How much time did it cost you?

Did it affect your exam in your opinion?

I also want to hear about this new problem. Didn't the AICPA do some testing and quality assurance before implementing the new exam?

FAR 88 - BEC 86 - AUD 90 - REG 85

The “lag” time is more like the screen goes blank for 5-10 seconds between the tabs in the simulation. I wouldn't say it cost me any time but it was very irritating. I would say it panicked me more than anything because I thought the computer crashed. It also made me not want to switch back and forth between tabs because I almost thought it might crash the computer….I still switched between the tabs anyways. It did affect me mentally because it disrupted me taking the exam with smooth transitions between the questions. I hope that makes sense.

REG-80, 77, 77
BEC-67, 68, 71, 67, 71, 74, 71, 74, 72, 77
FAR- 72, 65,67, 53, 75 (truth be known the 53 was with 4 hours of studying)
AUD-58, 62, 72, 74, 74, 75
took 5 years but I'm DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think that it cost me about 2 or 3 minutes total. I had a lag of about 1 minute prior to the testlet loading and then about 30-45 seconds between each tab. However, once the tabs were loaded once, you could move between them freely without any lag time.

If I hadn't read about it before the exam, I would have been completely freaked out – that's how slow it was. I would agree with keeptrying, it was more irritating than anything. I didn't look at the time and see whether or not that time was deducted, I would assume it was.
