I took the exam on August 14.  It was governmental accounting, bonds, investment accounting and four simulations which I feel I did well on.

This summer has been pretty busy for us... I rescheduled my FAR exam for October 1st instead of Aug 24th.

Camila, I am glad you feel good about your test!! Hope results come soon. :)

I think we should receive our results within the next couple of weeks.

I just took FAR today.  First MC testlet was easy, next two were a lot harder.  I know that's usually a good sign, but I don't want to read too much into it.  There were 3-4 questions in the last two MC testlets that I had to guess on because I either didn't know the material, or couldn't get my calculations to work.  The TBS were easier than I expected.

Honestly, I've seen this advice floating around here and there, but it proved to be very useful.  On the TBS, USE THE CODIFICATION, even on the non-research TBS!  I went back and changed a few TBS answers I wasn't sure on after looking up the issues.  It turned out to be invaluable.

I really regret not spending more time reviewing the MC testlets.  I was afraid I wouldn't have enough time for the TBS, so I saved a lot of time for them.  I could have easily spent another 10-15 minutes on each of the two harder MC testlets and been ok time wise.

The very last simulation module I don't think I did well on.  I struggled a bit with the portions relating to investments.  I didn't have alot of time to cover some of the material, but I think I may have passed by just a hair.  You are right about the codification, everyone should become familiar with that.
