REG scores are supposed to come sometime next week and I am definitely not waiting for good news:( I thought I did decently on the MC, but when I got to the simulations I knew how to do only 2 of them. The other problems were on obscure topics that I don’t even remeber seeing anywhere in the book…I’ve been studying so much that I don’t even know what/how to study anymore!!!

@gotta – I'll be sure to report back in the morning. No taxes for me, I'm a business valuation expert.

When I failed with the 74, my next test was way more difficult with areas that for the most part, I had seen before, but the questions were just really hard. And yes, I was averaging about 20 minutes per testlet. If I didn't know a questions right away, I would skip it. Easy to medium questions I was answering in about 20 seconds. I did study for 2 straight months and got an 86, so you may not need to go to the extreme as I did, though I would at least leave 1.5 hours for the sims and be prepared to use research!!!!

@regulation- I was hoping you'd post and let us know how you did. I'm sure it would be helpful to others if you would so it will give us an idea of how much the sims are worth and whether one can still pass after leaving Sims blank.

i'm sorry to say it is extremely unlikely you will pass. i found my sims fairly easy and did all of them with time to spare. i still had an 80.

i couldn't figure out 1 sim in audit and got a 75.

Bec 4/11/11 91
Aud 7/11/11 75
Reg 8/31/11 80
Far 5/24/11 86

everyone's experience is different. You might not have gotten a lot of difficult MCQ questions and thus needed every point from the sims to pass

BEC- 80
REG- 68, 71, July
AUD- 61 , 84
FAR- -- 75 🙂
