I have a friend that says that the second testlet was easy. Does this mean that he didn't do well on the first one?

Just got done with my retake and that test was HARD! I studied an additional 110 hours for the retake. I'm a bit down at this point because I expected it to go more smoothly. I felt ALL my testlets were difficult. I do wonder, though, if I am comparing it to AUD where I recognized 90% of the questions from Becker? On this one, I recognized a handful, similar to the first time I took it. Made a 71 last time. Just hope this score isn't a complete embarrassment.

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 🙂

In my opinion, if you leave FAR and think it was too easy, thats a worse sign then leaving and thinking it was hard….

When I just go this 74, I felt like I could of passed because the Sims were the same exact from a retake in November. Ended up scoring stronger on Sims but failed.

CPA EXAM - Passed

alk88- I have been reading old posts and alot of the people that passed thought they had bombed it, so I am keeping that in mind. I just can not get over how bad I think it went. I was not expecting that at all 🙁 Maybe there will be a nice curve….maybe??

Now on to BEC because nothing I can do about FAR now, but wait…..

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 🙂

I'm with you Glogo… I need the same advice on Presentation. I scored low on that area as well and not really sure what that means to study more. I didn't study all weekend haha so TODAY is the day!! Hubby will be watching basketball and I will be spending the night with Becker. PARTY!

alk88 is right though. I got what I thought was an “easy” test and ended up with a 71. And the people I know who thought they got a horrible, hard test passed so keep up the hope.

When I walked out the test center for FAR, I thought I scored between 25-40. I only did 2 tabs on the first SIM and one tab on the second; for the written communication I wrote nonsense….The first 3 testlets were so difficult and I think I was guessing most of the time…

I got my score and passed with a 78 my first time….I started laughing….

I failed AUD a 2nd time thinking I had passed in the high 90s…

You just never know with these exams….

BEC=77, FAR=78, REG=73,74,80, AUD=70,69, 84 DONE!

[LSU_BR]

It makes me feel better to hear someone else (that passed) say all three of the mc sections were difficult. I hear alot about people that say 2-3 were hard but my first one was a beast too! It's all a blur and I can't even tell you what I think I did bad on, lol

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 🙂
