taschliman,
was the Becker material indicative as to whats on the actual exam? Or were there things on the exam that Becker did not cover?

Becker does a poor job of preparing you well for FAR (at least for the
Simulations)...I took it today and had 2 research questions..I guess 1 of them
is getting thrown out

I just got back from the test center and feeling down as always for this section .
First testlet was EASY.. second was brutal with lotsa information and computations, theoretical questions were hard to where you really have to think .. third test was fairly easy ( i guess i did terrible in the second testlet )
as always sims are VERY wordy, first you freak out by the sheer volume of information, panic kicks in cus of lack of time , then you have to ask yourself what exactly they are asking and how to tackle the problem...
I did POORLY on all the sims , only one sim i felt that i know what i was doing.. It's the worst feeling in the word where you feel defeated despite you have put hard work into it...
This exam truly test your mental endurance. In the end atleast my mind shuts down and feels numb ...
I really don't know how else to study for these exams.. kinda tired of retaking these exams ( i have lost credit for AUD and REG) .. Maybe , this is not for me and look into something else

I felt the same exact way with the MCQ's, 2nd test-let was brutal and 3rd
was a joke (easy)....Sims are always hard as hell and it seems no study
materials prepare you well for them...I had 2 research questions so I'm
assuming 1 of them is the pre-testlet....I felt confident with about 3.5-4
of them (including the 2 research questions)...I am clueless as to what
score I could have received....I will be heart broken if I get another 74 or
lower...Fingers crossed, hopefully we passed Khan_Windsor
