   I was just reading a post where the author said that they could use the research function to find answers on all of the simulations, not just the research simulation.

   Is it true that if I don't know the answer to a specific simulation, I can use the research function to find the answers?

   Thanks,

   Yes. That is correct. The research function is available for all SIMS... hint, hint.. USE IT!

   It is available for all SIMs but it isn't necessarily helpful for all SIMs. I had three on AUD that were nowhere to be found in the authoritative lit.

   Yes... Which is why I got such a good score on REG. Sometimes it was really difficult to find the what I needed in the literature, but I WAS able to find help after some time. Usually I didn't find straight answers to my questions - more like general guidance which I had to interpret.

   Hi u all,

   Just want to say that when i sat for Audit in August 2011 I found an entire report for one of my sims in the research section but the other 5 had nothing helpful and looked more like FAR than AUDIT. IMO yes you can use the research tab for sims other than the research sims and maybe or maynot find complete answers but you will find information that may jog your memory as to the correct answer to choose. It also takes takes a lot of time to find helpful information. I only sat for one test and this is my second time trying BUT I plan to try and answer the sims first by myself and them search through the research to check my answers. This way if you run out of time at least you wld have answered the sims already and maybe able to pick up point instead of leaving then blank because of time constraints.

   AUD - 58, 62, JULY
   FAR - MAY
   BEC - AUGUST
   REG - NOVEMBER
   IF U TRY AND U DONT SUCEED, TRY AND TRY AGAIN...GIVING UP IS NOT AN OPTION.

   Yeah, some SIMS you may be able to find in the research and others not so much. I had a couple that I was able to find in the research and then the others were more FAR related so they weren't in the research.

   Also, it takes a lot of time to search through the database. It can be a pain if you're not good at it. lol

   Doesn't work with BEC since there are no research questions, but it is very helpful with FAR/AUD (assuming REG also)

   FAR 7/30/11 - 78
   AUD 10/1/11 - 96
   BEC 11/26/11 - 85
   REG 2/25/12 - 81

   How the research function could help in all SIMs other than main research SIM? Does it mean that I can find JE's of specific topic over there or some guidance on cash flow statement classifications or topics and areas on leases, bonds and governmental accounting ...etc ??!

   any clue??

    Ali, the research function isn't necessarily helpful in all sims but it is available. And you aren't likely to find specific JE advice or even cash flow advice but if there is a rule you aren't sure of you might be able to find out with the sims what a rule is.

    FAR- 77
    AUD -49, 71, 84
    REG -56,75!
    BEC -75
    
    If I can do this, YOU can do this! Hang in there :)
