    So I just took Audit today and had not 1 but 2 sims that were straight from FAR. I haven’t studied FAR yet and was basically guessing for both. I was curious afterward and went to Becker to find out where these questions came from and I found the exact unit/chapter in FAR that they came from.

    How is it allowed to have 100% FAR questions on audit? How am I supposed to prepare for a test when the questions are not even about the subject being tested??? I want to complain to the AICPA or something but I doubt it would do any good. I’m just pissed because I feel like I had audit down but I don’t feel like I will pass now.

    BEC (May 2017) - 79

    REG (Jan 2018) - 63, 75

    AUD (Aug 2017) - 79

    FAR (June 2018) - 58, 75

    @Parthamis, these FAR questions were very curveball type questions that did require you to have some FAR knowledge. The questions weren't impossible, but having the prior knowledge from studying for FAR would have help.

    So after taking it, I can fully understand why people are complaining because it seems like these SIMs have little to no business on the AUD exam.

    AUD - 93
    BEC - 90
    FAR - 86
    REG - 93
     

    The wait for the test scores seems more stressful than the actual test itself.
