn't worry too much. I used Becker too. I don't think there's anything Becker could've done to prepare me for the actual SIM. I believe unless you have all the time in the world to understand each concept thoroughly, there are things you will miss regardless of study material used. The practice SIMs enchanced my understanding and gave me that extra boost for the mc but nothing couldve prepared me for the actual.

@Need surprisingly I didn't get any DRS. However, after seeing the ratio, I wouldn't have minded DRS. I studied sampling and transaction cycles so much, but ended up getting nada. Btw good luck on your exam, I'll be seeing you in the score release thread.

Goingallin thanks! you just gave me hope. I don't think anything would have prepared me enough for those sims. They were just so weird.

sounds like my experience to the I and T. took on FEB 1 found out I failed with 69 on Feb 23ish.

Best of luck

[mooseonloose]

and there goes my hope. LOL

My experience was similar – maybe not quite as bad. I felt good in testlet 1 then it went downhill from there. One of the SIMS I totally bombed, complete guesses. Research was easy and the others were “meh” (for lack of a better term).

I am hoping that I pass, it's my last one and I don't want to think about dealing with the new format/score releases

FAR - 75 (5/23/16)
AUD - July 2016
BEC - Aug 2016
REG - Nov 2016

@moose were the ratios generic or tough. I have not done ratios at all in audit. Did them in FAR and BEC . Guess have to go look at them again

[mooseonloose]

@slynn You think you did better than last time? Did your testlets get harder. My first testlet was much easier than 2nd and 3rd. I finished tesltlet 1 in 30 minutes, testlet 2 and 3 in 50 minutes after making couple of wild guesses.

@Motiani they were really tough. You won't need to memorize any formulas.

Took Audit today.

No idea how I did, first half of the first testlet was super easy then some more difficult questions were thrown in there that I wasn't sure on. Hard to tell difficulty of last two testlets.

Felt much more confident about the first testlet for FAR and BEC though.

Sims were similar to FAR for me. A few topics I knew decently well and a few I didn't. DRS wasn't terrible. Research question actually took me a while for this exam though so hopefully I got that right.

[mooseonloose]

3/21 I will be expecting all of us to pass.
