    Becker CPA Review simulations – Just wanted to help warn others (and I also sent an email to Becker directly) that while Becker’s MC questions are comparable for the FAR exam, their simulations don’t even come close to preparing you for the actual exam. The actual exam SIMs are way more involved and include more exhibits. Luckily I was still able to squeak by with a 77, but I devoted a little more time to the MCs assuming the SIMs would be comparable to Becker. DON’T!

    Definitely try to spend 1:45 to 2 min max per MC question or you will run out of time on the SIMs.

    Example: I could do a Becker SIM in about 4-12 minutes. I didn’t do a single test SIM in under 10 minutes.

    Yea Becker Sims are usually way easier than the real SIMS. However I still do all of the Becker Sims at least once, but I don't really review them. A few of the minor questions asked in Becker Sims do come up on the actual exam. But I agree, generally the real thing has a lot more exhibits/documents to open. I hear Gleim is the best for preparing you for the Sims on the exam. I would just focus on the MCQs from Ninja and Becker, and try to understand the material.

    REG - 68 - 8/21/17, 82 - 12/10/18
    BEC - 72 - 12/4/17, 86 - 3/5/18
    AUD - 61 - 3/4/19, 63 - 5/28/19, 77 - 8/26/19
