I took the Wiley practice test recently. Two SIMS just gave blank lines, 1-12 or 1-30 (with no line titles) and said to fill in the tax form (1120S and 6251) based on the information.

They did not give what each line was, just the line #. Is it realistic to have a form memorized by line, including the % to multiply certain lines by? Completely bombed these two SIMS as I didn’t think it was necessary to have form lines memorized.

Also, I dont think the Wiley grading system is accurate as I scored close to 90% on the MC, but they graded the SIMS based on the # of line item answers, which completely threw my score off.

Are these questions realistic??

Hi Greg. That's funny that you posted this thread. I just included a similar post in the REG study group thread. Someone else in the thread noted that there is usually a template on the actual exam so you wouldn't be expected to have a whole tax form memorized.

Agreed. I don't know why Wiley does this, especially on the practice exam
