Woo-hoo! I passed FAR with a 91! Nearly fainted when I saw my score. I was just hoping for a 75. But in retrospect, I feel like I got just about all of the MCQs right, so leaving one of the sims almost blank didn't affect me much. Good luck to everyone else! My last test is Tuesday. Can't wait for this whole thing to be over...

Not gloating or anything, but y'all shouldn't worry too much. I was dreading this one just out of sheer volume. It was daunting just trying to slog through the becker text - which i never had a chance to complete. for the passmaster questions I got to chapter 5 before I decided to give up and pack it in. I was supposed to take 2 weeks off to prep but we lost a guy at work so i couldn't take off. So i pretty much gave up, watched Inception twice, played Starcraft2 and drove to Buffalo for the exam. I'm from canada so, hotel was booked and too late in the game to reschedule. Was kicking myself in the ass cuz the exam content turned out to be fairly light....nothing complex, but just that I didn't put any time into it, i found myself making educated guesses throughout the whole thing. didn't finish 2nd sim. Found out i passed by a healthy margin, so please, you guys, don't worry yourself over this. I think perhaps they make up for the content by making the questions a little on the lighter side.

exams are always
difficult, when we are unprepared!

I think before you post comments like this, you should
get all the facts. I specifically said in my post that I
put a lot of time and effort into studying and in a more
recent post I mentioned that I spent 3 1/2 months
studying...and that's all while working full time. I do
not go into exams unprepared, and as a rule I will not
take an exam unless I feel ready...

Why r u taking my comments personally....this was a
generalized statement...u r not alone who studied while
working...am a father of 2..working full time, delivering
the family responsibilities and studying too.....it
doesnt matter how much time we devote for studies..thats
hardwork....the underlying thing is how fast u get the
stuff in ur head and can retain it till the
exam.....anyways after passing the exam..things fade out
of memory and there kicks in our experience and we
sharpen our tools as we move ahead in our professional
career.

Hey Torontoacc....did you go through Becker? if you did, was Sybil Dewhurst your rep??? She advised that i go to New Hampshire, i had enough credits from UofT for 2 people to graduate, so i likely would would have been accepted at any Sate. Now that i'm done all my exams, i found out i won't get a certificate cuz it's a one tier state. WTF!
