You are looking at the research question from the backwards perspective. 2 research doesn't necessarily mean you did well on the M/C, it means that the candidates were more likely to do well on the SIMS. Research questions can either make you or break you but if you got two right, you start off with 16 of 16 points, meaning you only need to get 59/84 (70%) with no scale on the remainder of the test to pass.
I took REG and I'm really confident I got my 1 research question right, but I'm praying not having two isn't what holds me back from a passing score. Let's hope I did well on the rest of the test as well. Since I've started the exam I've earned my MBA, got promoted, got married, gone through a long (A&A busy season), had a baby, and just had my first non-study day off of the year. It's been a battle for the last 14-15 months not having any time to just sit back and relax so I'm really hoping I'm filing to be a CPA next week.
