   I left feeling pretty confused.

   My first two testlets were pretty easy and I felt like I had seen most of the material in my CPA Excel course, Wiley book or cpareviewforfree.com. The third one was noticably harder, but I only felt truly unsure about maybe 4 questions.

   As for the SIMS, that is a different story entirely. I should have listened to the advice to take FAR first because 5 out of my 7 SIMS were all about journal entries! I feel like I did okay, but even on the other SIMS I felt like the material was totally foreign. :/

   Overall though, I would say the best advice I got was to leave myself as much time as possible (at least 2 hours) for the SIMS- I needed every second!

   AUD - 95
   FAR - 77
   BEC - 84
   REG - 07/14/2012 TBD

   I hope you pass.

   I take it tomorrow, and the possibility of seeing FAR on my exam tomorrow is gonna crush me. I haven't taken FAR, so that'll be interesting.

   Were you tested a lot on transaction cycles?

   No, not a whole lot which shocked me! I also had spent the last two days memorizing the ratios and I NEVER saw those...

   My advice would be to just review the basics of J/Es in case you see them as much as I did. Accountingcoach.com is a pretty good resource.

   Last time, I took it...I had a SIM related to J/E (it was so easy), but I switched my D/C so I've been writing down basic J/Es and hoping to scan over FAR book related to adjustments, etc.

   Thank you for your response and I hope we pass AUD!!

   Just took audit. I finished over an hour early and had 2 research sims which were easy, I thought. Overall it seemed like a reasonable exam, and having taken FAR before was a plus. However, I'm slightly worried that I might be thinking that I did better than I actually have. I can't wait to find out in a week or so.

   FAR 10/01/2011 78
   AUD 11/29/2011 85
   BEC 02/21/2012 78
   REG 04/23/2012 82

   I just took AUD today too, and had only 1 research question. 2 out of the other 6 SIMS were really tough for me, one I absolutely know nothing about, and not covered in Becker.

   Just hope for a 75!
