I walked out of my exam feeling like I did well MCQ testlets, aced the research question, and completely bombed the other sims. In addition, I made some silly mistakes regarding questions that I knew the answer to, but did quite a bit of overthinking, complicated it, then dorked it up by picking the wrong answer (even my mom knows that S-corps don't have preferred stock). Second testlet did not get harder. What I mean is that the second testlet did not have more calculations. To me, the calculations are harder and the theory questions are cake. But man, those theory questions were so tricky. If I were grading my exam, I would give myself a 74 and say, “you're almost there, but you should really work on liquidating corporate distributions.” I probably scored in the 73-78 range. I've felt the same way walking out of all of my exams. Passed AUD and FAR within the aforementioned range. But I wouldn't be surprised to see a 73 or 74.
Good luck everyone!
