I took FAR for the first time Feb 27 and got 66. Today I just got my score report in the mail and to my surprise it says that I am stronger in simulations. How can that be? I thought I totally screwed up Sim #2 and was pretty unsure about Sim #1. It just goes to show you how strange the grading for this exam is.

Also, it lists scores of 70-72 as other Passing candidates scores. How is that possible? Those are not passing scores.

I had the same thing :)  I think that means that those who passed (75-80) only scored 71-72 in sims but you had higher. 

I was upset in my case when I compared areas that I was "stronger" because I though I was stronger than the rest tha passed :( ... that means I studied what those who passed thought is not that important :)  ... kidding everything is important!!  but I think that is what it means!!

Did you pass? I did not :(

sorry I just noticed you did not pass...

focus in your "weak" keep the "stronger" and make the "comparable" stronger and you will pass next time!!

 

Good Luck

I still don't have the paper saying what was strong or weak...just the failing score.
