Has the AICPA said that one SIM will be a research question? I have read most people get a research question, but is it a for sure? I have heard there can be multiple research topics to answer in one sim.

I'm like 99% sure you're guaranteed to have a research question. Some people even get two. You only have to reference one topic for that but the other sim problems will usually have multiple parts. If you haven't already I suggest doing the exam tutorials and samples on the AICPA website 🙂

From my experience, every exam I have taken had 1 research question. Make sure you know how to do these. They are easy points and can be answered in a minimal amount of time, so you have extra time for the others.

Same here. All 4 of my exams had 1 and only 1 research question. I would feel like I won the lottery if they gave me two of them.
