Testlet difficulty

    I keep reading about analyzing if there separate testlets got harder as the test moves on. Has anyone actually read something about this, or is it just “another 71” theory?

    I took FAR in Oct and I felt all 3 testlets were extremely hard.

    BEC 84

    I often see people say “I hope that my first WC or simulation is the one that will be graded”. I don't see the link above saying anything about both or only 1 simulation/WC counting towards the grade. Does anyone know if this is true?

    I've asked this question before and no one has ever answered. Just curious…

    I know a person who freaked out and didnt even answer a simulation and still passed. Either they did extremely well on the MC, or they dont grade every simulation I imagine

    BEC - 86
    AUD - 94
    REG - 88
    FAR - 89

    They grade BOTH sims but only ONE written communication. See clarification below (unless they've changed the scoring since then)

    @pshustler – It would make sense that they were able to pass if both were graded because then they only lost 15 points by leaving an entire simluation blank. That leaves you with an 85 (assuming they left their WC blank as well). So yeah it's completely plausible.

    Both are graded.
