I read a lot of people say that its helpful to use the AL for all the SIMs. Whats the best way to utilize the AL for the non research SIMs? I find it fairly hard to navigate the system to find things…

On one SIM I was able to copy the question/situation directly into the search feature and it gave me answer word for word. I tried to do that on all of them but I was only able to find one. I have seen posts where people were able to find many nonresearch questions word for word. Leave a lot of time for the SIMS so you can search many different parts of the questions.

IMHO, there are 2 keys to utilizing the AL for non-research SIMs:

1. Give yourself plenty of time for SIMs with good time management on the MCQ testlets.

2. Choosing the correct keyword(s) or phrase(s) from the SIM to search for in the AL.

My last exam was AUD and I had a good 1.5 to 2 hours left to spend on SIMs. Most people leave early on AUD (like I did the previous time), but I stayed and thoroughly researched every SIM until I was certain I had given them my best effort.

I took AUD on Friday, I felt good about the mcqs but the sims were crazy, I was able to find the answer to the research question ( hoping that is the right answer) and one other question which was quoted word for word. The rest was a toss up and I had no idea what the examiners were looking for. I tried using the AL with no avail.

Dec 6 will decide my fate, wish you all the best.
