@skarbus,

I took Far in the previous testing window and had two research questions. It is not out of the norm. It has been said not to discount the fact that there are two: meaning we aren't supposed to assume that one is pretest.

Hope you passed! I just took Audit in early May. Never sure how I do…..now the waiting game.

O man, im having mine this wed, what review course did you use?

Thanks for the comfort @yankeeaccountant!

I used Becker…. I feel like a good amount of the questions I had on the exam were covered in Becker! I'm feeling very confident about the MC because of that. I do think my MC got harder as I went on though. Two of the simulations were a bit iffy too.

AUD: 81!
BEC: 80!
REG: 85!
FAR: 76!

I took AUD last week and only had one research question. But, when I took FAR back in February, I had two research questions. I don't see having two research questions as a bad thing. I would much rather have had two. They are easy points as long as you save the time to allocate to finding the correct answer. These are relatively easy as long as you don't run out of time. Good luck to all as we wait for our scores. And good luck to those who are cramming in an exam in the last week of this window.

BEC - 71, 74, 77 (Feb - 2011)
FAR - 73, 78 (Feb - 2011)
REG - 83 (Nov 2010)
AUD - 71, 84 (May 2011) - Done!! CPA licensed in TX (July 2011)

Does anyone know if the 40% is evenly divided amoung the SIMS that count? Is it 5 of 7 that count meaning 2 pretest? Assuming 5 count, then each is worth 8% if it is evenly divided. Anyone have any idea on that? Just curious!

Good luck to all!

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

I received an email from our Gleim review provider saying just the same. They had an meeting with AICPA Review Provider in New York City. The first point was “We received some important clarification about Simulation scoring. The presenter informed us that each task is equal to the others when scoring the Simulations. In other words, if there are 6 tasks, each task accounts for 1/6th of your total Simulation score, regardless of how many questions each task contains.”

I think many Research Q's are so easy that it may sound ridiculus to give it equal score. But in the recent REG exam I took in April, the Q was really tough. I spent twice the time spent on any other TBS and I am not even sure I got it right.

I got two research questions when I took FAR last month. I was actually happy because both of them were easy to find. Easy points for me. Let's hope that means I passed! 😀

I had 2 research questions today

But the MCQ were totally off that what i ve been studied…I use Becker, but I dare to say the questions are totally different

I definitely will fail this exam because I made a lot of guess

Really need to know how to tackle this exam, I put alot and alot of effort on using Becker, but very disappointed how i did today @@
