    First Testlet was very fair second testlet was harder, third testlet might have been easier than the first testlet thank God!!!!

    The simulations were just out right nasty. But since I gave myself an hour and 30 minutes to do the simulations it made it a little easier. If you only give yourself an hour to an hour and 15 minutes to do simulations it’s going to be very scary so I suggest that everyone give yourselves about an hour and 30 minutes to an hour and 45 minutes for the simulations if you can give yourself two hours to do the simulations you are golden for the simple fact that it takes you about at least 10 to 15 minutes just to understand what the heck they are asking for. I can definitely say that after taking the exam “it could’ve been worse”. Good luck to everyone!

    You hit the nail on the head. My experience was very similar, but I only left a little over an hour for the SIMS. If I did not pass FAR, the SIMS will definitely be the primary reason. I hope you get exciting news during the upcoming score release!

    AUD - 90 (07/05/13)
    REG - 87 (08/29/13)
    BEC - 84 (12/02/13)
    FAR - 82 (02/10/14)

    Gratz 🙂 I think I did similarly. Medium, difficult, medium. The only thing was, I barely studied for government, so when I got those MCQ, i narrowed it down to 2 instead of 1 like most questions, and I threw a dart at a diluted EPS question.

    Simulations were rough too. I probably nailed 2/7, bombed 2/7, partial on the others lol. I took it this Sunday, have to wait til the 10th to hear back.

    FAR: 2/23/14 77 (1 month studying)
    AUD: 5/25/14 68
    AUD: 7/13/14 72
    AUD: 10/12/14 72
    I GIVE UP
