How many practice exams should a test taker sit through to be comfortable? I have my exam next week, and was thinking of doing one AICPA and one RogerCPA practice exam before March 9th. Is that enough?

What exam?
I did the Roger practice for FAR. Its good to evaluate time, but I was done after about 2.5-3 hours, and the SIMs are no where near the actual exam SIMs. I ran out of time on the actual exam in comparison. Practice exams are best used to evaluate speed on the MCQ testlets.
I did not do practice exams for AUD REG or BEC.

The AICPA samples are not full length, but I would encourage you to work through both the 2017 and 2018 versions. Some questions repeat, but there is at least one extra SIM on the 2018 sample.

Sorry, was talking specifically on AUD. Thought my signature would show at the bottom that I'm taking AUD on March 9.

I'm taking AUD tomorrow. I did 2 practice exams and I have done over 2,000 MQC on NINJA. I did the AICPA sample tests 2x and did the 2017 and 2018 ones as the other poster mentioned since I too noticed the 2018 has more than the 2017 example. I feel prepared but I anything is possible…

AUD- 74 (2012), 72 (4/20/16)
BED- 7/6/16
REG- TBD
FAR- TBD

Going to be completely up to the individual person. I never did a full-length practice exam. If you struggle with time management or feel like you're slow then they are probably more helpful. I finished both my exams with over an hour left on the clock.

Yeah, the practice exams are only good to see how your stamina is in terms of the actual test…I would strongly recommend doing the AICPA sample test though.
