    I thought I well prepared, because everybody is talking about Becker’s final exam is much harder than the actual exam. So I had average 80 on Becker’s Final exam, 90s in all Becker other questions, however, I came out feel like I won’t even have a remote chance to pass. It is soooo… tricky and confusing!

    The MC #1 was very hard, including some questions I didn’t even know what it was talking about; then it got easier. I’m not sure is it because I did really bad on the first one.

    The Sim. was a real beast. People who haven’t taken AUD perhaps should consider start with FAR. And what makes it worse is you don’t even get a chance to guess, because you have to manually type in the amount. Besides, it was so confusing the way they ask you. I wasted so much time on trying to figure out what exactly they wanted me to do.

    I had almost 100% correct rate on the research based on both Becker and Wiley’s test bank, yet, I was totally lost on the real thing. Those guys really spent some time trying to trick you. Horrible!

    I took FAR today too. I know what you mean about the MCQ's and not sure what they are asking for. The Becker Final Exam questions seemed like they were talking nonsense! I kept getting 60's and 70's on them. However, the actual exam didn't too bad. My test seemed to prove true that Becker Q's are harder. There were only a few that I had read several times. I had 2 research simulations. I do know on one simulation I got part of it wrong. Do we get partial credit on sims? I hope so!!!! I'm not going to worry about it anymore because studied till I couldn't anymore. I'm just praying I got my 75. I'm going to start viewing the videos for AUD next week before the class starts Oct 17. Best scores for all of us!

    FAR - 63, 79
    AUD - 83!
    REG - 37, 79
    BEC - 70, 79

    @Twest – I took FAR today too and I am surprised to say that I didn't think it was all that bad either. I finished an hour early. That makes me nervous though. I also had 2 research questions. Let's keep our fingers crossed.

    AUD | 85
    REG | 77
    FAR | 76
    BEC | 83

    ETH | 93

    I'm starting to think it's geared towards money. LOL. Each exam is costly. It's in their best interest if we retake numerous times. Great way to profit.

    AUD - Passed:)
    FAR - Passed:)
    REG - Retake TBD
    BEC - Missed by 3 points Retake TBD

    Peeker, if it makes you feel ANY better at all, its been my experience that the exams I walk out of thinking they weren't so tough were the ones I failed. The ones I walked out of thinking were awful, were the ones I passed. Hopefully your experience is the same!

    FAR- 77
    AUD -49, 71, 84
    REG -56,75!
    BEC -75

    Massachusetts CPA (non reporting) since 3/12.
