@NinjaSlayer overall I don't really know how I felt about it, but I haven't felt particularly good about any of them after walking out of the test center.
The first MCQ section, I kinda felt like it was a joke — they were so easy. I maybe had like 3-4 I wasn't very confident about, which is way below prior tests. The second section was much more difficult, but not anything crazy. I felt pretty good about most of them, but had to guess on a few.
The one thing I will say is, I really don't like how the SIMS are split up into 3 different testlets. It doesn't allow for the same amount of flexibility as before, when you could do the SIMS you felt good about and save the other ones for last. For the first two sections, I felt ok on some of the SIMS, and some of them were pretty weird and ambiguous. Normally I would have spent more time, but maybe it was better I wasn't able to second guess myself. Who knows.
I ended up finishing with almost an hour left on the clock, even after reviewing my final testlet. This is where the time management probably screwed me up, I didn't want to run out of time so I probably went too quickly through the first two SIM sections.
Overall, I feel better than I did coming out of FAR and worse than both BEC and REG, but that might not mean anything at all.
