NINJA Question –

Taking FAR in 9 days. Have spent over 200 hours studying. Just this last week started to do SIMS, and they test your understanding on a whole other level. I had a huge block up in beginning to do them, but sure glad I did. Gauging from the comments of others who have taken the exam, it seems like just as much time if not more needs to be spent on SIMS.

Yup, it is 50% of your grade!

I didnt spent all that much time on sims. I didnt find that it helped me personally. I wouldnt try to solve the sims during practice, i would just look at the answers and make sure it made sense to me. All that being said, i wouldnt recommend to anyone that not studying them is a good idea. I didnt go crazy with them but def at least looked at them to make sure i have an idea of how it was done. I probably practiced FAR sims the most, expecially JE's etc.

I would recommend to take the AICPA practice test to get a feel for the sims. One research, a few DRS, and then JEs/Financial statements are always expected for FAR.

AUD - 1st - 60 (12/12), 61 (2/13), 61 (8/13), 78! (11/15)
REG - 55 (2/16) 69 (5/16) Retake(8/16)
BEC - 71(5/16) Retake (9/16)
FAR - (8/16)

Thanks for the tips. I just worked a couple SIMS here in Ninja, and, boy, what a better system than Wiley SIMS. So much easier to navigate through! The best spent 47 dollars in a long time.
