    What is the best way to manage time? I am thinking about writing down what the expired time should be at the end of each testlet so I can make sure I am on track. The time stops between testlets if you want to take a break, right? HELP!

    FAR 7/13, REG 8/23

    I knew how much time per testlet on the MC I could give. I just noted start time for the testlet and end time based on the countdown clock. For the adaptive sections I was looking for the time to increase in the 2nd and 3rd testlet. For FAR I spent 14 and 17 minutes longer on the 2nd and 3rd testlet compared to my first. All in, I was still on target to have an hour per simulation. Time management really was only a factor for me in FAR. I was really concerned on BEC, but it ended up being a non-issue for me. REG was my second section and I watched it, but ended up with plenty of time there too.

    Keep time in your mind during your test, but don't let it consume you to where your ability to take the test is impaired by it.

    I think Dale said it best. Have a plan on how much time you will use for each testlet but do not let it control you. After failing AUD the first time due to weak multiple choice, I vowed to read every multiple choice question twice to ensure I did not missed any tricks. I did that for every exam and did not have a problem except for FAR. FAR was the only exam I had any issues with time.

    Big shot cpa is also correct. The time DOES NOT STOP during breaks. Once the exam is started the time runs continuously until the end.
