Hi David
Yes, the PIFR was a surprise. Nearly a third of the questions hadn't been covered. (Human factors, specific questions re PIFR status etc).
IREX was as expected, yet there were so many questions I was waiting for that weren't in it. It was like we'd learned more than we needed. Having said that, the exam q's today could cover all those I expected yesterday. Depends on the mix of questions that comes up each time.
Summary, I wouldn't have had a hope without doing the 2 weeks with Bob. 2 other guys in the exam had been self studying for 12 months. They both failed.

Congratulations mate. I wasn't aware that the PIFR contained questions on Human Performance. Those funny little psychologists want to inject their 'psychobable' into everything. Sometimes I suspect they really do think they know what they're talking about.

Time was not an issue. I had plenty of time for the questions and then to go back and check them.
Good tip to just go and do the easy ones first.
Cheers....
