    I’m doing Wiley and it seems like you have to round up everything. I’m just wondering if I leave .xxx, the AICPA software will count it as wrong.

    Any tip on rounding the answers on sims?

    Thanks

    FAR 5/14 88 PASSED!
    REG 7/13 74 :((((((((....! I cant believe it!!!! I studied so hard...
    REG retake 11/29 -> 89!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    BEC 10/11/12 -> 84!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    AUD 10/25/12 -> 95!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm DONE! OMG 8 months of hard work.

    I SHALL PASS. BECAUSE IT'S ME, SO EVERYTHING WILL BE OK!

    I think, and I'm vaguely remembering something that someone else posted, that you are supposed to use usual rounding rules on the exam if it is an issue. I will do some research on this and post tomorrow because now I'm curious.

    It will tell you how to round on the real exam, usually to the nearest whole number unless it's a ratio.

    FAR - Feb 2012 - 86
    BEC - Apr 2012 - 85
    AUD - Apr 2012 - 89
    REG - May 2012 - 78

    @sapper is correct! If it's a MCQ that requires rounding, it wills say something like: “pick the closest number” or “what is the appoximate or closest value”

    If it's a SIM, it will also tell you how and when to round.
