Just getting back from the test center.  Took FAR early today and have been on an emotional rollercoaster. 

I felt pretty good about the MC's.  I felt very good about the Communication and Research tabs in the SIMS. 

The other SIMS tabs were an absolute debacle.  Between time constraints and simply not being familiar with the tasks I was posed with, I know I got smoked.  I was rushing just to put values in the fields in many cases. 

What is the % value of the SIMS modules excluding the Communication and Research tabs?  Do I even have a prayer???

The non-communication portion of the sims accounts for 20%.  I hope I do not have the same experience Saturday, but I'm feeling good about my knowledge of the material.  I would say if you nailed the MC and did well on communication you are good.

I just got back from taking the test too.

Sims apparently count for 20%, Communication 10%....and from what I hear the Research tab just 1% lol.  One communication is graded, the other is not.  Hopefully its the one I was able to get through.


I went through the first testlet fairly easy but after that....I just dont know.  I did not feel good walking out of there.

You all will be fine! I sat 11/24 and started the last sim with 12 minutes left.  I was VERY confused about requirements in some of the tabs and my research answers were off some.  As long as you made an effort to get everything completed, then you have a better chance then not writing or entering anything at all.

Apparently it is better when we feel bad walking out of the exam.  That means we worked really hard! Harder work means more points. 

Just relax I guess and you did the best you could!

I took it today as well. Very frustrated. I'm almost positive I failed. If so I lose all my credits.
