    I took FAR yesterday. Previously, I had scored a 73 on the exam (with Becker). This was my first attempt at FAR while using Yaeger. Here’s a rundown of my exam:

    First Testlet: Medium Difficulty

    Second Testlet: Super Hard (some questions I just had to guess)

    Third Testlet: Equal to or even easier than the First Testlet

    Simulations: I know I got 3 of them correct. I know I missed one of them, totally. The other ones I’m not sure about.

    I know it’s only skepticism, but can anyone tell me how you think I did based on my experience?

    Thank you in Advance.

    I took FAR on the 28th and this sounds about like my experience. My second testlet kind of blindsided me. This was the 2nd time I took FAR and I feel better about this one, but have no idea if I passed or not. However, it's always a good sign when you get a harder testlet. Good luck!

    FAR can be very difficult to tell how you did. I walked out the first time thinking I completely failed and got a 74. The 2nd time I walked out I felt pretty confident and I got another 74. Yes, I got two 74's on FAR. FML. The third time I took it I thought I bombed again and I got a 75. So be confident because it could easily go in your favor.

    i think you did pretty well and it was way better than mine.

    i also took my FAR yesterday. MAYBE my second testlet was a little harder than the first in terms of the length of the questions, but i am not really sure if it was harder. my MCQs were mostly involved in calculations, i would say about 60%, i guessed quite a bit even calculations, so i did not do well on MCQs.

    however, things getting even worse when coming to simulations, the simulations were disasters. most of them were foreign to me, i didn't know what they were asking me to do, i think only the research one i might get, but not 100% positive, and another one maybe i got the majority, the rest was horrible. so, i think i have to take it again in January. i don't think i could prepare well for the simulations i got yesterday, anyway.

    does anyone know when we get our scores for testing yesterday?

    good luck to everyone!

    Don't feel alone… me and you had very similar experiences. I took too much time on the MCQ's reviewing my answers I was pretty sure were right. Did really well on my first MCQ testlet. Got a really hard second testlet. Did well on the third testlet.

    And then got the Simulations from hell. Did a few of them with confidence did the others shakily and skipped the Research question and two sims.

    I hope we pass.

    Thank you everyone for your comments. haha, thanks CPATerminator….I hope you're right.

    cpa_hopeful_2k12…….it sounds like you an I had a similar exam experience. I'm not sure if I got very many correct on my second testlet. They were so wordy and difficult. I had to guess on quite a bit of them. I know I got my research question correct. A couple of my sims were a hopeless guess. haha

    I hope we pass too.

    Your experience sounds like mine. First testlet was okay, but the 2nd was cray cray….3rd came back down similar to the 1st testlet.
