    I just took BEC yesterday and my testlets went like this

    Testlet 1-Medium/Hard

    Testlet 2-Extremely Hard (felt like i was taking a Becker practice test again)

    Testlet 3- Really easy, there was only a few questions i was unsure of

    Is this a sign that i did horrible on testlet 2 and failed? Has anyone had a really easy testlet and they passed?

    Nope. It might have just been easy b/c you knew the material 🙂

    -----------------------------
    BEC - 77, 03/2015 (first try)
    FAR - 79, 05/2015 (second try)
    REG - 83, 12/2015 (first try)
    AUD - 84, 03/2015 (first try)

    I got 99 problems but the CPA ain't one.

    I just had the same experience in Audit a couple days ago. Medium, Hard, EASY. I nailed the easy testlet though. I at least got the questions I didn't know down to two choices in my Hard testlet, so I couldn't have done that bad and I was still given an easier version next. Remember that there are only Medium and Hard question sets, there's not an actual “easy” version. It also wouldn't make logical sense for them to give you an “easy” testlet when you already proved you can go from Medium to Hard after section 1. The harder conceptual questions in my test were earlier on and I was able to breeze through the last set. Maybe they just front-loaded the harder concepts and the last set were either you know it or you don't?

    That's a lot of rambling, but gives you another perspective from someone who had the same experience.

    I took audit yesterday. First testlet was medium/easy as expected. I think I did well on it. Second testlet got much more difficult. MC answered got wordier and trickier language. Over all content was more detailed than first testlet. The third testlet was about the same level as the second. If not harder. Definitely had to guess on a couple though I was able to narrow down to two.

    SIMs were awesome IMO. I got a good draw. Big shoutout to Wiley. I got one SIM that was exactly word for word one of the practice sims in Wiley. The others weren't bad at all except for one that took some deductive reasoning. But in my experience one meh SIM is pretty damn good. I'm usually half and half on SIMs.

    I hope I did well. Judging by the increase in difficulty and it not reverting back to east at any point makes me feel good.

    F AR - 76
    B EC - 82
    A UD - 77 (lost credit)/Retake 2/25
    R EG - 80

    I wouldn't be worried if I were you. My experience was similar. I don't remember details, but by the time I got to my last testlet, I seriously thought to myself “really? You're asking me this..sweet..time to wrack up some points…” If you really know the material, your perception of what is easy vs hard is going to differ from someone who may not know the material as well. I would go more by having a harder 2nd testlet than your perception of the 3rd one.

    BEC - 88 8/29/15
    REG - 82 11/14/15
    AUD - 83 1/8/16
    FAR - 80 2/29/16

    There is no such thing as easy testlet, but only medium and hard. You can get 3 medium and still pass, but dont expect anything higher than a 79.

    FAR= 72-84
    Audit= 73-82
    BEC= 74-75
    Reg=77
