    Are the SIMS checked for formulas? Usually I will get to an answer using the scratch notes and then hard-code the value in. Does this matter, or are you supposed to be inserting the numbers on how you derived your answer?

    AUD - 68, 82
    REG - 48, 68, 81
    FAR - 60, 70, 73, 77

    The computer only checks the number you input. You won't have an option to enter the formula you used. You are going to have to make sure you get the right number. So really double check your work for SIMs. However, if you can get partial credit on the SIMs, its not all or nothing.

    No, the REG exam I took was unlike my FAR. In the FAR Sims it has you using the Excel feature quite a bit and it makes sense to use formulas to complete, say, a table of some sort. The REG Sims didn't require a lot of calculations, more like they gave you the numbers and you need to know which numbers go where. It's harder than it sounds, LOL.
