    Scheduled to take FAR on 5/12. I just went over the sample exam that the AICPA provides and the SIMS did not seem to be too difficult. For anyone who has taken the exam recently, would you describe the SIMS on the AICPA practice exam to be similar in difficulty?

    Also, any advice you would give someone while they are doing their final review? I am 10 days out and not sure what to do, keep going through progress tests (this is what I did for REG and AUD)? I’ve been shooting for about 150-200 MCQs a day. Scores are kind of all over the place (anywhere from 60-80% on sets of 33, averaging around a 75%).

    Any exam experience stories would be appreciated as well!

    Thanks in advance!

    I took FAR in December (don't know how much has changed since then). I thought the actual sims were more difficult than the AICPA sample, but they were not as hard as most of the sims from Roger. They were involved, but doable.
    Looks like you are well prepared! If you haven't already, I'd suggest taking a couple of full mock exams and re-writing your notes a couple of times. That really helped me retain everything. And keep practicing sims. If you have Ninja I thought those sims were very comparable to the ones on the exam. 🙂

    If you got a 99 on AUD, just keep doing what you're doing

    Anyone have a comparison of the actual exam sims and the sims in Becker? The Becker ones don't seem terribly difficult either.

    I'm using Becker and I think the actual exam SIMS were way harder. There were also more documents to go through.

    I took FAR 1 month ago. Felt the Sample Sims were very comparable to the exam.
