From what I've gathered on this site, everyone seems to think that the Becker
Final Exams are substantially harder than the actual test. I took the FAR
exam today, feeling confident after doing well on Becker's Final Exams, and I
thought the actual test was so much harder! I feel like i might have failed.
Did anyone else think the actual exam was much harder than Becker's?

I think you should be okay.  If the CPA exam was harder than becker my guess is that you did well on testlet one and two bc the exam is adaptive.  Sometimes I get hire on the becker exams than real CPA exan.  Just wait for the grades to come out.  What grades did you get on the becker final exams

 

1, testlet one was easy.  2 very hard  3.  Easier than one or same.  Passed with 76 last quarter

my real test actually sounded exactly like yours. 1st easy, 2nd really hard and
3rd back to easy (which makes me think i did bad on the 2nd?)

I got 89 on the first becker and 85 on the second

I did not even come close 2 passing the becker exam.  You should be okay.  How did you do on the sims?  Is it true that you can see all the simulations now? Meaning, you dont have to submit answers when one sim is done.

You should be in the 80s or low 90s.  Good luck and let me know how u did.
