Has anyone actually consistently guessed their score +/- 5 points. I have taken 9 exams and only once did I leave the test center and think I got a certain score and I was within five points of what I thought.

I hate that You never know. I sometimes laugh when I read a post from someone who got a 99 who thought they failed.

I was always within 5 points of my guess. I ran correlations between Becker practice exam results and actual results, and then I plugged in my numbers to see my predicted score. I got a little higher than I thought I would on AUD and a little lower on REG.

FAR: May 1st, 2014 - 91
AUD: May 29th, 2014 - 97!
BEC: July 16th, 2014 - 91
REG: August 29th, 2014 - 88

Did your classes not grade on a curve? Throw that into a system that doesn't release questions/answers or even how it determines what percentage of people will pass and you can never tell. I barely tried with FAR and BEC and passed both. I put more effort into REG and AUD and I have failed both. One miserably (56 REG)

I took my BEC exam. I think I either just passed with above 75 or less than 75 by a few points. I'll be pissed if I get like a 60 but idk I don't think I did too bad because a lot of the questions I'm 100% sure it's right unless it was a certain word that changes the correct answer to change

BEC: 82
FAR: 80
REG: 81
AUD: Last exam, end of may 2016.

Key to passing the exam is understanding the topic chapter and sections, not just memorizing what you read. The more you practice multiple choice, the greater chance you have to passing the exam.

I just finished taking the Audit exam. The first testlet went well, second testlet definitely got more difficult, but not sure about the third testlet. Felt like the simulations were impossible so I'm not sure how to feel. Nervously awaiting March 10th!!!

I'm betting I got an 80 on my BEC retake. When I took REG and FAR I didn't think I passed, but I did. I figured I passed the first time I took the BEC section, and knew I didn't pass the second time I took it. The first time I took AUD I thought I passed but got a 74.

I was able to relatively guess both my AUD and BEC scores. I thought 75-78 for AUD and 77-80 for BEC. I ended up scoring 77 for AUD and 79 for BEC.

FAR was a pleasant surprise I thought I failed it between a 68-70. Ended up with a 79

REG, I knew I did well and guessed anywhere between 80-85. Ended up with an 83.

There was a topic a while back that included Becker exam scores vs actual scores and someone came up with a formula to estimate what you would actually score based on how well you did on the Becker practice exam. It was actually pretty accurate in guessing my FAR and AUD scores.

FAR 77 12/9/14
AUD 89 2/24/15
BEC 81 3/10/15
REG 71 5/27/15 83 8/25/15 (it's done!!!)

I used the Ninja stats as an indicator of how I'd do on the final exams. I hit the review state for each section of the exam, and my actual exam scores were 7-9 points higher than my averages in Ninja.

FAR: 84 (11/14/14)
AUD: 90 (01/15/15)
BEC: 82 (02/24/15)
REG: 81 (05/09/15)

MBA: 12/21/10
CPA: 07/16/15 (KY)
CMA: TBD?
