So in Becker, there are multiple problems that pose the same exact problem description, but with a different question for each MCQ.

For instance, the problem description could be something along the lines of:

“During the current year, Another71 began a project to construct to build new HQ. Another71 purchased land with an existing building for $750k. The land was valued at $700k, the building at $50k.”

And then, each MCQ will have a different question pertaining to the same problem description i.e. – MCQ#1 – Calculate he liability insurance premium during construction, MCQ#2 – How does the treatment of delinquent taxes get treated, MCQ#3 – How does treatment of interest get treated, and so on and so forth.

There are about 6 questions with the same problem description. Do these actually exist on the actual FAR exam? Where there are multiple MCQ’s with different questions based on the same problem setup? I’m just curious, because this would save me a LOT of time from having to re-read a new problem and trying to understand it.

Does this make sense?

I'm a little surprised to hear that you did not have many calculations on your FAR exam. I'm studying for FAR now and I worry pretty frequently that I will not have enough time to finish all the questions because of the amount of time needed to complete calculations on the MCQ. Were you surprised at the small number of calculations you had?

yes very surprise and upset ( I started a post about how disgusted I was after the exam). I studied so hard and did not get any heavy calculations which I was actually strong in. As you can see I barely came out of there alive, but to be honest I think what saved me was the SIMS. I got comparable in both sections (MCQ & SIMS) but knowing my JE's really helped me . Good luck
