I am not sure if this topic has been posted here or not and I apologize if it has… I know that each of the sets of Multiple Choice questions either get more difficult or less difficult based on your performance but is there any carry over to the Part 2 questions? If you do awesome on the MC are the Short answers then more difficult or is it just random? Or does no one really know how the NASBA people handle this stuff?! Thank you for any response!

Heres a link to the explanation of how the exam is scored. Also the AICPA writes the exam and NASBA administers it.

I've taken 3 tests at this point and I've had harder questions on the first testlet than the second and third testlets. When I took FAR, the questions on my third testlet were the easiest of the entire exam and I got a 93. Just take the test and hope you pass. Spending time thinking about if a testlet is getting difficult is a complete waste of time.

FAR - 93
REG - 87
BEC - 84!!!!
AUD - 99!!!!!! CPA exam complete.

NYCaccountant I totally agree, I asked because I took Audit a couple of weeks ago and couldn't believe how much easier the Part 2s were from the first time I took it .. Guess its just luck of the draw.
