I have taken the REG exam 2 times now and both were very different. My first exam had many tax calculation questions. This exam had more conceptual questions and less calculating questions. Funny thing is my first exam I passed the MCQ portion but scored poorly on the SIMs. As a matter of fact, I did not even finish so I was not surprised with my score of a 65. I became frazzled with a couple of items like the use of the calculator for example. The calculator came up in the lower right hand corner and I was moving each time to put it in the middle of the screen(in my eyes view) and then I would move it back when I was done. Why you ask? Beats me! But I noticed when I was almost finished with my 1st testlet that in moving the calculator back after my calculation, if I hit anywhere outside of the calculator box I would accidentally change my answer. At that point I became frazzled and went back to as many questions as I could to make sure I had the answer that I originally picked. I wasted too much time and messed mind up so that I was not on my best game to finish up the exam. Moral of the story, don't move the calculator. There is a reason they had it come up in the place where it does.
This time I felt much better and had plenty of time for the SIMs. I forgot I important and simple element on one simulation and it was needed for each of the answers in that SIM. I hope it doesn't completely mess up my score, but if it does…. I will be taking this exam again.
Back to your question….. It is so hard to pin point what type of questions you may get. Just learn the topics as best you can. I know this is very vague. Just don't memorize but learn and understand as best you can. That is the best advice I can give.
One more thing, business law is not normally on the SIMs. They are usually in the MCQs and Tax is usually on the SIMs. I hope this helps.
Good Luck!
