Going into the test center this morning, I felt that I had done everything I could in preparation for the exam. I scored 85 and 93 on my practice exams in Becker which gave me a little confidence boost before the test, but walking out of there I felt so frustrated and angry. I’ve heard that Becker doesn’t do the best job with Reg, but I felt so under-prepared for the simulations! One simulation was something I would expect from FAR, one research question I couldn’t figure out at all, and two of the simulations were on topics that Becker BARELY covered in the textbook.

The multiple choice were not great and the simulations (as you can probably tell) were very rough. Did anyone else have this experience? More importantly, did anyone have this experience and end up passing anyways?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated; I’m feeling so defeated and just hoping to pass!

I know the feeling. I studied religiously for REG using only Becker and felt like I had thouroughly prepared for the exam on test day (however, my practice exam scores were a little lower than yours–I scored a 74 and then an 83).

During the exam, I felt like many of the topics (both multiple choice and simulations) were random and I felt like I was guessing on almost everything. After I left the testing center, I was convinced I had failed and immediately started studying again for a retake in January.

You can only imagine my surprise when the scores were released two nights ago and I saw that I had passed with an 84!

As bad as it may have seemed, you can never be sure if you actually failed and based on how much preparation it appears that you put into studying, I'm sure you did fine!

FAR - 80
AUD - 92
BEC - 88
REG - 84

KO the test in 5 months even though I am a dummy!
