NINJA Question –

I took FAR in January and forgot to ask Jeff and the forum about the differences between the sims presented to me in the real thing and the ones I practiced on the test bank. The presentation was different and the options were different – it just didn’t feel the same. I passed Far with a 77 so it didn’t hurt me too much but I can’t help but wonder if it impacted my score at all…

What I remember most clearly is that I couldn’t enter zeroes at will and had to pull them from a drop box. Other times I literally had to leave some boxes completely blank. This is another big one: with Far in particular there are a lot of journal entries of course. Sometimes they will give you four or six boxes and you only need a few, so in the Ninja sims there would be an option for “blank” but in my Sims I don’t think I saw that. Everything I’ve read, and all the practice lectures, have said to never leave a box blank – just put a zero in, or something. But I know I had to leave a few totally empty with no number or selection.

It was a while ago now and I regret not asking months ago when it was fresh. Does anyone know what I’m talking about or am I crazy? I just clearly remember being very worried that I missed a lot of points on my sims because of formatting errors. I have Reg in a few days and I’m worried that I might be blindsided again with Sims looking completely different from what I’m practicing.

Thanks

Have you done the AICPA's practice exam on their website? It's only a handful of questions, but gives you a good feel of what the actual test is like. I forgot to do it before AUD and was surprised by the difference of the SIMs on the WTB. I haven't done the one for REG yet, though.

AUD - 85
BEC - 84
FAR - 82
REG - 78

Ethics - 95

AUD - 56 - 68 - 61 - 9/8/16
REG - 75
FAR - 7/15/16
BEC - TBD
