I took the AUD exam Friday and my testlets were 1) standard 2) possibly harder 3) hard. However, I didn't mark but maybe 15 questions out of all of them which is a lot less than I normally mark. I had a couple of repeat questions within the same testlet (someone else mentioned they had this too) which wasn't bad since I knew the answers. I also had a couple that were blatantly easy or I just didn't read the question correctly. I would say I knew the answer to 80% of them, there were about 15% that I was torn between 2 answers, and 5% where I had absolutely no clue and took a guess.
As for my simulations, they weren't bad overall. The communications were pretty easy, as were the research tabs. I thought a couple of things were pretty dirty though. Some of it was very detailed and I had not encountered these types of simulations within my Bisk study materials. Although not necessarily HARD, I just felt like I was hammered on details that were somewhat insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
I finished with an hour left to spare and I generally feel good about this one . I hope I passed, because I'll only have FAR left to take in July and then I'll hopefully be finished. I'd love to hear about everyone else's experience with AUD the past few days…hopefully we won't have to wait too long for our scores!
