Being that this was my first exam, I was expecting a bloodbath from start to finish.

10 questions in and I thought, “Okay, I can stay on pace and finish this in time.” Left myself with 15 minutes per sim.

The first 5 out of 8…they were reasonable. Nothing to get too upset about. Finished testlets 3 and 4 with 50 minutes to spare.

I guess the test-makers decided that I was too calm and decided to pull out all the stops for the last testlet. The first sim caught me off guard. I think I did an okay job on it, but it ate a lot of time. That came back to haunt me as the last two we’re just as bad. I got about 75% way through it and ran out of time.

One bit of advice: Work on your pace I on DRSs. Just in case you come across one.

"FACT": The odds of consecutively passing all four sections of the CPA exam on the first try: 7%.

Me: Hold my beer...

Like every single one of my FAR sims had lots of supplemental material I had to go through.
Yeah I had a replace the sentence (DRS) sim. The hard part about those is they seem to be like last and have a boat load of options to pick.
Though I think you can eliminate some very easy. For example I had one 2016 document, but some answers were talking about numbers from 2014 and 2015, which wasn't what we were doing.
