    So I was weaker on sims, comparable on govt, nfp, and standards, stronger on financial statement accounts, but weaker in specific transactions. I guess if specific transactions was comparable, my 74 could have been a 76 even with weaker sims ahhh…anyway what questions I guess are they referring to when they say specific transactions/events?? I am taking a Becker break and hitting ninja mcq for my new date 1/13
