That's amazing. You took the exam without covering Overhead variance? I only got one or two questions about that topic, but you're bold!! And you passed it. You must be a good guesser, but still I bet you make intellectual guesses well.

You thought you got a bunch wrong, but approximately how many questions per testlet?

I had gone over Becker's review of OH variances and tried to learn what I could from the posts here, but none of it stuck. I tried going over some practice questions on test day and got them all wrong and didn't get a chance to see how to do it correctly.

There were maybe ~7 per testlet that I marked for review.

I am in the impression that in BEC section, to score 75%, atleast 68 questions should be correct

Also, the exam is not scored as a percentage correct. Look at the stats... the pass rate is consistently around ~48%. You just have to be on the top half of that pass rate, and be better than the other people. Some people have estimated that you only need to pass around 50% of the questions to get a 75 on the exam.

If this the case, I have a good shot of passing both BEC and AUD! I hope this happens. I'm pretty confident that I passed BEC, but AUD will be close for me, and FAR....I can wait to get the grade :(

I think FAR is going to be a tough road for many people this go around! It sounds like a lot of people struggled with FAR this window.

I'll say FAR was a tough road...that exam was ridiculous. I felt good leaving BEC...leaving FAR my head was spinning. It was very tricky! I'm really getting antsy waiting for scores to come out...
