I took FAR on 12/5 after having spent 7 solid weeks studying. I watched the lectures, did the homework, wrote the ninja notes countless times and all that played in my car was the ninja audio. My BEC exam expires Feb 20 2014 any advice on the retake? The SIMS murdered me with the journal entries!

First, I'm in the same boat as you guys. It seems like I was “weaker” across the board, and weaker than you, yet I received a higher score (69). Interesting if you think about this in terms of scoring…

were you significantly weaker in your weaker categories than better in my comparables?

Simulations (40%) weaker

AUD - 75*, 88 done 5/14! (*exp)
BEC - 74 , 77
REG - 65 , 76 (10 point combooo!!)
FAR - 69 , 75

[I should be studying]

My advice is to do what I'm doing – restudy everything as much as possible and cross your fingers.

I agree with zieba, the scoring is interesting considering I was only comparable in 2 categories and weaker in everything else. That's probably why there have been so many posts about how the performance report is garbage.
