    Was just curious how your Gleim CPA Practice scores related to your actual scores?

    On my Gleim exam rehearsal for FAR I got a 62, then got a 76 on the actual exam. I didn't do the rehearsal for REG.

    Battling these exams with no accounting experience!

    FAR 76-4/16
    REG 64-6/16, 78-7/16
    AUD 65-9/16, 68-10/16, 77-2/17
    BEC 78-11/16

    DONE!!!!!

    FAR: 76 (4/2/2016)
    REG: 64 (6/10/2016); 78 (7/12/16)
    AUD: (9/2/2016)
    BEC: (10/3/2016)

    I didn't have the exam rehearsal for AUD, so I can't give you any comparison there, but for the other two:

    FAR: Exam Rehearsal – 64.09; Actual – 88

    REG: Exam Rehearsal – 59.79; Actual – 89

    I probably did about 500 questions in Test Prep after both of the exam rehearsals for those two exams. Gleim is stupid hard!

    AUD - 95
    BEC - 90
    FAR - 88
    REG - 89

    REG: 89 (06/2016)
    BEC: 90 (07/2016)
    Ethics: 93

    I'm never studying for anything ever again!

    Thank you for the replies. I scored in the high 60's for FAR and wondered if I was even ready to take the test.

    AUD:

    Gleim:
    MCQ Testlets Score: 66.67
    Simulation Testlet Score: 68.57

    FAR was absolutely brutal mentally for me. I am facing similar hardship dealing with REG. Feels like I will never understand it well enough to pass and I can't imagine anyone passing this exam.

    FAR 77 - June 2016
    REG 66, 82 (With Ninja MCQ + Ninja Plus lectures added to Gleim primary study) - September/October 2016

    AUD: 85 (3/8/16)
    FAR: 77 (6/7/16)
    BEC: ??? (9/7/16)

    Congrats, @gigabyte2001! I used Ninja 10 point combo on over 6000 questions, 89% adaptive learning; trending a 80, average a 71, got a 71 on my Exam Rehearsal; curious how the exam goes tomorrow. I was in the 80's on MCQ's; after talking to a personal counselor, I remembered how I used to practice simulations through Gleim; I'm considering doing a couple more tonight, including DRS's; either that or take my last notes on Blitz

    AUD - 75
    BEC - 78
    FAR - 76
    REG - 80

    I never actually took the exam rehersals, but I was always trending in the mid to high 60's on practice quizzes when I would do questions from all the chapters. Passed all the exams.

    I used only Gleim to study for FAR. I just took it last week.

    I got an 80 on my practice test with similar scores for MCQ and sims. I did quite a bit of practice the week after I took the practice test but not as much as I would have liked (I was totally burned out).

    I thought I would leave my test feeling pretty good but I honestly have no idea how I did. I hear from everyone that Gleim is harder than the actual test but I didn't feel that way at all.

    Am I just nervous and psyching myself out about my score?
