So I just came back from Audit and it was definitely not what I was expecting. 1st teslet was fine, second testlet was definitely harder, but i think I held my own on it. The sims were just stupid, plain and simple. The 3rd and 4th teslet were not great but could’ve been worse. I got all 3 simulations in the 5th teslet wrong, including the research sim. I left 2 of the blank pretty much, one of them had 8 attachments and the other one was on like sampling that was just impossible. The research sim questions was one sentence long and it was SO BROAD, totally unfair question and the advanced search didnt do me any justice. Anyone have any thoughts on my chances?

I've heard of people in worse situations and stilled passed. But to be honest, there's nothing you can do about it now. From experience, I was a lot more happy when I stopped caring after I click submit. Go pamper yourself for a week and start studying for your next one!

This is the second time I've heard someone mention that the research sim was too broad, that's really not fair of them. Also you have to remember that there is a pretest in the sims so maybe the sampling one was a pretest. Goodluck!

All scores expired, let's try this again.

I had a very similar experience with the audit section – 1st mcq testlet was easy – 2nd testlet was much harder. The simulations seemed impossible – lots of calculations and documents to review. I ended up passing with a 78 – I’m sure you’ll be fine

I took it today as well. Research part took me forever to find. I finally found it when I did an advanced search using the “exact phase” feature but it was just lucky that the wording ended up matching.
