Hello ninjas,

Took REG today. Adrenaline is a trip, isn’t it? Much harder to deal with than the studying or even than the test. So many posts on this board made it sound like the most difficult thing in the world, which amped up the anxiety level. The nerves weren’t nearly as high as they were for the first exam, FAR, a month ago. The exam today wasn’t too bad. The document review sims were a pleasure. As opposed to the majority of the posters here, the extra documents are not too many and the questions are pretty straightforward. Not many tricks, but straight-up concepts. The research question wasn’t too bad, but you never know if you got it right or if it was in a different section. Finished the MCQ testlets in one hour leaving three hours for the SIMS. Finished the SIMS with ten minutes left. Certainly missed a few as I came home and searched the book for questions I remembered that was unsure about. If I didn’t pass, then it was because of stupid little mistakes, questions I was wishy-washy on and got down to a 50/50 guess and made the wrong guess. Also concerned because the second testlet didn’t seem harder than the first.

@cpApex Predator-I never feel that my testlets get harder, and I passed two sections, if that's any consolation, but it sounds like you just knew your stuff!

Completely agree with apex. If you think the reg exam you took was easy, you most probably passed. Especially with this new exam, you either know the material or you dont; there aren't many trick questions. And I really did like the sims, they favor ppl with tax experience, but are not too difficult as long as you give yourself enough time.

I didn't feel like my testlets got harder for my FAR and REG exams but I did fine. From the sound of your post I think you no doubt passed. Pretty much how I felt coming of my REG exam and I know I botched a couple parts on my SIMs.

Thank you all for your positive feedback. That makes me feel better. Can't wait until the 19th!
