Testlet difficulty- my definition of medium/hard vs. yours

    I just took REG today and I’ve read on numerous other posts where people say their testlet has gotten noticeably harder or easier. So my question is what is it that gets more “difficult”? Length of question? Number of steps involved to compute the answer? Having to recall from a list (ex: having to recall which defenses are personal vs real)? I ask bc obviously a persons definition of difficulty will vary based on these factors as well as capacity and perception (which rooted in differing biases). Without being too revealing, I had about 10 questions per testlet that were about 2-3 sentences(50-100 words), but other than that I got several seemingly easy 1-2 liners.

    I also ask bc I’m somewhat nervous that I felt pretty good about the mcq (sad i know as this not how it went for me in school). Per this forum, if you feel like you did well you didn’t and vice versa. Thus I’m worried.

    REG 5/27/11 86 1st attempt [CPA excel questions, Yaeger Audio, Wiley book]
    FAR 8/04/11 90 1st attempt [used CPA excel as primary, Yaeger Audio, and Wiley book]
    AUD 10/01/11 90 1st attempt [used CPA excel with Wiley as supplement]
    BEC 11/29/11 84 1st attempt [using Wiley with CPA excel as MCQ supplement]

    DONE
