Did you think your testlets were harder on the second and third compared 2 the first?  I had problems with 2 and three this time around.  When I took the test the first time.  i got creamed on testlet one.  How do you know if testlet 2 is Harder than the first?

I totally agree.  I took FAR on 2/9 and spent lots of time on M/C calculations.  Seemed like 95% of the non-governmental questions required calculations!  And there were so many concepts I knew well that I wasn't tested on - ugghhh!!!  My sims were very random as well.

I took this exam a week ago and had a very similar experience.  I found the M/C to be extremely difficult in comparison to the other two times I took this test.  Additionally, I had two tabs in one of my sims dealing with a concept that Becker nor my other study materials touched on...obv I'm hoping those were pretest.  Also, I had 4 M/C questions on a topic that Becker covers for about 2 pages, and my other materials do not cover at all.  During studying I had decided I'd skim that material and just assume it wouldn't be covered on the test.  Then I encounter an exam that covers a 2 page portion of Becker with 4 questions, yet doesn't hit a single piece of material from nearly 2 entire lectures.  It's just the nature of the beast, I guess.  The previous times I took the exam, I literally studied for one day and got a 67, then studied for 2 days a year later and got a 72.  This time I studied my rear end off for a month and feel worse about it than I did when I studied for 2 days and got a 72.

All that said, though, I've found you can never really tell how you did on these exams.  I've passed all 3 others and never felt like I passed a single time that I did.  Just have to wait and see.
