Just got back from my exam.
-Felt like I killed it on the first MCQ testlet. Testlet 2 seemed way too easy, which was pretty scary. Most questions were 1 sentence, or not much longer. It actually made it harder to focus, bc I was so worried that I didn't do well on the first Testlet. Overall though, it felt like I nailed the MCQ and that they were mostly simple and straightforward. So I'm actually very worried, ha. I was really hoping for long and difficult questions on Testlet 2 as confirmation I did well on Testlet 1, and I didn't get that.
– Sims overall I thought were really tough. Some were reasonable. Some volume-wise (# of choices to consider, # of questions to answer) were very demanding, and also tricky. Used every minute, didn't hit submit on the final Testlet until 5 secs left on the timer. This actually freaked me out, bc the timer hit zero as it was still uploading, but the Prometric staff assured me that even if I didn't hit submit, my answers would have gone through as time ended.
-I did about 40 Ninja Sims in the 3 days leading up to the exam, as well as the AICPA Practice Sims. I highly recommend you do those to get a taste. I felt confident going in, but damn, if you get a bad batch, it can make things difficult. Be ready for anything. In retrospect, I wish I'd done every single Ninja Sim, as well as gotten Ninja MCQ way earlier in my process (didn't get them until a week before the exam).
– Some Sims…how should I say this….really should have been in a different test. Even if they were on that different test, they would've been tricky.
– It's going to be a long 3 months waiting for this damn score. I feel like I could've gotten anywhere between a 50 and a 90. Good luck to everyone. Just do your best on every question, every day. On to Reg for me.
