    I am kind of confused and have no idea how it went. I felt like the MC in all three testlets were a big joke.. There were some very basic questions, not very many hard ones. The sims were also not that hard. I know for sure I did 3 of them 100% right. On top of the test being easy, I was done an hour early! I literally walked out laughing because I couldnt believe that all this anticipation lead up to this. Am I crazy? Did anyone have all the testlets easy and even the sims in medium difficulty? Do I even have a chance at passing as it seems not right?

    Sounds exactly like my experience. I definitely felt the testlets getting harder, and each one took longer than the one before it, but they were all still manageable (maybe 2 MCQ on the 3rd testlet that I wasn't 100% sure on). I was also 100% on 4 of the sims and the other 3 i still felt pretty confident. Left with 30 minutes to spare. Let's hope REG is as easy.

    Thanks for the encouragement 🙂

    @CashEquivalents – I felt like it was all easy – I couldn't really tell that anyhting got harder at all – maybe second one had a little more calculating to do but that's it…

    sounds like you did great… I felt that way with FAR for my first test like is this real? But it's hard to gauge because it's your first test and you don't really know if you should feel like you passed or not, but I bet you absolutely passed! Congrats;)

    I took FAR yesterday and my experience with the MC was much different than everyones! The majority of the questions were easy but I was tested fairly heavily on IFRS. And they were calculations I was unfamiliar with…I know the easy differences – such as component depreciation, impairment testing, etc. but I hadn't a clue on the IFRS differences I was tested on so I answered using GAAP hoping there isn't a difference! I didn't have one IFRS theory question which I could've gotten! On the sims I know I got the research tab but I'm really familiar with the codification, I used my free access to the actual codification every time I practiced a Becker or Wiley sim- took me less than two minutes! However, the other sims were AWFUL!!!!! So I'll be sitting in the beginning of April- I'm going to start reviewing on Monday so I don't forget any of the info I know.
