Cherrystone,

were the info on the simulations not something that you studied??

what review material did you use??

I was so concerned about having enough time to complete the 2nd Communication that I slammed the other tabs on SIMS1.  When I finished the second Communication I had about 15 minutes to address the remainder of the tasks. 

Without getting too explicit, there was a fact pattern that was explained in a paragraph about 1 page long.  That was followed by data in table form.  I was intimidated...and spent.  I knew I only had enough time to read and comprehend the task and fill in a few tabs or load up all the tabs with SOMETHING. 

I used Becker.  They did a good job.  I will be spending alot more time on Journal Entries when I prepare for a retest.

Thats one of the things that brothered me.  On the Sims, it wasnt very clear on some tabs what needed to be done.  I had one tab where I absolutely knew the topic but it was just extremely confusing figuring out what exactly they wanted me to do.  Thats frustrating to me.  To spend 3 months studying, KNOW the information but because the directions werent very clear not do well on a particular section.

Seems like alot of people feel bad walking out tho.....so maybe I didnt do as poorly as I thought.  The first testlet was fairly easy.  The 2nd and 3rd not so much.

I just think that while I finished two sims, I didnt get enough correct on them to pass.  Then again I hear stories about people not doing one sim and passing so who knows.
