Hi Allyson and Lynn
any cpa course providers are provding just review, no one can guaranttee you that simulations how it is presented in there material will be presented in same way, and moreover Cpa Exams are how students understand the concepts, whether they will be in a position to apply the law in real life thats what they test, and if you know the concept you can solve any problem, there can be more than 1000 of variety of simulation, and if you wrote regulation in this window you might have observed simulations are not difficult it is what student dont expect, in reality they are not hard it is only not presented in any review material in the same way, but you know once this type of questions are released course review provider will include the same kind, and then again in next window you will see they will test something else or something new, these lifecycle continues, and the main purpose of short task based simulations are how students will apply knowledge based on the facts presented in small cases or scenarios. and iam sure topics on simulations are covered in becker text, we students just listen lecture and ignore other text material which is not right, what i say again we should not leave any topic in text we should cover 100% and more over we should have conceptual clarity.
hope this helps and clarifies
thanks
