testing just tells you how much you know... Doesn't teach you more..

-1000. The questions in the review tests are mostly from old exams. Most of those questions are just reasked in different form. The more you do mcq's and read the answers to find out why you were wrong - when you get the sinilar question on the exam you are fimiliar with both the subject matter and with how the question can potentially mislead you.

I thought he wanted to do the practice test. (Becker has two of these)
The MCQ's with the answers are awesome! Problem is that you can't cover that much material in a couple of hours. For cram hours IMHO just read.

Thanks to all for their advice. Sounds like we may have had the same exam. Well have to hold tight for results.

I was more then confident that I scored way passed the passing mark. And unfortunately got way below the passing mark.

anyone ever expiernce this to the extend that maybe there was a computer mal function. Is there anyone I can talk to in the aicpa or am I wasting my time?

MarkS · « **Reply #135 on:** June 08, 2014, 12:10:08 PM »

Theres a converse relationship between thinking u did well and actually doing well.

If u do bad on 1st testlet you'll get easier quedtions that are worth less. OTOH, if youre doing well you'll get progressively harder questions (worth more points) making you think you did bad

I have heard all the theory's of how they grade. There r so many of them I dont know which to believe anymore. regardless- on the entire exam I fealt i did well and not just on the first part so.....

its actually pretty straightforward and would explain why you would do well on the 2nd and 3rd testlets...

Do you know where i can see this in writing or how do you know this as a fact? And even if i do see this in writing i still believe i did well on all questions and most of the simulations so it still wont justify such a grade. Can it be a computer mal function or no way?
