I took FAR last December and failed with a 61. I walked out thinking no way I passed because I was absolutely lost on 6/8 of the simulations. Later when I looked at my score report, it said my score was comparable to passing candidates (75-80) on the multiple choice, so I must have gotten around 43% on simulations. My first thought after the exam was that the majority of the simulations focused on one area of the material, but then I ended up blaming myself for not practicing the simulations enough.
I took the exam again yesterday, and felt like the simulations were a lot easier and straightforward. On a scale of 1-10 I thought they were 4 difficult compared to probably 8-9 on the first try. I also thought the simulations covered more areas of the material.
Had anyone experienced this before? It’s to the point where I think I could have passed on the first try with the second try’s simulations. To be fair though, it seemed like the multiple choice was more difficult this time.
AUD 77 (6/2018)REG 77 (9/2018)

AUD: 16 days
REG: 13 days (skipped units 7 and 8 and did only flashcards instead)
FAR: 28 days, 12 days, skipped lectures for both attempts
BEC 13 days
