I went in having to move my test up 3 weeks because of scheduling problems…so I basically I went in feeling really good about chapters 1-3, not so good about 4, and ok with 5 (I used Becker)

The first teslet was pretty easy, I flew through it in about 40 mins..I doubt I missed more than 4 or 5 questions at most. I know I did pretty well because the 2nd teslet was MUCH MUCH harder (I hear you get a harder teslet if you do well, easier if you don’t). I spent about an hour and ten minutues on it. Definitely didn’t feel too good about it. I probably missed around 10 questions. Maybe more. The 3rd teslet was easier, but not as easy as the first. I probably missed 6-8.

I felt pretty good at that point because I thought that if I did pretty well on the sims I would pass. But then I got the sims and was dissapointed…they were crazy tough. I know I bombed them.

So all in all it looks like I’ll be retaking AUD. Oh well. I know I didn’t study enough…I feel like I can definitely improve my scores next test window. I’m gonna go ahead and study for FAR from now until July…and then probably retake AUD in August.

FAR - F (2011), 5/16
AUD - F(2011)

2nd attempt at this thing. Time to get serious.

I hate how the sims are worth so much. I feel like putting so much focus on a single question (each sim is worth about 5.7% of your grade!) makes luck a big factor. Getting a few sims on topics you're comfortable with verses getting a few on harder topics can decide whether you pass or not. I feel like I can study endlessly to prepare for the MC but when it comes to the sims I feel like there's a limit to what I can do to prepare.

I agree. This was my 2nd time taking Audit and I knew that information inside and out (used Becker). But once it came to the SIMS, I started having trouble. But you gotta remember with the grading, its not so clear cut as 5.7% of the grade. Each MCQ and SIM is weighted depending on its difficulty level and other criteria. So its impossible to try to figure out your grade on how you think you did on the SIMS.
