Just took my first Becker practice exam for FAR… a couple of questions

    1. I was doing the SIMS and got part of a question wrong because I put the account names and numbers in a different order. In other words, the numbers and their associated accounts were correct, but the two debits for the entry were switched and it marked it as wrong. This kind of thing won’t count as incorrect on the exam right?

    It was something like

    DR: Int Exp 85

    DR: Lease Pay 15

    CR: Cash 100

    When the problem solution had the two debits swapped in terms of order so it said I was wrong for some reason.

    2. I got an 84 on the practice exam… can anyone speak to translation between Becker and the final exam? Will I be okay?

    I got the exact same answer and it counted it wrong, I think the real exam will grade a little more specifically. I'm not worried about that part. How did you compute your grade? I think people usually do better on their real test than the Becker test. For example I scored like 50's on my BEC Becker finals and was freaking out thinking I was going to fail it.

    BEC - 83
    FAR - 83
    REG - 74, 78
    AUD - 76

    I took the average % on my MCQ and multiplied it by 60%, and the average % of the sims and multiplied it by 40% and then just added the two. Got high 70s overall for MCQ and aced most of the sims, though I'm well aware the sims are very random.
