Kris –
FAR was the first exam I've taken, I blew threw the multiple choice and feel like I did well on the written portion but really feel like I did awful on 4 of the 6 sims, I'm glad at least one doesn't count!
On AUD I did the first testlet in less than 20 minutes, but the 2nd and 3rd took me an hour each, then each sim/wc section took be an hour each, finished with no time. The Becker material for Audit came very easy for me because I audit every dat, but I was checking to make sure I was actually signed up for audit when I left. A lot of the material in my test wasn't a main focus in the Becker material, not common to the profession and I didn't do the supplemental readings!
I work a full time job (minimum 50 hours) and commute a minimum of 2 hours round trip, sometimes up to 5 hour round trip daily. I was also wrapping up grad school when I took both these exams (actually graduated 3 days before audit exam), so I didn't put in the time I should of. I am just HOPING I passed at least Audit and would be THRILLED to pass both. I don't know how much longer I can do the drive/work/study routine from 6-7am to 10-11 pm everyday!
