    For the people who did well to just say they did well instead of whining on this board for a whole month about how they failed and then score high 80’s or 90’s…

    To score in the 80’s you need to show a strong level of knowledge on the whole exam basically. In the 90’s you need to only literally get a few questions wrong…

    I know because I counted exactly(+- error adjustment) how many questions I got wrong on the multiple when I got 80 on BEC(12-14 wrong on the MC) and 85 on AUD(8-10 wrong on the MC). That is, I didn’t somehow have ”CRAZY” testlets and the ”OMG IM GONNA FAIL” feeling…

    All I’m saying is, there are some people who really struggle and work their butts off to pass, and your whining for months about how you thought you were gonna fail only to score 99 really doesn’t help. Lots of people come here for comfort and support. I have nothing but love and respect for so many members on here, but there’s quite a few of you whiners and attention toots that I can’t stand. You know yourselves well so I won’t say any names. Funny thing is I knew a lot of people like you back in highschool (which was only a few years ago so my memory is still intact) and you were the kind of people who had no friends(or ironically, the highest number of fake friends). Just say you did well, and score well, and people would have nothing but well wishes for you.

    Not trying to stir any trouble Jeff, just being real.

    @ Mrs 300 I know what you mean, that's exactly how I felt. I wasn't even attacking anyone in my post but the ones who got all defensive are the ones who do it the most. When you score in the 90's. You KNOW WHY you choose your answers. You don't just CHOOSE an answer for the heck of it unless you're guessing. That's why I started counting. I wanted to test my theory and surely I was right. If you're scoring 90+ you're literally getting <5 mistakes on all of the MC. When you get less than 5 mistakes you are extremely confident in every single topic. All I was asking for is people to stop crying about how they think they failed until they actually get the grade. When you get a 99 and complain, think of how the person who got a 74 is feeling when they stayed quiet while you were complaining for a month. That's all I was saying.

    Then you have people like nearly_there who love flexing their internet muscles, who aren't even worthy of anything more than a hiya.

    You made me smile man.

    Everybody is so sensitive these days. I know this testing window is almost over and you're all stressed out, but chill out, life is good. Have you guys considered taking a N… nevermind, I was attacked for using this term too much. =/

    I had “Why is it so hard” mixed up with “You Must Read”

    Does anyone here remember the guy “Wang” who literally bitched for a couple weeks about failing and then got his score and it was a 99? This was probably 2-3 months ago now. That was pretty funny.

    My first exam, FAR, I really didnt know what to expect. It was hard, but I thought I must have done better than at least 50% of the people taking the exam. I got an 87. From there, I took AUD. When I left AUD, I was a bit uneasy. I knew I didnt do great and I was hoping for a passing score. I got a 76. Then I took REG and then BEC. When I left the exams, I knew I had passed both. I got an 85 and an 86.

    After taking an exam or two, you really should have a good sense of where you will come out.

    “@ Cashmoney , it is quite interesting to see you ‘lol' at what I had to say. You of all people should know exactly what I was saying. I mean, surely you felt the difference in your performance when you walked out of the 91 AUD and the 74/73, and yet I didn't see you on here crying about how you failed.”

    What made me ‘lol' was the post sounded like whining about the whiners.

    Although, I have noticed posts like that occurring, it's never really bothered me much. I actually didn't notice a difference in my performance from the three times I took AUD. The MCQ's & TBS's were about the same difficulty throughout my three tries. The only thing that changed was adding Ninja Notes to my study schedule.

    I can understand how many people who did well think they failed because the exam is adaptive and if you do well, the difficulty ramps up. But as Mrs. 300 said, it is frustrating when somebody that fails sees the “whiners” pass with high scores. I've been on that end taking FAR & BEC twice with my second attempt at REG August 30th. For me, it is not a matter of IF I pass the exam, but WHEN I pass. Seeing their high scores just adds to my motivation to beat them…and not whine 🙂

    @Mr Mini – YES! I remember, I was also wondering if anyone remembered, I just forgot what his user name. Wasn't it something like Wangxxx ? That dude swore on his life he'd failed, had such a horrible experience, was borderline suicide…then gets a 99! That was classic!

    Thank you for your honesty Mini. Your words back in January were the ones that woke me up and got me consecutive passes till now.

    Of course I remember Wang. He was the first member in the ”I can't stand your face” list.
