    Wow what a crappy experience. I went through the first 3 testlets no problem (got at least 85% of multiple choice right) and then arrived at the simulations with an hour and a half remaining. I used the entire hour and a half and couldnt finish so I just guessed on 3 whole ones real quick. I did the research one first and it took me almost 20 minutes. Then I misread the directions on the first 2 so had to do those ones twice. I feel pretty confident that I got 4 of the 7 right (90% average and including the research one) however i feel like i got about 25% average on the last 3 that I had to guess. I had so much additional information that becker didnt prepare me for in their practice simulations which overwelmed me and stole most of my spare time away. I hope one of the ones I guessed was a pretest. Does anyone know if all the simulations, excluding the pretest one, are of equal value?

    Well, I think you have a good shot of scoring above 75! Good luck, score release is June 21? I take my FAR exam 6/8.

    @Robby – I forgot yesterday was still May! They extended the testing window 10 days for all quarters in 2016 because of the exam changes.

    Far is my nightmare and It takes me a year to pass it. It's annoying but you seems do have a good shot on the exam. Good luck for all of us.

    I took FAR last week and had nightmarish experience. I have no hope of passing and just waiting for June 8 for the result.
    @ OP What I have read on AICPA website for scoring is they take correct/incorrect answers from MCQ and TBS, map it with the some MCQ/TBS scale and then take aggregate score to determine final score between 0-99. But I guess no way of really telling how they actually does it. If you are confident about getting 85% of your MCQ right I don't think TBS will need much weigh in your scoring. Good luck and I am sure you nailed it.

    Wow thank you everyone for the support because it truly means alot. I hope all of you have success throughout your CPA career. @Dee defintly yes because it has like 10 short but important topics but if you cant study it all I would just make sure you know partner additions and withdrawls. Also defintly study the IFRS vs GAAP at the end of ch 10.. I didnt study that and I wish I did.
