Are the questions supposed to be harder if you performed well? I feel so bad after taking the exam, b/c my questions are getting easier for both the last part of MC and Sim. And even got two research question for Sim. Did anyone feel the same way?

Sims don't change.

MCQs do. Per the AICPA, you don't need to get to the hard questions to pass.

If you thought your MCQs were easy and you were doing well on the MCQs that were easy, you could def still be fine.

It's totally possible to get 2 research questions; I did on REG.

REG-80, 77, 77
BEC-67, 68, 71, 67, 71, 74, 71, 74, 72, 77
FAR- 72, 65,67, 53, 75 (truth be known the 53 was with 4 hours of studying)
AUD-58, 62, 72, 74, 74, 75
took 5 years but I'm DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You might just know your stuff too—the sims don't change so if those seemed easy you might just have it down, which could be the same story with your easy MC.

When I took FAR, I noticed that my testlets only got slightly more difficult. When I took AUD, the difficulty of my testlets stayed the same.

The MCQ testlets increase in difficulty if you do well on the previous one. However, whether a testlet is difficult or medium is based on the AICPA opinion, not yours. The only exam where I was certain that the questions got more difficult was FAR, but my performance report said I was stronger on MCQ for all 4 exams.

FAR 4/1/11 - 89
AUD 4/15/11 - 85
REG 4/29/11 - 80
BEC 5/13/11 - 85
