I feel as those my 2nd and 3rd testlets were a little bit more difficult, but nothing seemed completely out of left field or anything I hadn’t seen before. I didn’t really have any questions that were several sentences long or one giant paragraph.

I left the test center feeling better than my first attempt, but now I’m starting to panic because I don’t feel as though the testlets got progressively harder. Has anyone had a similar experience and still passed?

Teslets feeling ‘Medium' to you doesn't mean that is how the AICPA sees it. You may just be a BAMF. Try not to think to much into how they felt to you. I know it is hard.

The first testlet was ok for me. The second and third testlet slightly increased in difficulty. There were barely any calculation questions, so I thought I was bombing the exam. I almost walked out before starting the simulations but I decided to gain some experience on the SIMS. I left my research questions completely blank. To be honest, I wasn't sure about any of the SIMS. The following two weeks were brutal as I awaited the scores…turns out I passed. That's the nature of FAR.

Keep your head up! Easier said than done but try and relax as you're waiting for your scores. I've never studied as I'm awaiting scores because I can't concentrate. I use that time to recharge my batteries before starting the next section.

Best of luck!

Thank you both for the feedback, I feel that there is hope!

Try not to waste your time thinking about what the testlets difficulty levels were, it is just wasted energy and will just make you stress more on how you thought you did and worry more taking the test. Just plug along and have the confidence that you know your going to pass, i know from my experience I thought my testlets where whichever and I was probably wrong everytime after I received my test scores. Good Luck, Keep Churning Away.
