    So I am starting to get nervous about this because I feel that I have a pretty solid grasp on the material…and have done 3 90 question exams and scored 71%, 72%, and 76%.

    Obviously all but one of those scores would have me doing a retake

    Does anyone have any input to my original question?

    FAR - 74, 76
    BEC - 77(expires 5/24/12)
    REG 71, 72, 78
    AUD - 69, 72, Retake 5/23/12...78!! FINISHED!!

    In my experience, I found the Wiley BOOK questions to be more difficult than the actual exam. The Wiley Online/CD test bank questions prepared me well except for the sims. On AUD and BEC I was scoring in the 75%-85% range before my tests and I passed both in the 80s.

    On FAR, I was scoring in the 50%-60% range on the Wiley test bank questions and I do not feel good about my actual test results. Time will tell if my Wiley scores are similar to the actual FAR.

    Best of luck to you.

    AUD: 07/11/11 - Passed
    BEC: 08/27/11 - Passed
    FAR: 01/17/12 - Passed
    REG: 04/30/12; Re-take 7/16/12 - Passed

    FINISHED!!!!!!!!

    I scored in the 60's and low 70's on the wiley exams. Typically did about 10 points better on the actual. You are in good shape scoring above 70.

    BEC (11/10) 77 (Bisk)
    FAR 7/2 - 63 11/5 - 80 (Yeager - Fail, Becker - Pass)
    Reg (08/11) - 78 (Yeager)
    Aud - 11/29 - 78(Yeager)

    @ThunderFan,

    I'm glad someone else is having the same “problems” I am. I'm taking REG and using the Wiley test bank and am consistently scoring in the 60's and low 70's, even though I feel like I have a good grasp on the material.

    Time will tell I guess…

    FAR - (8/2012) 87
    BEC - (11/2012) 86
    REG - 73 (retake July 2013)
    AUD - 71 (retake April 2013)

    I used Wiley!

    For FAR I scored about 60% on average. And ended up with an 82 for the real deal 🙂 I think what helps is that the simulations have the research tab. I highly recommend utilizing that to find answers you aren't sure about.

    For AUD I averaged about 70%, still waiting to see if I passed.

    FAR - 11/4/11 - 82
    AUD - 1/10/12 - 76
    BEC - 1/24/12 - 80
    REG - 2/17/12

    REG test bank — keep scoring in the 60s and low 70s. But I had a similar experience with FAR and still passed.

    I feel the same way, with the book questions being harder than the online test bank (although i use mine offline… and I don't know if I had limited 1 year access… but it says “online test bank”). I feel like those questions are alittl easier than the book.

    what ive been doign now is more of the “assigned” mc questions from the book. and doing one testlet form the back every few days while studying (I take the test 31st). this way i figure, my prac test this weekend is from the online test bank,a nd although it might seem easire, ill confirm my confidence/anxiousness by doing the testlets in the back of the book…

    on another note, im taking this AUD exam because of the 18 month rule. didint do the videos, just read/skimme dthe book and handouts and NINja. no idea where i stand… it's a very scary feeling.

    AUD 83 2/10 (lost credit), retaking 1/31/12
    BEC 83 8/10
    REG 75 3/11
    FAR 76 11/11

    I have been taking this thing since 2008...
