Anyone using Gleim, can you tell me if the Gleim SIMs are comparable in difficulty to the actual exam SIMs? Or, are the SIMs just more difficult than practically any you’d see with “any” study software? Just curious.

@M.O.D. – I understand your point however, there is also the case that sometimes when trying to get it down to 1.5 minutes you can have the tendency to just memorize both the question and the solution too.

[M.O.D.]

Memorizing the question is not necessarily bad. There have been cases when the test has the exact same problem as in the review. It is likely a previously released question, that they decided to reuse. Free points for the studious.

And even if they don't have the exact same problem, they might have one very similar. Either case, knowing the steps will pay off.

And even if I know the answer, I still make myself go through the steps. I never assume I know the solution. I might recognize it, but I don't accept that I am right, until I check it through the steps.
