I’ve seen it posted for BEC, but is there a general idea for how much time someone should allot for SIMS in AUD? I know I’m a slow writer, so I planned for over an hour in BEC for the written communication. What does everyone here think is a reasonable amount of time to make sure one gets through the SIMS in AUD?

Just under two weeks away for me.

BEC 7/12/13 - 84
AUD 8/31/13 - 86
REG 4/11/14 - 84
FAR 5/30/14 - 88

Licensed AZ CPA - 10/2014

In my opinion, 4 hours for Auditing is more than enough time in comparison to the other 3 where you seem to RUN out of time. I'd plan on 2 hours for MCQ and SIMs since you have it. I was done with like 50 minutes left for the whole exam. I've heard of people being done in 2 hours for the entire exam. I don't think I've heard of one person run out of time, BUT I am sure it's happened.

AUD: 84
REG: 84
BEC: 79
FAR: 83

I agree with @SamDiegoCPA, when I took AUD I had about 2hrs and 10min for the SIMs and ended the exam with 40min left. I read over everything once too since I had the time. Unlike FAR where I didn't have enough time and freaked out lol. Good Luck!!!

FAR 66 (07/01/13), 75! (10/01/13)
AUD 64 (08/12/13), 80! (11/23/13)
BEC 84! (05/22/14)
REG 77! (08/28/14)
DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
