Anyone ever have that happen?? I was so stuck on this sim for FAR today and now, 6 hours later it hits me what I was supposed to do and the key words I failed to recognize in the moment. How frustrating!!!! Praying extra hard I got that 75 now :/

FAR: 7/1/14 (waiting for my score is torture!!)
AUD: 7/27/14
BEC: 8/30/14
REG: TBD

I could have used at least half a dozen epiphanies on the FAR sims today.

To be honest, after walking out of Prometric, I actually struggled even remembering what all the sims were. I honestly can't recall what one of the seven sims was even about. It just completely vanished from my memory within minutes of walking out the door. Pretty sure that's a bad sign. Then again, I'm running on two nights of four hours of sleep, after a night of five hours of sleep, so maybe that has something to do with it.

AUD: 88

Yawn. Sleep is critical leading up to the exam it's no wonder your short term memory was on the fritz. Still…wish you the best of luck in that 75+….

MBA,CMA,CPA, CFF?, ABV?

I'm Praying with you and for you AND me on FAR!

Truth be told, I had this experience for DAYS after taking these cursed exams (and I had the month long wait for one of them).

It stinks, but if this were easy or fun everyone would do it.

@ How many letters do you need:

Unfortunately, my body's ability to shut down into peaceful slumber stops functioning every time a test comes up. When I took AUD, it was also on four hours of sleep, even though I had spent countless hours lying awake in bed (that morning, I was so furious that I had wasted so much time that I kicked a metal filing cabinet, much to my foot's displeasure). This time around, I decided that since I know I won't be able to sleep, I may as well spend that time studying instead of tossing and turning angrily in bed.

It seems like the only way I'll be able to score a full six hours of sleep before exam day is if I schedule myself a surprise test date that I'm not aware of until the morning of––sounds horrifying just thinking about it!

Yawn- I hear you. I don't know why, but I can never for the life of me think of questions that I was curious about or the sims after I leave the test center. I think it's my brain of protecting me…I don't want myself to know how awful I messed up!

Studying with Wiley Review, Wiley Test Bank, Ninja Audio.

Ugh, I had nightmares about my FAR SIMs. My mind was replaying them over and over looking for epiphanies, I guess. It was horrible. And I couldn't for the life of me remember what one of the 7 SIMs was either. But I passed. Hopefully you guys will, too!
