I’m curious how much people used the authoritative literature to assist with SIMS on REG. For AUD, this was an enormous help for me. There were certain SIMS that I was confused on but was able to find supplemental information in the lit. tab. There were even a couple SIM questions where I was able to find word for word answers in the literature during the exam.

I know it is not a good idea to rely on the literature tab over simply knowing the material, but it sounds like the REG SIMS are brutal from what everyone says on A71. Has anyone found it helpful to reference the literature to assist with these painful REG SIMS? For a 3 hour exam, I’m guessing time constraints make it difficult.

Any other suggestions for studying REG (for SIMS or even the exam as a whole)… I’m all ears.

Thanks!

I didn't have time to use them.

Personally, they weren't helpful for me at all, since I had no drop-down menu SIMs. I have taken all four parts of the exam and I have never used the Auth. Lit. on anything except the research question.

BEC: (4/2012) 88
AUD: (5/2012) 91
REG: (8/2012) 82
FAR: (1/2013) 78 🙂

They were extremely helpful for me in AUD, besides the research question I think I found 2 word for word. I don't think they were as helpful on REG and I also ran out of time so I think you would have to get lucky/know right away where to search to make them as helpful on REG.

AUD - 81 (05/11/12)
BEC - 86 (08/11/12)
REG - 73 (11/10/11),78 (01/07/12)
FAR - 77 (2/25/12)
