    On my exam, all 90 MCs were pretty easy; however, it covered A LOT OF of materials, including significant amount of questions related to IFRS. 2 weeks before the exam I practiced all AICPA released questions from 2006-2013. “90%” of the MCs were very similar to those released questions. NONE of the MCs questions were tricky!!!! Also, I didn’t think my testlets got significant harder. Overall, testlets 2&3 had MORE “BASIC” calculation questions.

    THEN, sims condemned me from heaven to HELL. I was confident about ONLY 2 out of 7 sims problems. The last hour of my exam I thought I was dreaming and literally saw stars at the comer of my eyes. I had 1 hour and 20 mins to work on my sims, and it was NOT ENOUGH. I spent a lot of time to read through the questions and sometimes questions I didn’t know how to start. I left one sim problem empty cuz I ran out of time….. I felt dizzy when I walked out the testing center.

    However, I passed with my 1st attempt!!!! THANKS GOD!!!! (((cry)))) My suggestion for the FAR section is to go through ALL AICPA released questions as many times as you can for preparing MCs. I thought I had enough time for Sims, so I actually double checked all 3 MC testlets. That was my mistake!!!! I would suggest to finish MCs as fast as you can then leave at least an hour and half to two hours for sims. I am using Becker, and it does NOT prepare me enough for simulation questions. Knowing journal entries is critical! Good luck to everyone!
