Coworker of mine did this and passed. I think the consensus is yes provided 1 of 2 things. 1) you did really well on everything else, or 2) that sim was one of the sims they aren't actually scoring.

I myself wasn’t sure if 3 of my simulations were correct when I took FAR, I even could say made an educated guess but I still passed . Then for Audit I was quite confident I did great and will pass but I failed the test so Its completely in predictable the way the scoring works but yeah that’s about it.

How do you advocate for a "level" promotion in a company that has vague unofficial descriptions of levels? I'm doing L4-5 (on standard levels, or L3 within our system) work but can't get away from the unofficial "L2".

Fighting with my manager atm on definitions of levels and feel like its a red herring.

But I am confused between this.
Could you please tell or suggest what would be a better choice? Is doing masters in US or UK is a better ROI or be in India and gain exp and earn more by switching?

Supposedly the reg. specialist role is senior in their org. structure.
