NINJA Question –

I still have to go thru most of the NINJA task based questions. Those who used both, can you tell which one did you find more challenging? what abt practice exam?

For which exam?

FAR: Did more Roger's than NINJA, did it to only get a feel of what the SIMs are like, time is honestly BETTER spent understanding the concepts. If you understand the concepts, the SIMs should be cake. I did 25% on both sides. NINJA was a LITTLE more harder (no DRS though).

AUD: Saw every single one from NINJA. NOTE Roger's has DRS and NINJA does not. DRS sims are harder. Honestly, I did all of them because they weren't that hard to go through. It was very fairly easy and similar on both sides, no math aside from the sampling ones.

REG: Again same thing, no DRS sims on NINJA. I did ALL the sims on BOTH. It doesn't matter though, because the SIMs on the exam are SO much harder, like ‘out of this world' hard. I would really HIT the concepts hard and practice a decent amount of sims. NINJA are a LITTLE harder, not that much difference. Honestly, it doesn't matter TOO much that NINJA doesn't have DRS sims bc you only get ONE drs sim on the exam. Practicing them a WHOLE deal wouldn't make too much a difference.

Hasy,

sorry abt error. I should have specified its for REG. Thanks for detailed explanation for all three sections. I didn't find Rogers Simulations very difficult. Few were challenging but manageable. DRS are hard for sure. First, I went blank. like huh? what is this? Rogers recommend spending 15 minutes on each Simulation but with DRS I don't know how that is possible?? When you have to go thru so many documents and read and analyze all the information. It's one ugly simulation.

I recommend leaving the DRS for last when you take the exam. In general, leave the hardest or most time consuming simulations for last in case you run out of time. I had plenty of time for REG though. Ran out of time on FAR & BEC.

Hmm, I wouldn't leave the DRS for last. Don't. You could get a kind one like I did. I'm positive finishing that question contributed to my low passing score.
