@ Megan,
Sorry to hear about your result. I was wishing you to pass as I used to read your blogs and I feel as I know you personally.
I have passed FAR with 77 and now I am done with CPA exam..
After passing FAR in third attempt in 2011 is dont under estimate simulations.
This time I made sure I have 1:30 hrs left for siims.
My MCQs were not getting harder and I felt I am going to fail.
But sims atleast I attempted all of them.. everytime I used to leave 3 sims blank.
Though I wasn't sure I would pass I thought I would fail with 74 or 73 like my previous experiences with other exams.
I guess working on those sims pushed my bar to 77…
Good luck on your studying!!
