OK. I just got home. That exam was brutal. And it's the first time I came out not feeling confident about how I did.
My MCQ went Medium, Hard, Hard. Test 2 was MUCH more difficult than test 1 and I'd say that Test 3 was equally as hard as 2. I flat out guessed on 2 or 3 questions total. I also had 2 or 3 questions where I KNEW the answer was A or B but not sure which so I made my guess. I had very few one-liners. They were all pretty detailed and were a good mix between Tax, Ethics and BLaw with the vast majority being tax related. In the end I feel pretty good about the MCQ.
The Sims… Oh my God the Sims… They were awful. Just awful. My reseach question wasn't too bad. I recognized the issue right away so I typed “elephant” into the search and “elephant” came right up as the result. That was my only research question. The rest were a mixed bag. My very first one I had to guess on. There was nothing in the AL to help me out so I just had to wing it. The rest I was able to make educated guesses on. I had the research question, one question where it was “choose the answer that fits” and the rest were all calculation based. I know I'm getting partial credit on all of them but I really have no idea how much.
I am completely and utterly fried. I don't feel defeated but this is the least confident I've felt coming out of an exam. May 5 can't come soon enough in my opinion. I just want to be done.
