Just finished FAR. Hopefully, this was my last exam. Testlets went: Medium INSANELY DIFFICULT and back to Medium. I flew through the first testlet as it was by far the easiest. Probably got 24 – 28 correct. Second testlet took me like 45 minutes as it was just absolutely ridiculous. Certain questions had so much data it didn’t fit on one page and I had to scroll, never seen that before. Second testlet probably got 15 – 19 questions right. Third testlet was just meh. Probably got about 20 or so correct. I’m also expecting I got a few questions wrong I shouldn’t have based on second guessing or not paying close enough attention i.e. being tricked.

Out of the 7 sims, I was pretty confident in 5 of them. Meaning, I knew how to approach and attack them, this includes the research sim which I’m 100% confident I got right. The other two sims I had 0 idea and was just trying to collect the free points by filling in the obvious boxes and taking educated guesses on the numbers.

I’m praying for a 75 but I think it’s going to be damn close. Any similar experiences? FWIW I got a 70 on my first shot at FAR, studied a tad harder this time.

Now what the hell do I do?

I had a very similar experience with FAR this time. My first testlet was fairly easy and the second was ridiculously difficult – I think the third was back to medium difficulty. As for the SIMS, 6 of the 7 I thought were crazy easy and 1 was difficult, but I know I got at least partial credit.

I passed with an 88. I'm sure you'll do similarly. Good Luck!!
