I for sure thought that I didn't pass FAR, because I left 4 tabs blank (3 sim calculation tabs + 1 reserach). Overall, I felt okay with the MCQ's considering my second and third testlets got noticeably harder than first. There were about 5-7 questions that I spent about 3-5 min to solve. I could have given up, but I fought till the end since I knew the MCQ's make or break your score. I completed the first testlet in 30 min, easy, not a problem. The second and third testlets, I prob spent about 1 hour and 15 min each and I only had 60 min for simulations. I completed the WC immidiately and completed two tabs in sim 1 and left two tabs blank and had only 20 min for the second sim. I completed the WC and research (both easy) and only completed half of 1 tab and left 2 tabs blank. Today I received the passing score of 79 and the diagnosis states that my simulations were comparable (not weaker) to other candidates. For thouse who struggled with the simulations, there is still a chance of passing as long as your MCQ is strong! :)

worked out for you. Congrats now that you're all done.

Yes, I used Becker and supplemented questions from Wiley book. My suggestion is to re-do all the MCQ's as much as you can until the exam. I think that range is good for the first try, although eventually it will be around 80+ after you do them a multiple times.
