@ajmallie, yes and no. I bet you expected a simple answer.
Coming out of AUD I didn't know. It was my first one, and I haven't take an exam in years. I was pretty sure I knew a lot of the MCQ but the SIMS were completely foreign to me. I now know they were FAR sims. I knew the kinds of SIMS that could show up but I wasn't as prepared as I wanted. I knew I was borderline either way.
Coming out of REG I was split again. This time I had a decent amount of MCQ I was unsure about but I knew I got a lot of the SIMS right, so it was hard to tell. I think the SIMS really helped me on this one.
Coming out of FAR until the second I saw my score I thought I failed. Of course I knew there was a chance I beat the 75 line, but I wasn't expecting it. That one was a complete shock and still is.
BEC was tricky. I thought I did REALLY well as I left, but then I started remembering all the questions I was unsure about. Then I realized there were plenty of questions I may have thought I knew but I messed up (calculations, for example). I basically felt the same as AUD and REG.
FAR was really the one I came out feeling awful about, but looks like I studied just about enough for each one. A lot of dedication, a lot of sacrifices.
AUD - July 2014 - 76
REG - August 2014 - 82
FAR - November 2014 - 78
BEC - January 2015 - 81
DONE!!!!

It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't how hard you're hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward. How much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!"
