I took audit the other day.. Testlet one seemed really hard to me. Then the other two were easier. I know people say that it’s a good sign if a testlet gets harder, but there is no way to really gauge difficulty level on Audit. It’s totally subjective and depends on what you happen to remember. A really long/wordy question could be easy. But, a short question could be hard. It’s totally subjective for Audit at least. Comments?

My second two AUD testlets seemed a little easier than the first and I passed so don't drive yourself crazy worrying about your score based on your interpretation of hard.

When I sat for Audit I thought my first testlet was much more difficult than the following two. When I found the following two testlets ‘easier' I thought I must've bombed the first testlet and that I probably failed. Turns out I was wrong. If you have a balanced and thorough study plan I think its pretty difficult to really gauge the differences in difficulty. Some answers will pop out at you because they are so close to a question or topic you studied, and some answers will take a little more effort and will seem more difficult. Even a question testing a more ‘difficult' topic can come across easier if you spent a lot of time studying it or remember answering a similar question in your review. Good luck!

When i took AUD, the testlets, including the SIMs, were really easy. Never got harder. I walked out of there with over 2 hours left and thought to myself, either I conquered the test or I completely missed the point. So, I second everyone's comment of the subjectivity of this exam.
