I took REG today (for the 2nd time) and I felt very prepared walking into the test center. I have been reviewing all my previous notes and writing even more notes while working through an additional 600 or so MCQ. I arrived early and reviewed my notes while relaxing by the lake near the center.
The MCQ section went very well and it definitely seemed like the 2nd and 3rd tests were “difficult”. When I clicked submit on the 3rd booklet I definitely felt that I had a strong chance at passing. I had almost 1 hr and 45 mins for the SIMS.
And then the SIMS happened……
I found the research pretty quickly but 2 of the SIMS completely came out of left field. I had studied the topics but this went miles deep beyond what i had covered. Time was ticking away and I was searching the AL trying to figure out what in the heck to do! I’m pretty sure I got the research, the majority of SIM #1, and at least part of SIM #6 correct. I had a DRS that had many attachments and i was super annoyed. I spent a lot of time searching the AL trying to figure out the 2 odd SIMS but I didn’t get very far and had to plug a lot of 0s since my time was running out. At ten seconds left, I hit submit and it told me that I didn’t answer #4!!!! What the heck???? I’m pretty sure I answered everything even if it was just to put 0s.
It was a completely different test that the one I took the first time in November. Some of the “major” topics only had a question or 2 and that was unfortunate because I was very prepared for those!
I’m so frustrated!! I went to my car after I left and literally starting crying. I felt like throwing a childish tantrum and kicking and screaming and throwing something. This test has turned me into a freaking crazy person. I know I did well on the MCQ but I can’t see a passing score if I missed the majority of 2 SIMS and didn’t answer 1 at all! Looks like I will get to test out the new format in Q2.
I hate REG, I hate those stupid laminated sheets, I hate those stupid markers, and I hate not being able to use the restroom for almost 4 hours due to the hassle of those insane security procedures!
I’m starting on AUD tomorrow since there is nothing more I can do for REG at this point.
