Hi Everyone,
I can't believe how calm this site is right now. I took FAR on 5/15 and I'm happy to say this is my LAST exam! This waiting is killing me. And, by the time my score is released - if I did fail FAR it will be difficult for me to schedule the next test date before I lose AUD. The AICPA really needs to release scores a little more quickly.
Not to mention this wait is playing mind games with me. One minute I think I may pass but the next minute I'm afraid of failing. This test is so difficult to guage. When I took REG - I left the exam crying because I was "positive" that I failed. After all, I didn't even touch the 2nd sim....how could I possible pass? Well, I did! And, I'm not complaining.
However, I had a similar situation with this past exam. I felt OK about the MCQs; sure, I had a few Govt Accounting & Fair Value Measurement questions that I was unsure of but overall I felt relatively calm. My only concern is the MCQ testlets didn't appear to fluctuate in the level difficulty. The 1st sim wasn't too bad - I'm sure I didn't ace all of the questions but I was confident with my communication. Then I got to the 2nd sim!! It was horrible. I probably had 4-5 tabs of problems and each problem took up the entire page! I barely touched this sim. I only wrote 1 sentence on the communication tab and ran out of time.
I read an earlier thread that talked about candidates passing FAR without finishing (or barely touching) the 2nd sim. This gives me a little bit of hope. In the meantime I continue to impatiently wait for my scores (which I will receive in the mail because I live in a SNAIL MAIL state).
Best of luck to all!
