    Taking FAR today was painful. Testlet 1&2 seemed easy-medium and testlet 3 medium but there were some easy questions where I was unable to remember the detail, uggh. Overall, I felt the MCQs were ok but the SIMS were killer. I used Yaeger/Wiley and didn’t feel the practice SIMS covered the SIMS on the exam. For REG and BEC, I added GLEIM SIMS to my armor and strongly regret not doing the same for FAR. Also, I felt the verbiage for the FAR questions were confusing. I’m planning for a retake but hoping I’m wrong. One more thing…the AICPA outline for % of questions per section (i.e. Government Accounting) was way off per my exam. I’m finding out if the retake creates additional questions on the ‘weaker’ sections or if the retake is almost like sitting for the exam the first-time. If anyone knows this answer, please let me know. Thanks!

    Well I'm not sure about the rest of the exam but I do know my simulations were completely different. Still brutal though, I was very lost. I am hoping for a 75 but it is very doubtful after the simulations. I felt ok on the MC, but once I saw the Sims I was like yea I ain't passing. lol Well I hope we all pass anyways! Good luck everyone! The wait isn't long!

    I failed by 3 points. Pretty bummed, but I am not totally shocked. We'll I'm taking AUD 10/01, and then here comes another FAR retake. Ugghh! I hope you guys have better news than me!
