Hey Guys! I just took FAR today and I don’t know what to think now… I put in a good amount of effort into studying. I think I did well on the multiple choice section, felt relatively confident in most of my answers. Now the Sims are a different story. I ended up leaving 2 blank and the rest were filled to the best of my abilities. Has anyone ended up passing with leaving some Sims blank? This was my first attempt at FAR by the way. Thanks in advance!!!

One of those tbs questions might of been pretested (meaning it doesn't count)..if it seemed to be something completely foreign to you than it probably was pretested. If you feel like you did relatively well on the other five questions than I'd say you probably passed. If you feel like you did Ok on the those questions than I'd say theres like a 60% chance you passed but it depends if the question you left blank was pretested.

BTW you shouldn't leave anything blank. If you have time to put an answer put anything you dont get points deducted for putting a wrong answer..No answer and a wrong answer hold equal weight.

Sounds similar to my experience. I left 2 blanks too, and I passed.

Btw, if you got time, search on the forum for people who passed FAR when leaving sims blank… it will calm you down. There's lots and lots and lots of people that passed, despite leaving blank and despite not being 100 on the MCQs.

Thanks guys I do feel better! Usually AL sim is my strong point and I left it blank, I guess it wasn't my day. Hopefully I passed. I did think the MC section was relatively challenging but not as challenging as I though it would be. Felt like it was Med – Med/hard – Med testlet wise. And I had 1.5 hours for Sims. I felt so exhausted after the exam. Thinking to take a week break and begin studying FAR again just in case.
