Okay, so this is going to seem like a dumb question since anything/everything is fair game on these exams, but while going through the material in Gleim, many of these MCQ questions seem to be such long computational questions, I am generally worried about getting through them in time to complete SIMs. Is it typical to see a large number of ridiculously hard computational MCQs?

You are lucky if you see a lot of computational MCQ

REG 90
FAR 95
AUD 98
BEC 84

The answer is no. The exam does not seem to bother with whether someone can add/subtract/divide/multiply many numbers accurately. Most of the computational questions I have had so far were one or two step calculations for mostly one, sometimes two variables.

When it comes close to your exam date, I would recommend skimming through the longer computational questions and skipping them if you know how to solve them.

Because usually the harder your exam gets, the better you are doing.

A 85 6/10/16
B 81 7/19/16

I have the same concern as you Excel. I just finished some MCQ on Bonds and they took me over 5 hours.. Some I don't even know where to start and just stared at the question for 20 seconds. My exam time is at 9AM.. Yikes, it's too early for me but only time slot available.

@culter3:

I get that, but the trade off is, the harder it gets the more it bogs you down also.
