I’ll say that I’m cautiously optimistic. The 2nd testlet was definitely more difficult than the 1st, and the 3rd was more difficult than the 2nd. There were only a few questions in which I didn’t recognize the topic at all (so complete guess) and I feel pretty confident about most of the calculations. Two of the topics in the written communications were things I knew well, and the third topic was a bit of a guess (though I looked up the answer when I got home and I came really close). I realize that knowledge of the topic isn’t graded, but it definitely helps me write a well thought out memo! I tend to do well with memo writing, etc so I think that part went fairly well. So, while I don’t want to say that I think it went awesome, I do think that it went pretty well and I’m hopeful that I’ll get the last passing score that I need! For the record, I felt about the same way when I got done with Audit, and that turned out well.

Let the waiting begin…

Also, I used Becker (lectures and many simulated exams, though I didn’t work the MCQs for all study units), I read and then rewrote the NINJA notes, and I made use of cpareviewforfree for some additional MCQ. I also used the Becker flashcards for some last minute studying in my car prior to the exam.
