rknight21 nice job of 80 on AUD if u don't mind me asking how did u feel after the exam did u feel as though u knew the tbs?

Wow! Time Management is such an important element to passing these exams. Spending 3/4 of your time on less than 2/3 of the points is going to really cause you problems on the other sections. I really think you should practice time management for your next exams so that you leave yourself more time on the TBS. I had over 1.5 hours for FAR and used every bit of it.

BEC: 79 - April 2011
FAR: 78 - May 2011
AUD: 81 - May 2012
REG: 79 - October 2012
Ethics: Passed - March 2013
I am finally DONE!

yeah Time mangement is important. for me i plan on leaving half the time for all sims., well maybe just an hour for the BEC WC…I had two whole hours for the AUD sims and yup i used it all. Thats with taking a 10 minutes break and going over testlet 1-3 one time…

@ayon the sims rocked my brain so immedeiately after finishing i felt bad.. after a 30 minutes ride home and getting something to eat i started to feel better when i considered the fact that i aced 4 out of the 7 sims…with the sims i honestly think the hardest part is trying to figuring what it is you need to do/answer…. so needless to say i had to look at about 4 of them for a good 5-10 minutes… after you have figured out what exactly to do its matter of doing them quickly… and i think i took about 15-20 just to figure out the research answer…..one thing i learned from wiley sims is to make sure the exact wording of the research question is in your answer…(not just two or three words but the majority of the words)

OMG now I am really scared..

I agree with the other regarding time management, but at least it was AUD. You wrote you almost messed up with the TBS – does that mean you fixed whatever you needed to before the exam was up?

If you are having difficulty getting the mcqs done at a faster pace practice practice practice! FAR (and others, but especially FAR) mcqs and sims are going to require calculations and you will need all the time you can get.

Good luck!!

Well I don't know how to Judge..

but 3 of 7 tbs was straightforward..rest 2 was research..the remaining 2 was relating to FAR.. Which I felt was difficult because of improper time mgmt and also didn't expect FAR in AUD
