    I took FAR yesterday. To my surprise (and disappointment) there was only 1 research question on the sims. In my experience — and what I’ve read in other’s — there are typically two.

    Are all sims created equal? I nailed the one they gave me, but can’t imagine one of those having the same weight as a calculation-heavy, multiple tabbed sim. Is one normal for this window or did I just get unlucky?

    AUD - Pass
    FAR - Pass
    BEC - Pass
    REG - Nov

    Research is worth about 7 points.

    Are they identical to the Becker ones?

    “Authoritative literature” tab, find what they want and plug in some numbers?

    If there are two research questions I believe the points are split between them.

    There is no way to know how much the research question is worth. CPA exam is graded on a completely different scale.

    If you have two research question, one of them must be the the ‘pretest' question. I had two on my AUD exam.

    AUD 88 | FAR 79 | BEC 81 | REG 82 |

    No, research can be valued around 7 points. You can either have the scores split between two questions or one is pretest. You're not guaranteed one will be pretest.
