I just got my grades back for AUD and REG and got 74s on both! On both exams I got stronger/comparable on almost all of the MC sections, but weaker on the sims. So I must have done way weaker- and I knew this walking out of each exam.. Also, I definitely put way more time in studying for MC’s than SIMS. However, I just do not know how to study for them… Does anyone have any suggestions??

Thank you!

It all depends on how you do and the so called “luck of the draw.”

For AUD, my multiple choices I had:

– 1 Comparable…..//……- Overall MCQ = Stronger

– 1 Weaker………..//……- Overall Sims = Weaker

– 4 Stronger……….// …..- Final Score = 79

For REG, my multiple choices I had:

– 5 Comparable…..//……- Overall MCQ = Stronger

– 1 Stronger……….//……- Overall Sims = Weaker

– …………………….//……- Final Score = 75

I still believe if you do well on MCQs it will pay off big time even if your Sims are horrible. Granted these two exams are both retakes and I had a better understanding of what to expect. I am naturally bad at Sims to begin with and when I'm reviewing I spend like about 2 hours max during my entire time to go through Sims, while the majority of time is on MCQs. Maybe you had an ugly exam for that particular day, you get those sometimes, I know I have.

REG = 58 (02-20-13), 75 (05-01-13)
AUD = 67 (05-29-13), 79 (08-29-13)
BEC = 83 (07-31-13)
FAR = 72 (10-29-13), 69 (02-27-14), 73 (04-16-14), 81(08-13-14)

Where do you see how you compared?

I took my first exam and found out I failed FAR yesterday but can't find where to see how I did on McQ and SIMS.
