Practice Test 1 completed

155 days remaining
Mood – Good
Study Time – 3.0 hours (84.0 total)
Sections Taken/Passed:  none/none

I took the first practice exam tonight.  Unsurprisingly, I still do not like the written part.  That being said, I did really good on one and slightly better than piss poor on the other.  Even on my bad one I could have gotten a couple of points at least.  I did really well on the simulation with the piss poor written part (93% by number of items) and decent on the other (86% by number of items).  I scored 84% on the multiple choice.  It isn't as good as I would have liked, but not horrible.  I was hoping for a stronger showing on the MC really.  Based on 70% of the test from MC and 10 points per simulation I came up with a score of 76.7.  It isn't how the grade would be determined, but that is the best I have to work with.  Throw in 3 or 8 points on the written depending on which got graded and I'd end up around 80.  It is encouraging, but a little scary.


Practice Test #2 is on the agenda for tomorrow.

  1. Do they only grade one of the communication sections? I took FAR a few weeks ago and felt very good about one communication and horrible about the other. If they only grade one, I have a better chance of them ignoring my horrible response!

  2. I've heard they grade one for most of my CPA exam taking time. Lately I heard that they grade both. The mystery around the grading of the test is nuts.
