So, I took AUD yesterday and got done with the exam with about 1 hour left. The survey did not come up on the screen after I completed the last testlet. It just had me click “yes” like 3 times to confirm I wanted to exit exam. I didn’t think much of it cause this is only the second exam I have taken, so I didn’t say anything to the proctor. Now I am worried that maybe my exam didn’t go through properly. Has anyone else had this happen to them? If so, did everything turn out ok?

When I took FAR in December, the computers just randomly shut off and everyone had to leave the room, sign out, bla bla bla. It seems that there are alot of things that go wrong at these testing centers.

FAR 12/3/14, 87
AUD 2/3/14, 90
BEC 4/1/14, 88
REG 5/27/14, 94

@NeverGiveUpCPA: what happened? Did you pass?

@db…LOL…oh no I didn't. But the only reason I haven't made a fuss is because I only got about 25% of the way through my FAR study material. I just ran out of study time. But I figured I may as well try the exam since I was trying to beat the new CA requirements in January. I got a 51, which was pretty crushing at first. But since I didn't get very far through the material, I think it wasn't so bad. In fact, it made me less scared of taking FAR now. At least it was a lesson learned on an exam that really I had no expectations of passing. I'm sure I could reason that I wasted a lot of time on that question and it flustered me on the other SIMs…but truth be told…I didn't deserve a pass! The multiple choice was not so bad, but I was totally unprepared for the SIMs.
