    Haven't seen anyone mention Govt/NFP. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

    I didn't get any gov or NFP. Maybe like 3 mcq. I spend the last 3 days hitting those hard based on feedback from previous test takers haha.

    @wannafree that bad ehh? Give us the play-by-play. The only thing you can tell them is that you gave them your best effort. This new test sucks

    @mtaylo24 Ah yes, I think we had that same sim. I'm 100% certain that I didn't get 100% on that one, even though I managed to get the numbers to balance out in the end. Hopefully I got 80-70% right on that one. That seems more like a sim you'll find on Audit then on FAR IMO.

    @itsjonathon @CPAIN2K17 I had this batch of SIMS as well. Have no clue which one was pretest because they were all relevant to topics we studied hard. Actually feel like research question might have been since it was on such a weird topic. Fingers crossed till August!

    I left about 2 blank in the first, and 5 rows on the second part. There were like 30 blank spots on that one.

    @beantown yea, I remember there being quite a few blanks on that sim. If I remember right I only filled in 2-3 lines on the second part the rest were blank.

    FOr sure had to use the literature for the entry on stock compensation. Not an entry I particularly practiced, especially since ninja had like 7 questions on that topic. I ended up getting 3 questions on stock compensation (2 MCQ's 1 SIM)

    NFP/GOVT-probably got about 15 total questions, including 3 in a row at one point in the second testlet

    Bonds/Leases/Pensions/Investments – total 4 questions, if that….

    1testlet : Initially it was good but latter some MCQ ( around 8-9 ) which I think took the time and it was 1.20 Hours.Still maintained my composure.
    2nd Testlet : It was tough and except 5-7 questions all were calculations.
    Skipped 4 MCQ when 1.30 Minutes was left.I was solving the questions as fast as I could but it need Usain Bolt.
    3rd testlet : I was good but too much time consuming.I wanted to skip but then I was making good progress so continued.( I feel 80% rigght ).Now I had 38 minutes left and I took break.I knew I am out still was not panicking.
    4th Testlet : Research question : Most likely I found it took 10 minutes to read the stuff.then 2 DRS and so many documents.Noway it was possible to read all the documents ,one was related to disclosure and I used all my knowledge ( regardless of facts ) and filled all.
    3rd DRS again ,tried and selected without reading documents as it was too many.
    5th Tetslet : Cash flow – filled zeros.
    One question non exchange :simplest ,passed JE on wrong table where depreciation JE should have been typed but when I wanted to correct it time was up.
    So far when I failed in other paper I could admit ok I should read more ,do this do that etc ,today I don't know what else I could have done or what else I can do to improve.
    I can't run like Usain Bolt or CPAIN2k17 .
    Frustrated.
