Just curious if anyone has ever received the score they felt they would get when they left the exam. Many posters write, “I’m sure I failed X” and then pass with 85-90s or write, “I felt good about X” and then later write they failed. Was this prediction based mostly on emotion, or did you actually count the number of questions you believed you nailed to get an idea of your raw percentage?

For my first one (audit) i didnt know what to expect, but i felt like I passed and I did

For Reg, I though i did poorly. I expected to be on the bubble (73-77 range).. Ended up with a 86

For FAR, i though I did good. I though it was my best exam. I expected a 90+ considering i felt better on it than in Audit. I got the same 86 I got on Reg. Go figure

For BEC, i only had 3 weeks to prepared and i was burned out from FARE. I didnt prepare for it like I did for the other 3, but after the exam I was happy because I felt like i have a fighting chance of passing. Expected to be in the bubble as well and this time i was right (76)

LOL< gave birth to accounting …triplets!> You guys & girls certainly have wild imagination!

For every section taken I don't predict or think of a score other than that “most likely than not” I've passed, and it proved to be true so far. Waiting for REG impatiently.

@MCKLT, wrong range, go higher. Remember, exam is being compared to other candidates' performance, so you've got this. While I was being checked in for REG, there was a young dude checking in and stating several times that he studied for two weeks. Finally he looks at me and asks what i'm taking and how long I've studied. Imagine his dismay as I've said taking REG same as you are and studied every day for the past 2.5 months. You should see change in his face, but oh well people do this to themselves! I did encourage him to take the exam and give it a best shot but seriously he should have not asked me about preparation b/c i'm not going to lie and say that I barely looked at the bloody materials!
