So 2 weeks until this batch of scores are released. I saw someone do this kind of thread for my Audit exam and it really helped seeing everyone get together to chat about it.

My first testlet was not bad at all. I went through it fairly quick, probably 30 minutes. The second testlet was hard, questions were really in depth. It took me 45-50 minutes for the second and third testlet. My Sims were horrible, there were almost all calculations and JE so AU didn't help at all. I did get the research questions right and probably 1 question completely correct. 75% on the third question and probably 75% on another one. 2 of them I completely guess.

I took AUD on 3/9 and am actively hoping and praying for a passing score. All I need is a 75–not a 76 or a 99. I tried to be a detective when reading my mcqs, but I hope I didn't overthink it.

I'm tired of operating in fear and mediocrity. It's time to try. It's time to do. It's time to go.

How were your sims KGREEN? Any DRS?

[kmeadows]

Hi everyone! Just took REG yesterday and I think the simulations may have destroyed me. I am really hoping to pass this one before the big changes! Good luck to everyone!!

The first time I took REG, the sims destroyed me and I got a 74. I couldn't even find the research question and it was the first time I had seen a DRS on an actual exam

NeedsA75, the SIMs were reasonable I guess. I did not get a DRS. Though, I did get to use the AU on the research (of course) and another one. Two of the others incorporated FAR elements. And I honestly, cannot remember in this moment what the others were about 🤦‍♂️.

I just got out of the AUD exam. I felt better this time than I did with BEC. The second testlet was pretty brutal. I flagged probably 10-12 questions. The third was pretty hard too, but I don't think it was as bad as the second one. The sims were comparable to what I've seen in test banks. One DRS took me about 25 minutes. I still finished with just over an hour left. Not sure if that's a good thing or not. And the wait begins…

Took AUD today. I've never seen another CPA test taker at Prometric until today. There were at least 5 of us. I woke up with a cold. Ugh. Exam went okay I think. I feel decent about the MCQ and pretty good about the Sims. Only one sim I felt was tricky. Hoping for a good score come release. Hopefully it wasn't just the meds I was on.

[MattBlackWRX]

Honestly, I think it's impossible to tell how you did. Unless you are for sure you didn't get any questions right and didn't finish.

@Needsa75 – I think we had the same DRS. I had a little over 2 hours going into SIMs and I absolutely lost it once I started to realize what I was expected to do for the DRS.

I would definitely classify it as “unreasonable” because searching for the information in this would have taken the most experienced auditor an hour. The rest were pretty okay – I definitely miscalculated one like a fool, but I felt like 4/7 were FAR SIMs.

Actually looking at your experience we might have just had the exam same test. Agree with the bipolar MCQ!

Ugh. I don't know how to enjoy the next 11 days! I just want to be done!

FAR - 76 - [4]
BEC - 71, 73, September 9 2016
AUD - July 28 2016
REG - October 2016

Black coffee, stress, and cottage cheese pancakes!

I just took REG today. My testlets went:

1) Easy
2) Hard
3) Hard

Sims
1) Good
2) Okay
3) Okay
4) not good
5) Okay
6) Good (research 100% correct)

With these stats this is a good sign right? I would imagine getting two hard testlets in a row is a good sign that I scored decently well on the multiple choice, correct? I'm praying for us all – good luck and best wishes.

Cheers.

^^^Looks like a passing effort to me…My AUD exam was a similar experience..

[RyonT]

Every test taker I saw today was there for the exam. The lady checking people in said that's basically all they've had today.

[Anonymous]

I hope so @needsa75! Good luck on your Audit score.

Cheers

I spent 4 weeks bemoaning the BEC section, but the test itself wasn't so bad. People ask: how did you do? It's funny, can anyone really answer that? I didn't leave crying, nor did I want to give everyone high-fives on my way out of Prometric. BTW, 8,000 CPA candidates at Prometric today. And most of them looked decent! I hope to God they were going straight to work after – otherwise, I am a real slug…

That f-ing BEC section. I know it's supposed to be easy but it kicked my ass. I am hoping that I am one of the few that genuinely find that material tougher – otherwise, REG and FAR are going to be the death of me.
