I took BEC last Saturday and it went all Medium/Easy. But with the last testlet it felt like all the questions were insulting my intelligence. So anyway I’m trying to stay positive and hopeful by asking if anyone has passed with all Medium/Easy testlets. The WC I felt great on 2 out of the 3.

AICPA says its only medium/hard. Mine went Med/Hard/Med

I took FAR and all of mine were easy or felt easy. I'd maybe give a medium to the second testlet but I only marked about 2 or 3 questions per testlet. Obviously I wasn't doing as well as I thought since I got a 78 but there were no longcalculations as I had expected, which would have made me rate it as hard.

FAR - 78*
AUD - 66, 79
REG - 73, 76
BEC - 79

I did see aicpa says hard and medium only. Thanks for all the feedback. I've moved on to AUD today and putting BEC behind me.

Honestly we have no idea what questions they mark as hard or medium! It is all a guessing game!

STOP STRESSING about the difficulty of the questions! Just try to relax until you receive your score.

{R: PASSED!! (I passed one!)}
{B: PASSED!! (Halfway there!)}
{F: PASSED!! (1 left!!!)}
{A: PASSED(I am done!!)}

I hear BEC is actually not adaptive.

I saw an AICPA post on their website that said that it is possible to pass with a Med/Med/Med testlet; however, one would need to ROCK the sims. Not sure if this applies to BEC.

If it makes you feel any better, I felt the same way after BEC and passed.

Wend I took BEC I noticed that my questions never became more difficult. I think I got all Mediums and I ended up getting an 81. It is very hard to try to figure out how you did based on the difficulty of your questions.

I've only taken two exams, I am more comfortable if I can tell it got more difficult. I know my BEC second and third testlet were hard. Ridiculously hard, but it still is a bit of a relief. For REG my second and third were hard and I got a 92. Still from what I've seen on here, I think a lot of people do not have that perception down well. So it may have gotten more difficult and you just didn't realize it. From the AICPA website, it is possible to pass with all medium but you need to do well on the first two and great on the third one.

@DunkinDonutsJunkie I just had a similar situation on Sunday with AUD. I got a medium testlet, a hard testlet and then a testlet that was so easy it felt like it was insulting. I don't know if this is good or bad. I finished the exam with well over an hour to spare which is weird because I'm usually testing right up to the last minute. I really hope I pass this one.

FAR- 73, 80
BEC- 81
REG- 67, 75
AUD- 71, 74, 83

Ethics- 95

When I passed Audit I left thinking ‘that was easy' and promptly freaked out until I got my score, a 79. 🙂 Just try to forge ahead with studying and don't over analyze… what's done is done now anyway, worrying will do nothing but distract you from the next section!

BEC - 78 8/14
AUD - 79 7/14
FAR - TBD 10/15
REG - TBD 11/15
