    Hey everyone, sure this has been asked before but just hoped to get it answered again.

    Has anyone passed the exam with weaker on both SIMS and MC overall on their score report (not individual sections; doubt it would be possible without getting at least one of those stronger).

    I’ve gotten 73, 74, and a couple of 70’s with weaker on both SIMS and MC.

    Thanks

    I don't know about other states, but I know that for mine, my score report does not show the breakout of how I did if I passed. It only shows me weaker / comparable / stronger in MCQ and SIMs if I failed. So I can't really answer your question directly. But I will say that the SIMs always seem to kill me, and I somehow have passed a few exams. Even with SIMs being 50% now, I still scraped by on FAR with a 77. So you never know.

    You've gotten really close, so you do know your stuff. Maybe you need to try something a little new? Perhaps a new test bank or notes? Something that is fresh so that you aren't using the same old test banks and memorizing the answers to all the questions.

    No.

    The thing literally says your performance in comparison to candidates scoring 75-80. If you performed worse in both sections than people who scored 75 then you probably won't score a 75.

    I passed FAR with a 75. My score report says:

    by Item Type Your Performance Compared to Passing Candidates (Weaker/Comparable/Stronger)
    Multiple Choice (60%)
    Weaker
    Simulations (40%)
    Weaker
    Written Comm. (N/A)
    N/A

    So yes, you can pass with being weaker in both MCQ and SIMS. At least under the old exam.

    @curlygirl1213 I know this is off topic but I just got my score back from my first exam (aud) and got a 68. I noticed you got a 68 on your first attempt, and then increased your score ten points to a 78. Any tips on how to do that? I was super bummed when I got my grade I studied a lot for that exam. Not sure where I went wrong. Any advice would be helpful thanks !!
