    Well after studying for about 3 months i finally gave it a chance.

    I honestly have no clue what to feel. As far as multiple choice questions i really couldn’t tell if my testlets were getting harder or easier. It seemed like each testlet had a bunch of easy and a bunch of hard questions. I dont get how you guys can determine oh its getting harder or easier…. To me some questions felt easy but then again thats because i enjoyed that topic and was very good at it so i really couldnt tell if that would be easy for someone else. Same thing with hard question i would say i was not too familiar with that topic so i considered it hard.

    Only thing i can say about MCQ’s is that i was certain i got about 50% of the MCQ correct , maybe 30% of the questions i was able to narrow down to 2 choices, and the other 20% i had no idea what it could be.

    As far as sims i am pretty sure i didnt get either of the question 100% but i am sure on all of them i got some partial credit. Research question i am sure i got right. One thing that sucks is that i didnt even think to use the research literature to try and answer some of the sims questions 100%. I pretty much just did all of the SIMS from my memory and i finished the exam 30 minutes before it expired. Rookie mistake … wont happen again.

    Overall i think there is a chance i might pass but i wouldnt bet on it. Lets just say that if i fail i wouldnt be surprised but if i passed i would definitely surprised. Oh well gonna take 4-5 days rest and then hit FAR hard.

    For those that took the exams and passed for MCQ’s what percentage of MCQs do you think you were sure about. Do you think i have a chance of passing based on what i said. Also if i took the exam today how can i find out when my score will be available… how do i even check for my score?

    My first exam was FAR, I finished in about an hour and a half and walked out thinking I'd either bombed the hell out of it or possibly passed by the slimmest of margins. Felt like I'd been hit by a freight train. Got a 75. Hope yours turns out as well:)

    FAR - 75
    AUD - 72; 87
    REG - 64; 74; 84
    BEC - 88

    Done!!

    Oh, and I was “sure” of maybe as much as precisely 0% of the mcq's, 100% guessed on almost every sim. I hate FAR.

    FAR - 75
    AUD - 72; 87
    REG - 64; 74; 84
    BEC - 88

    Done!!

    Its hard to believe you were sure of 0% of the questions… there must have been atleast one question where you were like ok this is it for sure.

    You'll probably get your score August 1st, unless you live in a non-NASBA state. This link is from Jeff's score release sticky where you can look up all the details:

    On AUD and FAR I felt like I knew maybe 75% of the questions. For SIMs, I put in some combo of answers I knew and educated guesses, maybe 50/50, but I filled everything in with something. Passed both quite nicely.

    I don't understand when people say here, “I was so sure I passed.” I didn't feel like I passed either one. I thought it was possible, but equally possible that I failed.

    AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
    FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
    REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
    BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)
