I just today took the FAR Practice Exam #1 in Becker and got the following scores

Testlet 1 – 83

Testlet 2 – 73

Testlet 3 – 67

Simulations:

1 – 62

2 – 67

3 – 100

4 – 100

5 – 71

6 – 62

7 – 100

I take the exam a week from Monday and feel like there’s no way i’ll pass with these scores, how screwed am I?

You can't estimate how well you will do on the actual exam based on percentages on practice exams. Remember that scoring is based on question weights for the real thing. Just use your practice exam to identify what topics you need to go back and revisit before your real exam and try not to freak out. Keep working at it and you'll do fine.

FAR - Feb 2012 - 86
BEC - Apr 2012 - 85
AUD - Apr 2012 - 89
REG - May 2012 - 78

You should score 10pts higher on the real exam than the becker practice exams, they are harder than the real thing.

AUD- 71, 73, 87 Done!!!!!
BEC- 75
FAR- 72, 77
REG- 77

On Becker REG I was consistently scoring 65 and ending up getting an 83 on the real exam. Becker's Q's are definitely harder/lengthier/more complex than the real exam.

I was scoring 73% (I calculated SIMS in too, with less weight for research Qs) raw on those becker exams. I ended up with an 87..I would say practice your SIMS a bit but you're almost guaranteed to pass

Using Becker, Ninja Notes, and CpaReviewForFree

FAR - 87 (2/17)
REG - 89 (4/21)
AUD - 89 (5/31)
BEC - 89 (7/11)

Thanks for the words of encouragement everyone, it's given me that last bit of motivation I need to make it through this week!
