I just got back: 1st testlet: Medium (30 minutes) 2nd testlet: Hard (1 hour) - Lots and lots of calculations 3rd testlet: Medium-Hard (50 minutes) 1st simulation: Hard 2nd simulation: Easy Wow, the 2nd testlet threw me for a loop, there were tons of calculation problems. Overall, I don't think there were any surprises. I used Becker to study and skimmed over some information that ended up being on the simulations. If I had any advice, I would make sure to know everything and it helped when I wrote down journal entries/numbers to see what I was dealing with. I left with about 8 minutes left on the clock, I made sure my communication was as good as it could be on the second simulation. We'll see, good luck to everyone taking the exam!

htown, do you recommend going through all supplemental questions ?  

Brian, my suggestion - yes.... While I was going through supplemental ques, I was wary of the fact that it was consuming lot of time for me. However, when I was giving FAR exam, I realized that thankfully, i did the supple. ques. ! You can say that most of suppl. ques. are the indicator of ques. on real exam...

Sorry, I could not get back sooner. As soon as I took my test, the next day I flew out for my much needed vacation. I did want to report back my results. I did not do any of the supplemental questions, but did all the multiple choice 1-2 times then marked the ones I was uncertain and did those one more time while reading and understanding the explanations when I missed something.

I did pass and my diagnostics report said I was stronger in multiple choice and only comparable in simulations/written compared to the other candidates.

It seems like the consensus is right, if your second testlet gets harder (tons of calculation problems for me), you are doing well. Good luck to everyone else on FAR!
