how was the exam?

guess u aced it and is recovering from a hangover

Yea, I did recover from a hangover.  Everyone I know had a drink to this being my last test!

Took the test last Friday.  It went well.  There were only 2 questions that I marked for review.  I had 8 minutes left when I was done.  The 2.5 hours goes by pretty fast.

My test felt like it was 50% calculations.  All the items people say you have to know to pass are true.  I'm grateful I crammed all the forumulas into my head the last month.

The test was not as hard as the materials I've been studying with Becker.  More like Wiley.  And there were items that were not in the review materials, but having taken all the other exams already, I could reason them out. 

This does not count the wacky IT questions that come out of left field - I didn't mark any IT question because going back and pondering my answer will result in probably changing the answer - and my first instinct is correct 85% of the time.  Even tho I'm tempted to return to them, I don't.

Over all, I feel very positive about my test results.  I won't jinx it by saying I passed it, but it was easier than any final exam I practiced.  Besides the calculations, the test required more of a total (whole) approach using reason rather than memorizing data.  A third of the non-calculations required reasoning and the questions could have been on a FAR exam.

Good luck to all of us taking this exam.  I hope none of us have to return to this one.
