    @dethnode… Yes, the spreadsheet and AL is only available with the simulations. I did not use the spreadsheet once in FAR or REG, if that gives you a hint of how useful it might be. It's not that I didn't just not use it but I never came across a simulation where I thought it might even be pertinent.

    @Dethnode I took my FAR exam in April and consistently kept getting low 70s high 60s (not once did I get a “pass”) on my Wiley Test Bank practice exams. On the actual exam I finished all 90 MCQs (without any breaks) in an hour and had 3 hours to do my sims, I think I spent 20 minutes on the 6 of them and close to 40 on the last one (which I am sure I got wrong) and I still passed. Take the practice exam 2 or 3 times and gauge yourself time wise, if you see that you are constantly finishing the exam in 2 hours you know that on exam day you can take your time and double check everything. If you are scrambling for time, adjust you technique so you do not run out of time on the sims. Best of luck to you!

    I used Yaegar and the wiley test bank and book- and scored consistently over 95% on all tests in the testbank- but I did 3000 MCQ–… but the book is much harder and I was missing only 1-2 questions when I would go through all the MC's… it is really really important that you utilize the “not seen fewer than 2 time”… etc… I did this until I was up to 4 times… so I did the entire test bank for BEC at least 4 times each question then all the practice tests… the total was 3000 questions… My entire 72 MCQ practice tests were taking 45 minutes to complete with 98% accuracy


    so..

    NOT to divulge any test information because I just sat for BEC… but I left with this statement…….. “I studied for one test and just took another”…………… I couldn't have studied MORE, done more MCQ's or spent more time… I have no clue if I passed but I think its doubtful… and I really don't know if it is Wiley, or if I just didn't read the book enough times.. I really have no idea… but I'll find out in a couple of weeks.

    I was averaging in the high 80s on the Wiley test bank and I got an 87 on the exam. That is pretty accurate.

    For AUD, I scored around 79 on the test bank (sims & MCQs) and got a 93 on the test. It was getting to the point where I kind of remembered every question, and I focused on why the other answer choices were wrong.

    Hopefully I'll have similar luck on FAR.

    AUD - 7/5/13 - 93

    REG - 2/24/14 - 91! DONE!
