I have been studying FAR quite long time. I mainly focused on MCQ .. not SIMS…

then On the actual test, I was bombed by SIMs .. don’t even know if I did well on MCQ

I am really frustrated whole day today.. doing nothing just listening music I like (Nirvana..)

I may just pretend like I am frustrated because I am a chicken who don’t stand up and try again right away..

may be I am so tired due to exam yesterday ..

is there anyone who feel the same as me after test ?? is it just normal to feel like this ?

I am really late to study this exam in terms of my age but I cannot give it up for hundred and thousands of reason ……

when I was in school, my major was accounting but I changed it cuz I felt overwhelmed by the study… (yes, I am chicken) ..

I do not want to give it up twice ..

I probably don’t even have time to feel frustration or any other negative emotional things …

… I am just writing this to calm me down little bit after test ..

whoa….

Monikernc) I just mainly focused on sloving MCQ on wiley CPAexcel…

[monikernc]

luckily, you do not have long to wait for your score and will know on September 9th whether you passed.

i tested on dates with shorter turnaround for scores and kept doing light reviews in case i failed. once i saw my score i knew what i needed to do next.

let us know how you did. try not to worry. good luck!

I just too FAR today too — The best way I can describe how I feel is “shell shocked” – I have no idea what to expect with my score.

Now its the waiting game until the 9th — I'm going to pick up BEC for testing on 10/1.

I am just so happy the first test is over with!

Took Far on Monday and the Sims were by far the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. I'm a relatively fast test taker and had about two hours and fifteen minutes. Research Question was some obscure topic that took me nearly 25 minutes to find. Then spent the next 30 minuets trying to find a Sim that made any sense at all. Couldn't do it. All 6 of the non research sims were completely foreign to me and none asked for JE's which can give you clues where to start. Honestly not a single Sim I think I got >30%.

MC was farily good I thought. First testlet easy. 2nd incredibly hard and I couldn't really tell for the 3rd. Really wordy questions, but not much computation. All in all I was really pissed about the Sims. Could not figure out what they wanted and they were basically all dependent on the first fill in. Gonna take BEC on Sept. 1st, but I fully expect to be retaking far.

LOL! I feel you on the SIMS Arsenal — There was one SIM which I think we all should be able to do like how we spell our name — but the way it was presented was almost “Inside Out” — Or “Backwards” — I was like WTF?? LOL!

I could not tell the difficulty of the testlets — I did have some wordy problems…Many of the questions just came from such different angles..

I'm just praying I don't have to retake FAR —

Good luck on BEC tomorrow!!

Arsenal and I must have taken the same test. The SIMS were seriously evil, long and convoluted. My research was on a very obscure topic.

My MCQs were first challenging then ridiculously tough on testlet 2 & 3. There were a lot on fairly obscure topics. In the second and third testlets, I had very few questions on the topics CPAexcel had tons of practice questions. Most were out of the stuff towards the end of the topics that have 3 or 4 total questions.

On the positive, if a difficult exam really means I was doing well, that is good. On the negative, I am certain that I did not do well on the SIMS.

B Passed
A Passed
R Passed
