    Hi all,

    Just want your opinion/thoughts on something. Have you felt that you put in the effort and knew the material very well but didn’t pass because you got an out of whack test? I remember for reg I got a 70 the first time, then boosted my score by 15 points the second time with an 85. Studying the second time around, I didn’t do anything different, but maybe it helped to see it a second time, but I just felt the first test was very hard and the second one was easier (so easy that I told people that if I failed, it’s definitely rigged lol). Have you felt at times that you just got stuck with an out of left field exam, only to pass afterwards?

    90 multiple choice questions should be enough to take random chance of just getting whacked out test out of the equation I would think. With much fewer simulation questions that may be more of a factor.

    I believe that luck of the draw comes into play when you put in that launch code. The material is so wide and deep there is no way you can remember everything about every topic.

    I think so. I got a 71 then a 70 on BEC. On the 71 I nailed the WCs and scored comparable but then second time I took it I literally didn't know any of them despite doing better on the MCQ portion. I'm pretty sure I would have gotten had there been different WCs the on my retake.

    I've had it both ways – my last FAR test was beyond brutal in difficulty compared with my first, including the first testlet which they say is predetermined.

    When I passed audit, I walked out in disbelief that the test seemed so easy. It felt like a hanging curve-ball waiting to be smashed.

    I've given up trying to figure it out. I just hope I can go from 74 to 88 a second time!

    B: 77 (LC), 75
    A: 63,74,88
    R: 60,67,80
    F: 71,74,74 again, and 86 - DONE!

    Ethics and application - done.
