I took a FAR practice test, and on the journal entries in the sims I had the order slightly off but amounts correct and it didn’t give me any credit. Does anyone know if the journal entries MUST go in a specific order? Like, this was a monetary exchange with commercial substance and I had the all the right accounts in the entry, just not in the order it wanted.

This was discussed on another thread but I don't have time to look for it right now. I believe the consensus was on exam day make sure you list the debits first. @minimorty may know which thread this was on.

I had the debits and credits in the right order, just the specific accounts weren't in the same order as the answer provided.

I was told the order shouldn't make a difference on your real exam. I know on my sims I had the JEs in a strange order on some of them because I went back and made corrections, and I still managed to score “stronger” on them in my score report.

I remember being really annoyed with the practice sims grading with CPAexcel. I even had to put a 0 in the CR column for a DR entry or I missed points. The CPA exam has better programming than that.
