For everyone who used Becker to prepare for REG, how would you rate the difficulty of their simulations against the actual exam? I keep hearing everyone complain about the REG sims but so far I have not found the Becker sims to be too hard. So just curious if Becker isn’t as challenging as the real deal?

Some are ok. Some are waaaaaay easier than the real deal.

I found the Becker sims to be a good review of the overall REG topics, but extremely easy compared to the SIms I saw on my REG exam. My advice to you would be to use them in your studies but don't be alarmed at the difficulty of actual Sims on your exam. Just do the best you can with them.

BEC: 75 11/8/10
AUD: 89 2/22/11
FAR: 78 5/17/11
REG: 72, 83 10/17/11
DONE!!!!

BEC: 4/15/10-72 : retake 10/3/10-80
AUD: 11/28/10-74, 02/27/11-71 FML, 8/1/11-80
Ethics 10/22/22-80, retake 11/28/11 - 88

I also felt that Becker simulations were WAY easier than the real thing…I felt very under prepared when walking into my REG exam.

Becker really does not help with the sims. I saw things on my REG exam that were barely covered in the becker textbook and I had very detailed simulations on. I had a topic that I would have considered more FAR related then REG. Honestly, I would only practice the becker ones as reference to learn the format because they dont help much with the material or time management because the actual exam is much more detailed. Dont waste too much time practicing sims.

What about the Wiley SIMS?

AUD 81 (X4) Previous scores 59, 72, 72
REG 80 (X3) Previous scores 59, 60
FAR 75 (X2) Previous score 67
BEC 79 (X2) Previous score 58

I would say do not worry too much about the contents of the SIM. Just concontrate on the functionality. The SIMS will not look this anything that you practice no matter whichever practice material you are using. If you know the concepts well, there is no need to be scared about the SIMS. The way I look at SIMS is just a multiple series of MCQs. If you know the concepts well and you are ready for the MCQs, you are simultaneously ready for the SIMS too. Just my two cents…
