Hi all,

Just wanted to share that I took my first section (FAR) today, and boy, am I tired!  :o) 

My first testlet seemed to go okay, but the second and third were harder.  This ate up some time on the clock, and I struggled to get through the sims before time ran out.  I finished almost all of the sims, except for one research question, but there were two or three tabs between the two sims that I didn't know as well.  I wish I'd had more time!

As with many people who have taken this exam, I don't know what to think - did I pass or fail?  I just don't want to take it again!  I am ready to be done with FAR.

We'll see I guess.

Jan

FAR is HARD, if you feel exhausted then you worked really hard AND PASSED!!

If you left a research question empty its only worth 1 point, so thats OK.

unfortunately, anxiety is your new friend for the next 4 weeks.

I had 7 seconds left on the clock when I finished, that clock is mean!!!

good luck on your results.

Hi Jan,

I suffered along with you yesterday and took FAR down here on Florida. I hardly touched a lot of my first SIM, as I was running out of time, but got both written communications parts done and was able to finish up everything on my second SIM with seconds left. I felt okay about the MCQ's, but took a look at something I was unsure of (big mistake the night after the test, as I found out that I did not make the correct choice), so I actually feel a little worse about my situation today.

For now, I'm just going to start working on BEC but will keep my FAR notes handy as I don't know what to expect either. Good luck to you though. Hopefully, we were both able to successfully negotiate "The Beast" yesterday.

joecjr - Congratulations on your fantastic FAR score (so impressive) and thanks for the encouragement.

manbearpig - Oh, I feel for you, and I hope you are recovering from the mental stress.  I've been doing the same thing with going over the questions I may have missed in mind, but remember that even if you made a mistake somewhere, you probably came through in other areas.  It's s tough test, and everyone else taking it is in the same boat.  Yes, I hope the "beast" will never return!

I thought I was only one thinking about some MCQ that I had problems with. So far, I determined incorrect 3 of MCQs and one almost whole tab on simulation.

I don't remember anything else but I'm sure I missed more than I could remember and check.

I hope we all pass, but know that it's impossible due to the nature of FAR and the whole CPA exam.
