Hi Jeff,

Do you know if I will automatically be in Wave 2 if I had all unrelated simulation tabs? I'm not sure if this is the new norm as it seems to be happening more and more. Just trying to figure out if I have a long 2+ month wait ahead of me!

Thanks for your help!

It does not necessarily mean you are in wave 2. I had unrelated topics on my sims for AUD, REG and FAR. I took AUD and FAR in the beginning of the testing windows and was in wave 1. I took REG after the cutoff for wave 1 and was in wave 2 not 2.5 (or 2a).

Thanks gman7589! It's nice to know there is hope for Wave 1 — an almost 3 month wait would just be terrible!

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum and I hope some one to guide me please, I'm going to take my FAR next Nov and I wish to know which sim I should focus.

I opened the prediction website but I didnt understand what useful it is, can any one help?

Thanks

ahmed83 – welcome to the site!

The score predictions will become more relevant in November as people await their scores. I had several requests for them early, so I posted them.

This post will be more applicable for you right now…I created a discussion area for people taking FAR this window.

I heard that the BEC scores were already released by NASBA for this window, does that mean FAR should be earlier than predicted too??

[Anonymous]

If the early release of BEC swings in line with FAR. Are we looking at a possible Thursday release by NASBA for FAR scores?

[jeff]

Mac – yeah, probably Thursday-ish.

Oh god…..here we go. It would be a huge boost for me for AUD 11/30 if I received news of a passing FAR grade. I did well on my first two exams, but I am past caring about that…..I would gladly accept a lower passing grade, I just want this to be over with.

I do think that *if* I pass this one, it will have been on the lower side of passing, I don't anticipate anything in the 85-90 range like I pulled on BEC-REG.

I'm with ya Patrick, FAR is my last exam and I wasn't pleased coming out of the testing room. I'm honestly expecting to bring study material to Christmas to prepare for a Jan. re-take. Maybe Christmas will come early….

I am with you guys, the suspense is killing me.

I feel the same way, didnt't come out of FAR thinking good things. I think I nailed the communications but he rest of the sims were a complete blur, not to mention I couldn't get either research question somehow. The MC were fair I thought but I know if I passed it will be in the 75-80 range. I'm 2 for 2 though getting thru REG and BEC first try, I'm taking AUD Nov. 30, does anyone have any specific advice, especially regarding the sims?

[IN-CPA-question mark]

This is my last one too. WIth my luck, it will be the last one released, and there will probably be NASBA tech. difficulties!

Hey, Patrick909, I took FAR on Friday 13th, November……man that was the most difficult exam in my life!

You previously said you had many Govt&NFP MCQs, I believe I only had about 7 MCQs instead of the 20%. Many MCQs came out of left field in subjects that were not covered in my review course.

Unlike REG and AUD; all of the FAR testlet was super difficult; the SIMS were OK but I ran out of time on the 2nd SIM and missed 2 Tabs.

I'm not sure if I should just continue to study FAR again or wait for a miracle…..

“You previously said you had many Govt&NFP MCQs, I believe I only had about 7 MCQs instead of the 20%.”

I don't know, I probably had somewhere between 7-10, which seemed like a lot to me. But, like you, I also had quite a few left field questions on subjects I did not expect to be heavy-tested.

I'm still thinking I could go anywhere from 73-80 on this one, the second and third testlets were brutal. But who knows……I'm pretty certain I entirely bombed one sim back in REG, I didn't have a clue – and I ended up with a 90. The FAR sims I encountered were both much more fair than one of the sims they threw at me in REG.
