I just finished the exam about an hour ago. I am not sure what to think. I feel like there was a lot that I knew and some that I didnt. the Sims were way out there for me, I am not sure how I did on them. I feel like the MCs were pretty straight forward. I would rate them easy, easy, hard from my experience. I know most people say they come out feeling like they failed but I really don’t feel like I know if I passed or failed. I have now idea. A word of advice do not second guess yourself. If you answer the question just move on. I know that I changed at least one correct answer to a wrong one (woops). Trust yourself and your instincts. Keeping a positive attitude and hoping I passed, I’ll be starting to Study Audit now and hope to take it at the back end of this window. Good luck to everyone testing in this window.

@wawr47aa87 – sounds like you and I had a similar exam experiences. I took FAR yesterday, for the 4th time… *sigh*

In my 3 previous attempts I felt like testlets 1-3 always stayed the same level of difficulty (medium)… however yesterday on testlet 2, half of the questions I had no clue on because I had never seen the material and had to make educated guesses. Then when testlet 3 came up, I started to feel discouraged because the questions were so basic. None were hard like the questions from Becker or Ninja.

SIMS have always been my downfall, so for this exam despite what I read in a lot of other posts, I did every SIM in Becker and Ninja. I felt comfortable this time working them out. One SIM (I hope was the pretest one) was impossible to even understand what they wanted me to do – thankfully it only had 9 fill in the blanks, so i hope it didn't count for too many points if it wasn't a pretest question. The other 6 were decent and manageable and I feel I did ok on them, but who really knows.

Here's to hoping we both get passing scores on Aug 4!!

BEC - 66, 77 (3/14* expired), 82 (11/15)
AUD - 58 (4/14), 76 (8/14)
REG - 75 (6/14)
FAR - 72 (11/14), 67 (1/15), 68 (5/15), 68 (7/15), 80!!!! (11/15)

@RWCPA: I completely agree that you should never change ur answers. I manage to do this in EVERY exam I take, and I always change to the wrong answer. Somehow I always convince myself that what I'm changing to is the correct one. It's something I can never stop.

Also, my FAR testlets never got harder…but then again I barely passed. Hoping for the best for u! Keep up the positive attitude.

AUD: 84
FAR: 75
BEC: 78
REG: 75

DONE-ZO!!!!!!!!

REG: Used Becker 2014 book, NINJA MCQ, Ninja notes, ninja audio

Looks like we are all on the same boat. I am taking BEC on 7/28 and AUD on 8/25. I better pass, considering that I have been doing nothing but studying and putting my life on hold.
