    Excellent @Lentil ,somehow I was expecting your report exactly the way you did.Excellent , excellent excellent.I am deep into Blueprint and wanted a confirmation . So the time management was not an issue.I am myself planing the timing like that.So you finished the testlet as per your budgeted time ? without violation , how was the difficulty level of mCQ and SIM compared to Q2 or Q3 ?

    @ana Thanks! Good luck tomorrow!

    @Wanna

    I don't think the difficulty is any different than Q3. I think studying the right material and at the right level of understanding makes the biggest difference. For example, I don't recall governmental accounting being tested at the simulation level per the blueprints. In my previous study attempts, I studied governmental at an analysis level which was a waste of time.

    @Ana , I am surprised that just like you I was praying for Lentil all day and was checking this thread constantly after 4.30. LOL ,I just heard what I wanted to hear.It seems we will not blame Lentil.LOL
    Thank you Lentil , God bless you .If I pass it will be due to you.One last question did you feel SIM was from Analysis or Application too ? Second,you prepared SIM from Ninja or Becker's ?

    @Lentil ,that's the main challenge with FAR , you spend whole time preparing Govt wide FS ,GL ,Pension GL ,Consolidation inter co ,CAR IN BIG and you don't see even MCQ on those topics .
    Lentil again fill in as much you can without violation.Right now I am preparing MCQ from Ninja and SIM from Becker's.Do you like food Lentil or just random.Another question ,if you go by the blueprint Understanding and Application column ,there shouldn't be any surprise in mCQ just like analysis for SIM?

    @Wanna Thank you for your prayers!

    I prepared using Ninja MCQ primarily and supplemented with Wiley MCQ. I used Becker sims for the blueprints.

    You should not see a simulation for a topic that is tested only at up to the application level.

    @wanna how do you know me so well? so creepy lol!!! you def called me out and you're on the money. I'm gonna be f-ing pissed if carinbig isn't there and some other random topic that's going to be tested in a sim at an expert level is. I keep telling myself to slow down during the exam tomorrow and read every word, twice if I need to. It's just so not me, I'm fast at everything I do and up until now has worked really well for me. Like last time my husband is taking the day off, will be driving me and hanging out at a brewery until I'm done. I fear that the wait for the score in dec is going to be just as treacherous.

    Accountants are known as bean counters, right? Well, I'm Indian and we eat more foods with lentils than beans. This was my inspiration behind the screen name.

    @Ana

    Speed is also an issue for me if I feel like I know what I am doing. Following my wife's advice, I used extra time to recheck answers. It definitely helped me catch mistakes that I made due to speed today.

    @wanna

    If something is tested at an remembering and understanding level, you just have to understand and remember it. If is tested at an application level, you have to know how it works and use it. At an analysis level, you have to be able to tear it apart and build it back together.
