So i took my exam on 2/22. I had mixed feelings about the SIMS, and I believe that this section is where I came up short.

Any advice on how to tackle on the SIMS?

On exam day I felt good about the MQs but my SIMS were very difficult , tried using the AL but I just could not get the response/help to help me on the 2 sims that I had problems with.

It is busy season for me but I would definitely look to put 20 hours a week until the end of April because my REG expires on 4/30. Possible exam date 4/25

Extremely upset because I am terrified of the fact that my credit will expire and I can take 2 steps back in a blink of an eye.

For my third go at AUD I bought the ninja notes and copied ten pages a day every single day. In 30 days I had copied them three times over. Also did 50-100 mcq a day. It was exhausting but got me an 84.

@mla11692 Thanks!! I appreciate the advice. I was debating on whether to use the notes or the audio…I do have a 40min everyday. But writing notes are better than just listening.

honestly really focus on those SIMS, lots of adjusting journal entries from my experience too are in the SIMS. if you feel your original study material is not doing it for you then i agree with mla11692 to supplement with Ninja materials. i personally made sure to go back and do every single SIM becker threw at me and do it more than once so i could really get a feel for it because that was what killed me.

@ jessica8926 thank you!! I printed all the SIMS from Becker before my exam on 2/28 (ch. 4 had 28 of them!) but I did not go over every single one of them because I obviously now see that I made the mistake of focusing on the MQs too much.

I am definitely going to take your advice and focus on every single SIM. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!
