Hi Everyone,

I took REG today in Q3 and got the exact same simulation that I got when I took it in Q2 and it was in the last test-let. What are the chances this is a pretest? It wouldn’t make sense for them to give the same EXACT sim in both quarters…

I would think last time it was pretest and this time it will be counted as the pretest questions are there to assess the quality of the questions for future use when they are graded. I have never heard of exact sims being repeated other than research but I have heard similar questions maybe with different numbers being repeated.

I hope it was a SIM you did well on!

Nope, I messed it up..thats why I am asking. It seems very weird that they would use the same exact question the next quarter though.. I felt decent about all the other sims though..

I imagine it is not a pre-test SIM unfortunately. if it is being used in multiple Quarters I assume it is now part of the regular test bank and you somehow struck lightning by seeing it again.

Still a chance of passing if I did well on the MCQ and other sims as well as the research?

Absolutely! I filled in zeros for a full FAR SIM and I still passed. One SIM shouldn't make or break you if you performed well on the others and MCQ

Thats encouraging! I am just concerned that the new test being 50-50 will not be as forgiving but I think I did get partial points by filling in zeros for part of the sim lol
