    I definitely did not spend enough time working various simulations. It also seemed that the 3rd testlet was extremely difficult.

    What did you do to practice SIMS?

    FAR: April or May 2014
    AUD:
    REG:
    BEC:
    Scared: 100

    FAR first and only attempt: 2014 Wiley textbook, 10 Pt Combo, and WTB

    I only get one try to have to give it my all and try to get 75 on my first go around.

    How were the SIMs brutal? Did you use Becker to prepare (if so, was the material similar)?

    AUD- 97 1x
    REG- 81 1x
    BEC- 79 1x
    FAR- 88 1x

    DONE!

    10/1/12 to 2/28/14

    It might still work out πŸ™‚

    I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

    "Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"

    On my last FAR attempt, I was sure I failed because I had the SIMS from hell…it turns out I passed and even got “stronger” on that part.

    Good luck and hopefully you have a similar outcome on score release day πŸ™‚

    Took FAR this morning also. It was rough. Ran out of time, left one Sim blank, half aced through another. Hope one of those two were pre tests I have only ran out of time a handful of times on any tests I've taken. Normally have spare time. If I failed I am going to study **Edited” was drilled on those subjects.

    I'm not so sure she/he can answer that. We have to be really careful about disclosing things on the test. It's just best to avoid gray areas.

    AUD - 10/21/16 (75----07/2010 expired)
    FAR - 10/28/16
    BEC - 11/2016
