    took FAR today..my last part needed to be done with this misery of studying and test taking…..it was terrible.. usually multiple choice is my strong point and sims are tough for me…this time even mcq’s were real bad..i feel like they were so different and much more complex then the mcq’s i studied for last 2 months. sims were tough also, but probably no harder then the other exam sections. damn research i could not find! i went back to it at the end and i think i may have found the paragraph they were looking for (i hope cause ill need every point)

    hopefully my worst sim was pre-test (whichever my worst was)

    and hopefully some of the mcq’s that i completely randomly guessed on were pre-tests, or else im screwed…..there were a few questions that i just picked C at random cause i could not come up with an answer from my calculations that matched one of the answers…

    so..pretty bad morning for me…

    hoping for a big miracle.

    im assuming firday the 14th scores????

    AUD - 2/27/12 - 76
    REG - 5/31/12 - 78
    BEC - 8/31/12 - 77
    FAR - 12/6/12 - 76

    Agreed. I just took it at 9am. I did not expect the multiple choice to be as hard as they were. The concepts were all faimilar but the way they phrased each question was totally different from anything I have ever seen. I also got a lot of governmental and NFP questions. My SIMS also sucked and were worded totally different from anything I have ever seen in Becker SIMS.

    I got a 64 on the first practice exam and then a 74 on the second, im hoping that what people say about doing better on the actual exam is true.

    i feel like a did terrible…i agree with the phrasing of the MCQ's being so different…lets cross our fingers and hope we did better then we think….those pre-tests could work out for us… im anxious to get the score so i know if i need to start studying again. might switch up the study materials if i do so i dont study the same questions. maybe try rogers or something like that

    Just got out of my test as well.

    Last time I took it a couple months ago I received a 74. This time it felt a bit harder, mostly the SIMS. The multiple choice was one I could mostly figure out save a few.

    The SIMS were surprisingly annoying as a matter of fact. They were concepts I generally understood but there were details that kept throwing me off and second guessing.

    Hope the score release from December tests come soon, don't think I can handle taking FAR again.

    REG - 68 | 71 | 88 | 86
    FAR - 72 | 74 | 79
    AUD - 66 | 70 | 77
    BEC - 62 | 74 | 80

    Guess that means I'm a soon-to-be CPA!
