This is my first time to post on these boards but I have been lurking on here for a while.

So my exam is on Thursday and I have been studying a good amount.  I am using Bisk Online as my review course.  Today, I completed the AICPA released M/C questions and simulation from the 2008 exams and I also did one final exam on Bisk. 

For the AICPA released questions, I scored an 88% on 50 M/C questions and scored in the 90's on the simulation.  I think it took me about an 1 hour and 30 mintues to complete all of that. 

For the Bisk Final Exam, I scored an 82% on the total exam.  For some reason, I was only given 3 hours to take all 3 testlets and 2 simulation which I ended up completing in 2 hours 53 minutes but I know if I been given more time I would have tried harder on my two simulations.  On my M/C I scored an 83% and the simulation I didn't do so well.  On one simulation, there was a communication part but for some reason Bisk does not grade those so I didn't get any credit for that. 

I guess my question is directed toward someone that has taken the exam.  Should I expect about the same score on the real exam?

ssham,

The released questions actually came with my Bisk material.  You might be able to google it and find it online but I'm not sure.

The results in Oregon finally came in for Wave 1.  I just want everyone out there to know that even if you feel the simulations destroyed you there is hope.  I had a few tabs that weren't even in the Becker materials.
