    Can someone tell me if the new FAR exam in Q3 of 2016 is going to be different from Q2?? Are the new exam formats being incorporated already?

    DRS sims come with 3+ tabs of information. one could argue more info given in the prompt= easier to answer. i will rejoice if i get a DRS sim on exam day- they look kind of fun.

    from waht ive seen theyre less academic and more of what i encounter@work as an accountant.

    I got one DRS on FAR and I think it was fun but definitely more time consuming, can't imagine 7 SIMS with DRS. 1 or 2 with DRS is ok but more than that will be crazy.

    Not relevant to the OP sorry, Do you think they will release timeline for Q3/Q4 after testing window for Q2 (June 11)?

    FAR - August 2016
    AUD - September 2016
    REG - October 2016
    BEC - November 2016

    DRS sims aren't that bad for FAR or REG. It's just information in a different tab/format. You might have to filter through the information but it's not ultra confusing.

    BEC 80 (10/23/15)
    FAR 72 (4/2/15); 83 (7/11/16)
    REG 52 (4/28/15)
    AUD (9/9/16)

    Yeah agree hasy, its not confusing but I think AICPA should include that in their sample test indeed of AL one so candidates get more familiar with the format.

    REG - October 2016
