I thought it just said they're adding a type of TBS. I don't think the whole format change is coming till 2017…

FAR | 81 - July 21 15
REG | 66 - Oct 1 15 | 87 - Jan 7 16
AUD | 90 - Oct 29 15
BEC | 86 - Nov 25 15

It's not a big deal…it's a tweak to the sims mid-year 2016.

No biggie.

The big changes everyone has been talking about is still 2017. This 2016 stuff is just a tiny thing in sims.

An aspect of the sims…not worth the time to even look at it until June.

Is it just for FAR/AUD/REG? They're not adding TBS to BEC yet right?

I like the changes and that they are getting rid of the EXIT button early. You can do a practice exam on that link and the new TBS really isn't that much different than all the other TBS on the exams. I was really worried about it but this change is nothing to see here. Move along…move along.

FAR - 10/3/16
BEC - 69 - 10/31/16
AUD - November 2016
REG - December 2016
