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?

Yea, I had a test that made Becker feel like Cliff Notes.  You never know what you will get when you go into the exam room.  My sims were nothing but journal entries and government accounting - neither of which Becker is strong on for FAR.

Having said that, you will walk out of most of these exams feeling like you failed.  But you pass.  I did the math and there was no way I could amass enough points to hit 75 - but I did.  You just never know.  Stranger things have happened on these exams.

Haha, I have :) 

I also thought (on prior exams) that the final for Becker was pretty much in line with the difficulty of the actual test... maybe excepting REG.  I didn't feel that way for FAR - just took it Monday.  The actual test about blew my mind.  The Becker one seems like a cake-walk comparatively.
