Hi everyone. How are you doing? Soooooo, I just took the FAR exam. Hmmmmmm, can someone shout BRUTALLLLLL!!!
I went for the exam with the thought that I would face nice MCQs and semi-brutal sims. I made an 81 on the mock exam using the Gleim CPA review book, and I reviewed the AICPA sample test before the exam.
I got to the exam center by 8:15 am, got started super early. They gave me a calculator, thank God!.
The first testlet, I was like “I thought this was supposed to be the easy testlet. What is going on here? who set these questions. I had about 12 questions flagged and I started panicking. Then I remembered the words of my friend, “You will not die if you fail”, so I was like Be calm, Tolu.
I started the second testlet and it was the same. The questions got longer, I was like if the Multiple Choice questions are like these, the simulations are going to kill me. I started the simulations and they were not that bad, I got two research questions. I finished with 28 minutes left on the clock.
For those taking the FAR exam anytime soon, my tips are:
1) Please practice simulations with your review book and the AICPA sample test.
2) Be calm, You can do it!!!!

Thank you to monikernc and JFKGY for your support and words of encouragement before the exam. I will sleep well tonight.

@teegirl,I finished all four sections at first attempt and get a half – half chance of difficult SIMs. AUD and REG — easier SIMs; FAR and BEC – difficult SIMs. My FAR SIMs are crazily difficult and I almost failed.

AUD - 85
BEC - 90
FAR - 77
REG - 91
