I want to share my FAR experience.  I thought the MCQ’s were very tricky and twisted. Often, I could not calculate the answer to what they were showing as an available choice. Other times, I was so pressed for time that I had to just make wild guesses so that I could move on.  There were a couple of MCQ, I did not even know which topic did they belong too.

 

And the Simulations were brutal too. They had a simulation on a topic which was not at all detailed in the book. I rushed through the first simulation thinking maybe the second one would be something better. But that was worse.
