For the people who have taken both exams, how would you compare the sims?

I read a lot on here that the FAR sims are just practically overwhelming and stuff comes out of nowhere. I kind of read that a bit when I was studying for AUD. My sims for AUD were really not that bad and actually quite a relief from some of the things I heard about on here. My AUD sims seemed to deal far more w/ FAR than AUD, but still not very bad.

So would you guys say FAR sims are far worse than AUD?

AUD - 81, BEC - 74, 80, FAR - 82, REG - 81

Actually,

My FAR sims were not that bad…I am still pissed that i used the wrong formula on one!!! I knew that formula, how I could just plug away using the wrong one behooves me!! Anyway, my first sim was straight up acctg 101, and I absolutely knew that would be the one that was tossed out. So when I opened the second and seen what i saw I was like yes!!! Until i reached the car looked down at my notes and realized i had been using the wrong formula….

AUD–the sims were intertwined with FAR but I specifically remember them in my Becker audit book. I am thinking you and I must have had the same one. Yes you had to understand how FAR flows but the concepts were really audit.

So no I dont believe that the ones I were given were any worse than the other. What was worse was my lousy memory!!!

I took both FAR and AUD. For FAR, I did not complete my second sim. I thought it was challenging, but very doable. It was just a lot of stuff. For AUD, I thought I got lucky. They were not bad at all (in my opinion, which obviously did not mean much). I did not think they were as challenging as the FAR sims I received. In the end, I scored comparable on FAR (even though I was just randomly clicking away on the second one), and I scored weaker on AUD, even though I finished the exam in plenty of time? Go figure.

Magic8ball don't be harsh on yourself. I tend to do this too but it is so counterproductive. I find my mistakes after the exam and i keep going back to them in my head. It is so painful. But I have passed exams even if I found more than a few mistakes and wrong formulas I've used. So it is all in God's hands.

My AUD sims were not bad at all. My FAR sims were from the devil himself.

@FAR

Well I have read twice now on here where a person received the exact same sim when they retested…so maybe…I will have a chance to prove that I know that dumb formula.

@Dale

LOL…well you defeated the devil!!! Cuz i read your story on the front page!! Hold 'em down until i am thru!!
