    I feel like I've seen this post before..

    I was 99% sure that I had failed REG.. passed with an 85. I felt awful about the MCQs and pretty badly about the SIMs, but ended up scoring stronger on the sims.

    FAR: 71, 77
    BEC: 70, 82
    AUD: 62, 78
    REG: 71, 68, 85

    are you sure you just werent mentally biased towards the ones you weren't sure on but in actually knew a lot more than what you didnt know? People tend to remember and exaggerate the ones they felt they did wrong but forget about the ones they know for sure

    BEC- 80
    REG- 68, 71, July

    lol you're funny. 🙂 No, I honestly had a horrible exam experience. I was tested heavily on just one subject, and felt like I guessed 50% of my answers on the MCQs. I could narrow down most of the questions to two answers, but then had to guess between them. I must have guessed mostly correct. The SIMs were awful, but I spent a ton of time using the research tab to find my answers. I think that's why I did so well on the SIMs compared to others.

    I felt like I failed every test, especially REG. The scoring model is so convoluted that I'm not sure it's possible to guess your score with any real accuracy. I know I bombed the REG sims.

    I left the test center in tears, almost hysterical. Got home and got a call from prometric that I FORGOT MY LICENSE THERE……..I didnt even get the survey at the end and was convinced somehow all of my (wrong) answers were lost. I have been absolutely DEVASTATED for the last 2 weeks and had already started studying again for round 4. I would have bet large amounts of money that my score was in the 60's.

    And somehow ended up with an 84. SMH.

    (and by the way I think thats the first time I ever got to say SMH HA HA HA)

    @goodluck,

    Advice for AUD: Memorize the reports that your study materials tell you to memorize.

    I was completely convinced I failed both REG & BEC, but I passed. Same as you with AUD, I was convinced I was going to open my score today for AUD and see an 85…scored stronger in two categories, but weaker in sims…which means I must have screwed the sims up something fierce. I had two research questions I know I got right too, so figured that would lift my sims up a little more. I must have put in the exact opposite answer for what they wanted on the other five.

    I should've done FAR first, the sims would've made a lot more sense for me for AUD.

    I can't get over the whole feel like the test was horrible = a pass, and think you did great = a fail. I hope I come out of FAR at the end of the month feeling like I got kicked in the teeth again…cuz that'll mean I'll pass 🙂

    BEC - 77 (exp. 2/23/12)
    REG - 75
    AUD - 74
    FAR - 11/29/11

    I left BEC thinking I either failed by a couple of points or passed by a couple of points, luckily I passed by a couple of points. However in Audit, I left the test feeling like I aced it. I started reading some peoples posts on here and saw how some felt great after an exam but failed and vice versa. I got my score on Thursday and got a 91. From now on I am just going to trust my instinct and not worry about the score until I get it.

    BEC - 78
    AUD - 91
    REG - 80
    FAR - Nov 26th 75 I'M DONE!!!

    I never walked out feeling good. I usually felt I was on the border. And for my first two sections (AUD and BEC), that actually was the case. For FAR, I got a lot of questions (or so it seemed) and two sims on a single topic I hadn't studied very well. The more I thought about it, the more I thought I'd fail. As it turns out, I ended up doing better on FAR than AUD and BEC!

    @Macc Grad, thats funny, me 2, i got stronger in 2 categories and weaker on sim. I think my attitude from now on is i fail and if i pass, thats great 🙂 i thought i would pass aud but filed, that really hurt me. i cried for like 2 days.

    I felt like I did horrible coming out of AUD but ended up passing with an 82. After BEC though, I thought I had definitely passed and ended up failing with a 73. Weird how that works out. I agree with @macc grad that doing FAR first would have helped a lot with the AUD sims.

    AUD - 82
    BEC - 73, 82
    FAR - 74, 79
    REG - 68
