In your experience, how do you think I did on this Reg Retake?

    Going into the exam, I did about 3300 mcqs, trending 88%. Got an 85 and 87 on practice exams.

    Test went med-hard-med/hard. I’m sure I missed a few from overthinking and nervousness but felt pretty good going into sims. Spent about 30 min/section.

    Nailed the research, 90% confidence on the DRS and another problem. One problem I felt iffy because it was a little confusing, the other two I feel I at least got partial credit on.

    So I felt pretty good about the sims, I’m worried I missed a few on the mcq :(. They hit some of my weaknesses.

    Compared to my first exam, it was a complete 180. Last exam I felt like I had gotten hit by a truck, this time I felt pretty good!

    Thoughts?

    Not bad, when I used Beckers and ninja, i was getting a 50% in both software. Your scores clearly demonstrate that you get it. Looks pretty good.

    FAR-76 First attempt.
    AUD-79 First attempt.
    REG-79 First attempt.
    BEC-79 First attempt.

    Done!

    Yeah I was crushin it while studying. I think I got nervous on the test again, but hopefully enough for a pass. Last time I felt much worse (especially about the sims) and got a 72

    Tcohle I think your stats and exam experience both sound good for a pass. If your testlets got harder and you feel good about the SIMS, then I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. I'm freaking out because all my MCQs seemed easy on my retake, the third testlet had just a few harder questions but overall I felt the MCQs were way too easy, never a good sign. I thought the SIMS were tough too – even some of the straightforward ones threw in some distractor info to make you second guess.

    I see that this REG retake could be your last possible exam as well, hoping we can both be done here on the 4th! I think your chances are good, good luck!

    MCQ are so hard to tell though, because the ones that seem hard could be weaknesses, but to others they could feel “easy”. I know I already got a few wrong

    I also took REG this week and had a similar experience as you. I made a 70 on REG last month and my exam experience sounded the same as yours for that one too, haha. I was trending at 88% before this test. I also made a 75 on BEC and an 85 on Audit.

    I will say the biggest difference on the latest test was the simulations. The sims on my first REG exam were in another language and they weren't too bad on the most recent one. I still don't feel that confident but that's just what the exam does to you. Here's to us both getting a passing score!
