Agreed that FAR and REG have the hardest while BEC was quite easy.  I got in the mid 80's for FAR and felt like I failed after.  I kind of feel like I am in the 65-75 range after taking REG but I am praying that I passed.

Next up is AUD which I hear is the easiest of them so hopefully the next testing window will be my last.

Same experience as scotch for FAR and I feel the same way for REG. My simulation was a mess.

On the actual exam, the questions were asked with a twist or two and required detailed knowledge.  Now onto the sims..............................All I can say is that the sims  could demoralize even the smartest geek on earth. They are cruel, unfair and probably beyond the scope of examination.  I feel defeated by REG (I took it yesterday) and I'm losing my hope of passing whenever I think about it.  March will be painful waiting for the scores.

Agreed!  I prob could have studied a little more, but the last week I put in a stupid amount of effort... the MCQ's were fine, always hard to get them all right when prob 10 are one word different and you have to just KNOW what that becker book said verbatim.  Anyway, the SIMS were ridiculous, felt about like FAR where I was ready to quit while running out of time.  I am def one to overanalysis every MCQ so I take a lil longer and like to review.

If I could take exam again today, I would do prob 5-10% better because I realized a better approach, while letting the material sink a little bit more!

I am hoping the SIMS I bombed are dropped, and I hope relative to other ppl I didn't do that bad.  The only thing I know that makes me feel better is that other ppl who have done very well on parts of exam are saying the same thing... That SUCKED!

Good Luck to us being the test subjects for this cruel experiment.. I have Audit starting up, and taking in 6 weeks so I have to move on.  Seriously though, I know a lot about REG right now...Hope it shows :)
