    I am working full time. I got home about 7pm last friday, October 16, 2015 and I had a headache. I eat my dinner, took my medicine hoping my headache will be gone tomorrow, took a shower and sleep early. I woke up at 8:00am and I still have a headache. My exam on FAR was 6hours and 30minutes away. I did a quick review for 4 hours and focus on the Government, Non profit and Fair Value because I only read them once. I started my review on FAR 3 weeks ago, about 3 hours a day. I left at 1:30pm and it was traffic, my exam time is 2:30pm. I thought I will not gonna make it but arrived 2:15pm at the testing center. This was my first exam. Started the exam exactly 2:30pm, and my first question was about Non Profit and I was shocked. But read the whole question and said “oh this is fine” easy question. Testlet 1 was easy, more like 80% theoretical and 20%easy computational. I took my time, I plan to allow 45-50mins each of the first 3 testlet. I was able to do review of my answers in the first testlet. I proceeded to the 2nd testlet, I would say this testlet was a medium diffuculty. About 50% theoretical and 50% computational. I consumed 55mins of my time here and was able to review my answers. I would say I am confident with my first 2 testlets but here comes the 3rd testlet. The 3rd testlet was very hard. I would say 25% theoretical and 75% computational. I didn’t notice my time, after I finish the 30th question I only have 1 hour and 10minutes left on the clock. I didn’t review my answers in testlet 3 and proceeded immediately with the SIMS. I allocated 10minutes each simulation. I would say the sims were conceptional, not that hard to answer but not confident with my answers. I would say 4 out of 7. After answering all the simulations, I still have 5 mins left on the clock and used it to review my answers and convinced myself that this is good enough and exit the exam with 1 minute and 38 seconds left on the clock.

    Today is sunday and I will take a rest for the whole week then start my review with AUD. My next exam date will be on November 28, 2015. Waiting for the FAR result and hoping I pass.
