My first testlet was pretty easy.Questions was straight to the point.There were few questions on something that a moderator just edited out. Questions were similar to those AICPA release questions.Maximum question length around 6-7 sentence so it was pretty simpler as compared to wiley book. 2nd testlet was hard though and again third testlet was ok ok.There were few questions twisted.

My Simulations was brutal and totally edited out by a moderator.

Dont know what will happen ..Fingers crossed and hoping for the best..

I am planing for BEC next and using Yaeger material (at your pace plan).Please suggest me is it a good choice?

Also should i wait for the FAR results to come out or order material for BEC?

@Rhea,

I'm far from an expert, but here was my experience in a nutshell…

I sat for FAR in October and got a 63. I didn't expect to pass, but was glad to get the experience under my belt. Once I confirmed that I didn't pass, I went back and started reviewing FAR again. I had this whole plan to systematically review everything again, breezing through stuff that I knew and buckling down on areas I considered weaknesses.

I didn't do a great job of sticking to that plan. I ended up doing a bit of a hodge-podge where I skipped around to various areas I knew I needed to work on. Ultimately my routine consisted of banging out MCQs (and some SIMs) on a random basis and taking note of what topics were consistently giving me trouble. I felt stressed over the last week or so leading up to my exam date because I felt like there were still a few areas I wasn't comfortable enough with. Then on the exam date, I felt like it was so much more difficult than my first attempt. As my first post in this thread indicates, I was ready to give up. But somehow I skated by on the thinnest of margins…

Going forward I need to get better at studying efficiently and being consistent in my approach. I feel I got very lucky to pass FAR on my 2nd attempt.

Sorry for the longish post. My two cents would echo what Zieba said earlier. FAR is freshest in your mind and since there's so much freaking detail in FAR, I would circle back and try to move forward on it if you feel like you know what you need to work on.

Good luck. I really grew to hate FAR over the last few months.
