...and - yep! - it was pretty much miserable. :-) Seriously though, I think I did pretty good on the MCQs. The simulations were a different story. I think I did alright on the 1st one (like maybe 1/2 of it right), but the 2nd one was downright brutal. I might have been better off just leaving everything blank! I'm hoping that I passed based on my feelings about each of the other sections. I put a lot of time and effort into studying and I do NOT want to have to take it again....

When I took FAR (7/12) I thought my sims were pretty easy. They were very big, lots of calculations and some theory stuff. The written parts were very manageable. Also, they covered a variety of topics.

Maybe they were easy because I knew the material they were asking?
