    Just got home from Prometric. My start time was 8am but I got there at 7:15 and started at 7:20. First testlet I felt great about, 2nd definitely got harder and I had no idea what they were even asking in that testlet. I think I bombed it. 3rd testlet felt better than #2 and sims were ok. No complaints on those since they were pretty straightforward. I hope I did enough to pass but I will have to wait 11 days to find out. If not, then I am ok with having to retake it since my first pass doesn't expire until April 2018 so I have plenty of time but I just want to be DONE!!!

    @Cruzer – Bond issue costs reduce the proceeds on the bond.

    I'm done… Spent about an hour on testlet 1, and testlet 2 had paragraphs all over the place. One and two asked the same questions over and over, if it wasn't govt/NFP, it was IFRS. Testlet 3 had a fair blend of everything. Testlet one was like your average course, testlet 2 was Gleim, and Testlet 3 was Ninja.

    I hit the sims with an hour 15 left and I feel uneasy about them. Started off with a sim on this window's favorite topic. Then I had to manually calculate way too many things. The entry descriptions were probably right, but not the numbers. I feel like I got the research right. I straight guessed on my last one (pop-ups) due to the time constraints. Ran out of time in the end. I'm pretty sure that I'll be back next quarter 😡

    I'm just getting back, too. I definitely had a harder set of MCQ for the second testlet and the third felt medium. I used all four hours, that's with two bathroom breaks. I finished filling in blanks without reviewing my answers on the Sims with just 1:45 left. Don't feel great.

    I'm still over here stressin over the sims. I do think I can get a 50% minimum on them, and thats before they throw one out. That still gives me a chance, right?

    honestly Mtaylo I have ceased trying to figure out how these things are graded– I mean there are stories all over the place of people who left three or four sims completely blank and went on to pass…. so yeah I'd say you still have a chance…

    Got through MCQs in 90 minutes. I couldn't tell
    If the test lets got harder or not, not feeling great about it.I didn't have many calculation questions. AL was easy to find, had two “easy”
    SIMs, one moderate, one DRS and two that kicked my ass. One of those *had* to be a pre-test…right?

    Geez!!! Was I the only one who got more than 75% of MCQs in the form of calculations!??? First was decent but the 2nd and the 3rd were all calcs and I spent more than 2 min on some and ran out of time to finish SIMs.

    When I got to my 3rd testlet and I ran through the tabs I wanted to scream, “Are you effin' kidding me!!?” I think I had 5-7 verbal questions and the rest were calculations.

    AUD 7/6/16 Passed
    BEC 9/3/16
    FAR TBD
    REG TBD
