    @Ninja, don't worry too much, you may do better than you think you did plus am not as sure as Nick. I have a 50/50 chance of passing or failing so you are not alone. Am equally unsure of how I will perform.

    To clarify, I felt good with the MCQ, similar to my REG experience. SIMs weren't fun.

    Good morning, Ninjas!

    Of course, didn't sleep well last night – formulas running through my brain like crazy! coco1986, I feel the same, like no matter how much I study, I still don't know it all. I didn't feel this way on the other 3 tests. Hoping what I've done will be enough!

    Good luck to everyone today and tomorrow!! Hopefully NONE of us have to click on the Q1 2015 (gross, right?) link and study this section again!

    Each of you are in my prayers and thoughts – be confident and let's slay this beast!

    A - 75
    B - 78 God is good.
    F - 77 Answered prayers.
    R - 84! Done!!

    Paperwork sent - waiting for license!!
    Still on a cloud and in shock. Through God, all things will happen.

    That was absolutely horrible

    I had 6 SIMS that were very confusing, each requiring either journal entries or to fill in gigantic columns worth of numbers. Most of which I wasn't even sure what they were asking for either.

    MC probably wasn't that good either. There were many very little things in the Becker book that I had questions on that unless I read the book in depth 10 times I'd have never gotten right. I doubt the questions got harder because they all felt similar, I just didn't know a good chunk of the answers. Gotta get prepared to do it again because there's no way I passed

    Took it today too.

    MCQ wasnt too bad. First testlet was incredibly easy. Only flagged 3 and even those I think I got right, I just wasn't 100% sure.

    2nd and 3rd testlets were definitely harder but I think I did ok.

    SIMS were tough. Lots of JEs. Some of them it was tough to decide what it was asking. Maybe I was just overthinking it. I dk, guess we'll see Dec 9th. Good luck to you guys.

    MC's felt good about, think I went medium-hard-hard.

    SIM's were so-so, a lot of times I wasn't really sure what they were asking for and similar experience to everyone else that replied above.

    Question on research SIM: if it is only asking for the section, would I be correct in leaving the paragraph blank? I have looked in the forums and no definitive answer.

    So a lot of us got straightforward conceptual MCQ?

    _nick_ I believe so. There were a handful of tricky ones in my opinion, a word or 2 changed my answer several times.

    This is good news. Means our tests were of the same origin in my opinion.

    I hate speculating on this prior to score release day.

    My friend, who is nothing short of brilliant, said her FAR Sims were horrendous in Q2 window.
