So I will finish up reading the FAR Ninja Book this Friday and begin drilling MCQs. I am not to concerned about MCQs on the exam due to the volume available with Ninja and I plan to go through all of them since I probably wont be taking the exam until Mid July or even August but I am a bit concerned about the SIMs. I will of course keep track of MCQs I miss and why and study those along with memorizing the flash cards and reviewing the Ninja notes. I will do all the Ninja sims of course but not sure that will be enough. Should I supplement with the Gleim test bank/sims or would that be overkill?

In my experience (Roger/Gleim) the SIMs in the review programs were not a very fair portrayal of the actual SIMs on the exam.
Best advice is to take the AICPA sample. They are sort of software peared down versions of the SIMs, so just imagine one of the samples times maybe 5-10.
If your review course does not look similar to the AICPA sample then they are using the older style SIM questions and you will feel not properly prepared on exam day.
You can get a free sample of Gleim or any other reviewer to take a peak at their SIM questions.
I remember seeing some very outdated SIM style questions when I was working though the review courses, but it was around the time of the SIM changes, so maybe this have corrected.
You won't know until you check it out.
I found SIMs practice to be mostly a waste of time personally, but I was not fresh out of school.
Knowing the financial theory was more beneficial to me than knowing how to apply it (because I had experience).
