My average is 74, trending is 92-I promise i have not memorized my answers-this is me studying for a FAR-re-take. I was spending a lot of my time doing and re-doing missed since last time seen, which is probably why my average is so much lower? Should I worry? I know my problem areas so will make sure to hit those harder than others, and generally do random sets of MCQ to keep all the info fresh. Any other pointers are much appreciated!

If you have gone through all the questions including missed ones, why not reset all the stats and start fresh? You will get your new average and your trending score shouldn't be too far away from it.

BEC = 72 (6/08/16)
FAR = ?
REG = ?
AUD = ?

Lentilcounter-no I can't do that! 🙂 LOL I think I am just going to make sure my average is in the high 70s and focus on my problem areas and SIMS-resetting my stats seems extreme:) (I know I am weird:)) LOL

I can't remember what exam it was, but I had this problem as well. I think it was BEC. Don't worry too much because your average could be thrown off if you were doing really poorly in the beginning. The trending score is a more current idea of where you stand.

FAR - 80
AUD - 82
BEC - 80
REG - 85

ETHICS - 90
EXPERIENCE - COMPLETE

@anyatver

You can also calculate your own average. I agree with what CPA2BEE said.

Take your own average of the last 5 to 10 sets of random problems that you did. Your 74% is being dragged by your weaker performance in the beginning of your studying. I would also take the median of your scores. If your median and average are very similar, then the data doesn't have any outlier scores. These are scores that are really high or really low relative to the other scores and that might be artificially inflating or deflating the average.

BEC = 72 (6/08/16)
FAR = ?
REG = ?
AUD = ?

Mine are always off. For FAR mine was like average 68 trending 74, AUD was approx. average 72 trending 88 and REG right now is average 66 trending 82.

I don't worry about it at all. Just as long as you're learning and you know why you're getting the answers right/wrong it doesn't matter much.

Thanks guys! I honestly don't know how I could get through this process without this forum:)
