Quick Question - I know the testlets vary in difficulty depending on how you did on Testlet 1 & 2, but I was wondering if the simulations you take are based on your performance of the 3 testlets? Or are there 2 simulations standard?

I guess I'm just wondering if we might be able to tell how we did on the MC based on the difficulty of our sims (although I suppose the difficulty of your sim is based on how well you know your stuff).

Thanks in advance, I tried looking online but I couldn't find anything.  I figured someone on here would probably know!

The simulations are standard.

The sims are standard, but my experience is, even if you know your stuff well, some of the items they test in the sims are so obscure that it doesn't make a difference.  I knew my stuff very well going into the test, aced the MCQs and got hit with sims out of nowhere that were pretty tough.

Also, the sims aren't like the practice ones in Becker where they cover a whole topic, e.g. consolidation.  Each tab could cover something totally different.  It doesn't affect exam prep, but still something good to know.
