    Hello all,

    I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to prepare for the new SIM type.

    eg. I found this great breakdown for an Audit one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvMzbHdP00w

    However, I was hoping to find a similar breakdown for FAR. Any tips for the FAR DRS would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks. Good luck to everyone.

    there is actually one on the AICPA webpage on their practice test which is pretty useless as far as the MCQs go but they do have 4 SIMS including a DRS.

    and they ask me why I drink...

    FAR- 61-next time I'll ask for lube instead of a calculator
    REG-75- Never been so happy to see such a low grade
    BEC- 8/11
    AUD- 9/2

    These sims are honestly the worst. I hate having to go through multiple documents to complete them. They can be time consuming. These sims you really have to be careful and pay close attention to what the statement is saying. The littlest of details can change the entire answer. Wiley's test bank has some good ones (which I believe are more challenging than the one I saw exam day). Good luck!

    AUD 8/18/16
    FAR 11/16
    BEC 1/17
    REG 2/17

    Thank you, both.

    I had planned on checking it out this weekend.

    Like I said, I was hoping someone saw where an example was broken down (eg my link above). If memory serves, they just give you the answers there but don't show you a guided solution.

    That last video was exactly what I was looking for. THANKS!!

    I made a .pdf of it so I can spread it out on my table when I cram this Sunday (exam date is Dec 9). I wrote out the steps the instructor took for each of the five blanks. I know the exam is computerized, but it's helpful for me to have everything printed. It's easier than staring at a screen.
