    I took exam on 11-30, my 3 try. I am wondering if there is partial credit for research question. I am not sure if i got it right because the question was a little bit confusing, both of them seemed to be correct. Thanks !

    AUD 87(01/26/2011)
    REG 77(07/09/2011)

    I don't think so. The research question from what I've been told is worth the least points out of all the sims and is either all or nothing.

    AUD - 85
    FAR - 78 (lol@ FAR Sims)
    REG - 85
    BEC - August

    Really? I wish I had known that! I thought the research question has an equal chance of score…or all the TBS's are equally scored. Can we find that info anywhere?

    I don't know for sure, but I do know that on my Becker review sims, there was more than one right answer for a couple of them. I doubt that Becker would do that if the test NEVER does.

    I also expect that every answer in the sims is weighted just like the MCQ's are – based on the number of candidates that get the answer correct. This would indicate that hard research Q's are worth more than easy ones. I seriously doubt that there's an overall uniform approach to point values on the sims.

    REG: 90, 8/27/11
    AUD: 91, 11/30/11
    BEC: 92, 10/6/12
    FAR: 91,11/3/12 DONE!!! PTL!!!

    Long document about the scoring process. Basic takeaway, on MC's different questions have different point values based on difficulty and other variables. I would expect the same on the simulations as well considering some have just a few lines and can be finished shortly while others take over 10 minutes and are convoluted. I think it's safe to say they're weighted differently, it would seem foolish if they were all worth the same (just my guess, anyway).
