I encountered a few threads here where people say they didn’t study and people responded saying, “Just take the test, maybe you’ll pass!” So, I’m curious. Has anyone actually not studied for any section, guessed their way through the exam and actually passed?? I honestly think it’s not possible, but maybe someone here can prove me wrong.

I tried it for AUD once … it was either go take the exam or waste an expiring NTS so I did it.

I took REG … went to lunch … took AUD.

69…which really isn't bad for not studying

Isn't bad?? I'd say that's excellent for not studying. Some people just have a mind for AUD, it's more difficult for others.

FAR - 68, 79
AUD - 82
REG - 71, 71, 80
BEC - 76

I took BEC without studying and scored a 69 as well. Looking back at it I had some very easy SIMs topics.

I am currently kicking my self for not putting in a little extra effort when I took it the first time. I have been studying this time and will take it on Saturday. Hopefully I get an easy test like last time.

FAR: Done
REG: Done
AUD: Done
BEC: Done

Sure, you can pass a section and not study for it..but seriously, why risk it?

For me it was my first time applying for a NTS so I applied way to early, before I really even started studying, and applied for all 4 parts at once. My NTS was expiring and I figured BEC seemed to give the best odds if I guess. The NTS was a sunk cost, might as well get the practice.

FAR: Done
REG: Done
AUD: Done
