Hello All -
This is my first time on here. I have really enjoyed the feedback I have read on other posts. This topic appears to have been hit on several times, but I wanted to share my experience. I have passed all parts of the CPA exam except FAR, which I took for the first time on Monday. I had prepared for this test for more than 3 months, and felt very confident going in. Here is my experience:
The first MC section was a breeze, but the second and third were much more difficult. From what I understand this is a good thing. When I got to the simulations I had about an hour and a half left to finish, so I tried to stick with 45 mins each. However, I had two very difficult simulations. The information was all over the place, and the detail was overwhelming. Long story short I filled out everything on both simulations & communications, but nothing really got the attention it deserved based on time. The second simulation suffered primarily because I tried to get information onto every tab. In addition, I was very brief on the second memo. Needless to say, I feel like I may have bombed the simulations based on time (I literally ran out of time).
However, from reading other posts it appears I have a shot at passing. Anyone had the same experience and a success?
