utesa,

Time yourself. completing on time is always a challenge with FAR. Remember the time constraint when you mark questons for review.
This is the time frame suggested by Gliem
start        4.00
Testlet 1    3.15
testlet 2    2.30
testlet 3    1.45
sim-1        1.05
sim-2        0.25
extra time 25 minutes which may be required for simulations
Also w.r.t simulations do the written communication first. If you keep your presence of mind and manage time wisely you will have a winner.
Good luck to all of you taking your exam tomorrow!

Keep your fingers crossed - The grading procees is a completely different science and my belief is that if you have manged to complete your paper you have a much better chance of clearing the exam.
Wish you luck with the results

FAR is the beast I will slay this summer

I think it is good judgement on MC and the quality of writing on subjrct etc

time management is crucial

you finished everything that is a automatice 60 pnts in my book add some good answers and throw in some clever sim response and you passed

if not you will get it next time

have you retaken REG yet; if not why did you not resit for it this quarter

I just started with the cpa exam journey this year, I though taking REG next but because of my horrible performance I will go with AUD that way I can take both without too much sacrifice in the Apr-May window.....

Only 40 something percent pass first time; I guess I belong to the 60 % that fail... but it is ok I guess :( ... I know I did not passed :( :(
