I doubt I got them right. I kinda started making things up because I was clueless :S The third testlet would have some easy questions and then others were really hard. There didn't seem to be a middle ground.

Working Hard, Remember ALL ratios. I actually had one ratio on my MC that wasn't included in my ratio list in my study material. But remember them isn't that hard. Just make some notecards and review them once a day. You can have them memorized in 2-3 days.

Thanx CouldntPassAgain for ur suggestion…i did memorize all the ratios y'day and i just came back from the exam today ….there wasnt even a single question on ratios….all i remember is JE….becoz thats the last thing i saw ……my Simulation had nothing but JE…depreciation and JE, bonds and JE; asset acquisition and more JE….GOD……i cudnt complete the second simulation..spend too much on understanding what they r asking for ….as i was running outof time,i was getting mixed up with the dates and numbers for bond premium/discount calculation….

i feel so bad becoz i had practiced the bonds really well…..i knew how to do it ..but dint have enough time to get that done…

I have no idea what happened on MCQ…i did a lot of guessing in many questions…

Anyways atleast its over now …

Can someone tell me when can we expect the scores?……..

Welcome to our gang! Nobody knows how they did on their test. Therefore, all we could do is WAIT!

BTW, how about the difficulty level of your testlet.

BEC - 82 Reg-87 Aud - 86 Far - 81 (THANX THE LORD)

Sounds like JE's are the name of the game this time around 🙁

I think Jeff predicted you're in the first wave if you took it my the 7th and sometimes they include exams taken on the 8th. You'll see your score before the end of the month if you're in wave 1. Otherwise it's a long wait till June!

[Anonymous]

Well about the level of difficulty it's difficult to tell coz some of the questions were really easy but there was too much information to go over before I cud actuallystart working on it ….. I guess for simulation the problem was that I was short of time …….in MCQ there were several Q's I had no clue about

There were 3-4 questions on FV measurement and I had no idea what was it was about I dint even see anything on becker on that

anyways I just want to forget abt it now an d PRAY…

Pursuit and Can't Take It – I had the same test on April 5th. I studied an additional 100+ hours for my retake and had done all hw questions 8+ times between the first time I took it and the second time I was very very disappointed

AUD 95 (3/5/10); BEC 83 (5/28/10); FAR 71, 72, 74, 82 (10/16/10); REG 65,80(11/23/10)
ALL DONE 🙂

*There should be a period between “time” and “I”…. the keyboard on my pc is not working and my macbook is being worked on, *sigh*

AUD 95 (3/5/10); BEC 83 (5/28/10); FAR 71, 72, 74, 82 (10/16/10); REG 65,80(11/23/10)
ALL DONE 🙂

Any news as to when scores should be released for wave 1?

[Anonymous]

I would say that scores would most likely be released the week of the 16th.

[FARbehind]

I am re-studying to sit for FAR on May 29 for the second time and I am going through the Becker material, lectures, questions and flashcards. I reached chapter 3. The thing is, I don't feel more comfortable with the material, it is almost like the first time. When you restudy do you reach a higher level of comfort at some point?

aud,bec,reg-passed
far-->75 Done!!!!!
ethics-100

[Magayon]

I have the same problem, too. Everytime I would go back to the very first few chapters it's always like I don't know the subject at all. But when I revisited the first few chapters, when I finished studying and restudying the whole wiley book, maybe I was able to retain 25% of the knowledge. But it just annoys me that I just couldn't retain all the important info. I would still commit the same mistakes at the MCQ's. Hay!!! I probably reanswered all the MCQ's at the wiley book for 3 or 4 times already. But still couldn't just remember all the important parts, the disclosures, the exceptions, etc… hayyyy!!!

FAR: 7/3(87)
BEC: 8/31(75)
AUD: 11/15(81)
REG: 8/31(83)
I'M DONE!!!!!

[AARON]

Better chance of scores being released the week of May 24th… best of luck everyone! Praying I am done!

? AUD - 87 (8/12/09)
? REG - 77 (1/15/10
? BEC - 77 (1/6/09 - Expired) / 79 (11/18/10)
? FAR - 75 (2/11/11)
