Why does Becker Grade TBS's the way that they do?

Most people suspect that the real exams give partial credit and I understand that this would be hard to fully implement into a training course, but it doesn't seem that difficult to program each box to be right or wrong instead of the entire row. It makes it more difficult to review mistakes when half of your "errors" aren't even errors at all.

16/19 answers correct (84%) and it gives me 53%.

It's all just a conspiracy to give more weight to the BeckerBump™ isn't it.

Exam TBS vs Becker TBS

I just took FAR for the first time, which was my first exam overall. I have been using Becker to study and due to the Simulated Exams I had the impression that there would likely be a few sims with little/no exhibits. I think one of my 7 sims had less than 6 exhibits on the actual exam.

Obviously I'm not expecting any of these study programs to be perfect, but I would just like to ask as I likely study for my retake if this is normal or did I just get shafted by the rotation lol.

I just took my first Simulated Exam on Becker (FAR) and scored a 69.

My distribution was as follows:

Testlet 1 (MC) - 64%
Testlet 2 (MC) - 36%
Testlet 3 (TBS) - 78%
Testlet 4 (TBS) - 89%
Testlet 5 (TBS) - 92%

I was always told MC is where you pick up your points but I seem to be doing the opposite. Throughout the units I have mostly done the MC and skipped the simulations which makes this even more confusing. Has anyone else experienced something like this? Any study tips (especially MC) that I should focus for the last 2 weeks before my exam would be very appreciated.
