Has anyone ever felt in confident with their exam and then passed? I took it today, and while i know I aced some of the questions, i'm unsure about others:(

abc123: I swore I failed Reg and got a 92. I ran out of time and couldn't finish the simulations. I did however go right to the communications on each sim. I got an 82 on FAR and also swore I failed. I was telling everyone %$# this exam, I'm done with it. I think it's really hard to judge. I used Yaeger so I did get a good feel for the questions. I only studied about half the recommended time, but the materials are really good. Hang in there. I have Audit tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll feel just like you do now.

@wscomp… thank you! that is exactly what I needed to hear:) Goood luck:) :):)

I just took AUD and felt really good about the MCQ. I think I potentially could have missed 8 max for all 90 MCQ questions. I studied using strictly Becker passmaster, sims and final exam as well as the free CPA questions web site. No book or lectures. I didn't feel too confident on the sims however. If I got 70% of the sims correct and 89% on MCQ, do you think this is enough to pass???

[potatogun]

Yes, that would be enough to pass assuming if you're reading your performance correctly.

FAR 92 - AUD 91 - REG 94 - BEC 86

haha, okay maybe I got 50% of the sims/writing/research just to be conservative. Still enough? I hope and pray.

BTW, don't just memorize the ratios. Understanding what the ratios are used for. That's equally if not more important. 😉

[potatogun]

I mean we can try and guess however much we can and you can calculate it if you weighted the questions equally as a raw %.

.7(MC) + .2(sim) +.1(WC) = whatever we think would be the passing score? AUD scores for the passing score were higher than FAR passing scores on my score reports by about 10points in the various areas.

FAR 92 - AUD 91 - REG 94 - BEC 86

Thanks, potatogun. I'm being a freak and calculating every possible scenario. I just realized on one of the sims I have mistaken net worth for net income and answered about 7 questions wrong on the impact of various entries.

[abc123]

@crammer, yes you should be fine! When i took FAR last month I BOMBED my sims… and I knew i did great on teh multiple choice… I seriously left 90% of the sims blank, and then filled out the communication the best I could. Regardless, I ended up with over an 80 and passed:)

As for the ratios you guys are talking about, someone told me not to worry about ratios because if you get them you can look them up in the research section-lie. I had a whole sim in audit where I had to choose the explanation for like 10 ratios..and I tried looking them up in the research but they were no where to be found.

Sometimes they put formulas in the “resource” tab. Maybe that is what they meant.

Hey how did it go?

[moo]

I just took aud on the 31st and felt like it was really easy, too easy. And that makes me worry. Anyone else feel the same way? I ended up with a lot of time left over (1hr 20 min) I”m so used to wanting to rush from having just taken Far in July that I didnt pace myself slowly enough. Eeck! Nervous. I hope I didnt make careless errors.

FAR: 80(7/23), AUD: 81(8/31), REG: 84(11/12), BEC: 75(11/30),73

DONE!!

I thought I knew more than I didn't know. I don't want to jinx it because there seems to be an inverse relationship with how I feel when I leave Prometric and my scores. The second testlet was definitely harder.The simulations were like a cake walk compared to FAR. Maybe it was because I wasn't rushed. I used Becker and thought I was well-prepared; there were a few things that were not covered but not much. Doing the practice final exam the day before was a HUGE help.

I used the resource tab for part of my simulation. The written communications were not too bad but they were on topics that the research tab was no help. I had memorized several reports verbatim but of course got the obscure ones on my exam. Finger, toes, legs, hairs are all crossed until the score comes out.

[abc123]

me too! I had over an hour left over! I seriously spent soo much time researching my communication tab too so i know I had to get full points for those:)
