    I struggled through the SIMS because of lack of time because of a noisy generator at the test center, unbelievable! Had 1:25min left and the first 10 minutes I struggled to even hear myself think.

    2 questions:

    1. I can only remember 1 research question, because 1 tab I never looked at for lack of time. Is it always 2 research questions of has anyone had 1 research only?

    2. I did 3 SIMs, the research which was an educated guess and not easy at all (so don’t think it was right) and the 2 other SIMs where I really struggled with time and would probably get 1/3 of marks at the most. And like I said 1 tab I did not have a chance to look at. I know I am kind of asking a loaded question but anyone else who had similar experience in SIMS passed?

    I didn't feel great about the SIMS on FAR at all and I got an 87. I only had one research SIM. I know it is easier said than done, but don't stress about it too much while you wait for your score. It may be better than you think.

    FAR 12/3/14, 87
    AUD 2/3/14, 90
    BEC 4/1/14, 88
    REG 5/27/14, 94

    I second @lindrobe coming out of these exams you can never feel a %100 you just have to wait till the score release to find out. Most people on here can understand how frustrated a person can get between the exam and the score release. So feel free to vent 😉

    Thanks for your posts, they help more than you probably they do. I now remember I only had one research and the SIM that I missed was adjusting entries table for error corrections (similar to the 2013 released one).

    So anyway, we'll see. It's done now.
