    Should we expect at least one DRS and one research question on the FAR sims? Has anyone ever had an experience where they were lucky enough to get two DRS and/or two research questions for FAR?

    I would go in expecting one research SIM.

    There is a possibility of getting two.

    For DRS I would expect to see at a minimum 2 but don't be surprised if you end up seeing 4+.

    I believe I had 1 or maybe 2 DRS, and one research. I had nothing but DRS on my REG exam in July…I usually go in expecting them all do be DRS. Those are actually not terrible because you kind of a choice of the answer-it's like a glorified MCQ🙂 LOL

    Thanks for the replies. I was expecting at least one of each, but I have also been reading horror stories of people getting SIMS and all of them have multiple exhibits to sift through. I approached the SIMS on the other three sections as getting a firm grasp on the research and DRS and just knowing the material for the other types of questions and not really practicing them. I feel like if we know the material, we should be smart enough to apply it and sort through information for the answers. Although this method has worked for BEC, AUD and REG, FAR could be different so please correct me if I'm wrong.

    I had two research questions and two DRS on my audit exam in November. I agree that the DRS are glorified MCQ and if you have time to utilize the AL, they actually can be rather easy. As for the research, if you practice them they aren't bad either.

    I would strongly recommend practicing SIMS for FAR. Perhaps do ones that are JE heavy and are like DRS…. Seeing the material in a different format will flush out what you do or don't know pretty well. There is also a blueprint FAR SIMS topic going around, which I plan on utilizing for my re-take. the topics are pretty close to the real thing so I want to make sure I know those really well.

    I took it last weekend and got one research… and the rest SIMS. Not one DRS.

    Actually pretty nice. Took forever but lucked into knowing the material.
