Okay, people! Cough up the goods 😉

I have seen horror stories about the AUD sims being nothing like any of the review materials (Becker, Wiley, etc.) Please don’t break any rules, but if they’re nothing like the review materials (which seems odd because they cover a lot of topics in those SIMS), how can one prepare for them?

Is it just a crap shoot with the research tab?

Did you hit on some mysterious study formula that made you feel prepared when you actually took the test?

I am getting nervous. MCQ, I can learn backwards and forwards. I have a good memory. But I would like some authoritative opinions that A) the people who are crying about the SIMS were not prepared, B) there is a good way to prepare for them, or C) the secret really is the research tab.

Thanks for the help!

Just took AUD last week and SIMs didn't seem too bad. I'm hoping it was because I know the material well. Obviously my last AUD score was not impressive, but hopefully I've come a long way since then.

And yes – research tab is very important. I know for a fact that it made me answer 1 SIM correctly.

FAR 67, 73, 71, 76; AUD 61, 85; BEC 70, 77; REG 75

DONE

I am taking AUD 5/25. I know on REG I also used research tab for other SIMS. Last time I took AUD I hadnt studied, but it was expiring and I dont remember a thing from that exam!

In my opinion, the research tab is the secret… I mean, they have it there available for a reason.
