Title says it all (I’m speaking in relevance to MCQ)

To find them google search: “AICPA FAR Released”, they are the first link.

The released questions always felt super easy and straight forward. The real exam is more challenging, maybe because of the pre-test questions that throw you off, but is no way of knowing.

Not the answer I was hoping, but the answer I was anticipating. Thanks.

I felt the actual test questions to be easier than the Becker questions. The sims were challenging for all. After I took AUD (my first), I knew the sims would be tough for the rest. The AL helped a lot.

These are right on par with the exam. Although I found the MC on FAR to be VERY easy. I marked at most 3 questions in each testlet. Maybe thats because Becker prepared me well for them.

the actual exam questions seemed fairly easy and straight foward to me. then again I got a 78, so what do I know?

I did get a question that I never thought in a million years I would see on the exam. Of course, I can't say anything about it, but it was so trivial! I couldn't believe it! i guess everything is fair game.

I agree with consensus about Becker materials being much harder than the exam. i was answering the actual exam questions at light speed, but the becker questions took 5 mintutes at times. Probabaly a great way to avoid a lawsuit.

I do not believe “easy” and “FAR” can be used in the same sentence in any context. 🙂

FAR MCQs have been pretty straightforward but the range is a killer. They can ask anything at all!!

Are the Sims that were released by the AICPA comparable to the actual exam? Looking at the 2013 released questions, I don't see how the sims can be very difficult. The sims they released look very easy.

FAR - 93
REG - 87
BEC - 84!!!!
AUD - 99!!!!!! CPA exam complete.

LOL, the SIMs released by the AICPA are complete BS. They are nothing like the actual SIMs. If you expect them to be like the AICPAs, you are in for an unfortunate surprise…

I feel the real mc questions were easier than Becker but a little tougher than the released questions. I thought I did ok on the mc after I got out of the exam, but according to my grade report I was weak on mc and strong on SIMS. So if it wasn't for the SIMS, I may not have passed. I didn't even look at the AICPA released SIMS and didn't do the SIMS on Becker either.

FAR- 78
AUD: 77
REG: 71
BEC: 77
