I am in same boat as you; no expectations what so ever from the new format exam. From what i heard, there will be a 15 min. break after 2 hours of exam; also all exams will be 4 hours(perviously only FAR and AUD were 4 hours exams, REG and BEC were 3 hours). They will also be testing more on understanding of materials than randomly guessing on MCQs. So there will be more sims than previous format. For my Audit retake, I am focusing on doing more Sim practices as well as reading the text book more(than just doing too many MCQs). Hope that helps.

AUD - 76
BEC - 75
FAR - 76
REG - 77

FINISHED.    "If I can do it, so can you".- ME.

Here is a breakdown from Roger on the exam changes. I suggest reading it and also doing a google search so you are better informed and not rely so much on what you hear from people. Everyone interprets everything differently.

AUD - NINJA in Training
BEC - NINJA in Training
FAR - NINJA in Training
REG - NINJA in Training

AUD - 1/6/18
FAR - TBD
REG - TBD
BEC - TBD

AUD - 73, 72 retake 7/2/2016
BEC - 8/20/2016
REG - TBD
FAR - TBD

I am so ready for this nightmare to be over. Been at this way too long.

Roger Review + Ninja MCQs

This helped me see how the format will be for all four sections beginning in Q2. There's a timeline with the included break and a summary for each section of the exam. I found this the most helpful because it shows how many MCQs and how many TBSs are included in each testlet for each exam. Knowing this information makes the new version a little less scary.
