So let me be the first to say that I appreciate all of the study help, info, and moral support in general that comes from everyone involved in this forum. This is an off topic post and the purpose is just some comic relief while enjoying another endless night of suffering through endless study materials. That being said, there are two things that just drive me nuts that I frequently encounter here!

First, when people say with absolute certainty that their testlets went med med hard…etc. It is impossible to tell this with certainty and one cannot accurately even identify which questions count and which ones do not. So please stop letting us know the difficulty of your tests with absolute certainty.

Second, when people say they prepared for over 200 hours and got blindsided by sims and had no idea what the sim was even referring to. I mean come on, 200 hours and you are getting asked about subjects you haven’t even at least heard of? What is the AICPA asking you about, how to split an atom? Or how to grow a tomato plant without water? I mean come on, just because you were not confident with your answer, please do not act like the exam sims contain topics that no one has ever even remotely heard of. Enough!

What drives you nuts?!?

Everybody knows there are pretest questions and sims….of course there is going to be something that wasn't covered in your review course. They tell you so! The good news is that it probably doesn't count 🙂

In all my test taking experiences, I've tried to disregard my perceptions of medium vs. hard testlets because simply they are my perceptions! I would think that on my successful audit score which ironically was far and away my best score that I would have noticed a jump, but on exam day I was unable to distinguish the difficulty level across all the testlets. I can't imagine that I would have scored in the 90's with medium-medium-medium+SIMS but who knows? And in fact, I never will!!! I think it brings unneeded stress on exam day to feel like your testlets aren't getting harder, ergo you must be doing poorly…I know I fell into that trap more than once! It's a total mind screw.
