    On my last Audit test I got weaker on SIMs. I am spending most of today doing practice SIMs. I have noticed when I am doing the practice SIMs in Wiley sometimes my answers get marked as wrong, but the answer is right. Example I just did a practice SIM on deprecation, My answers were right but I typed the numbers in to the cells (=30,000*.05) instead of typing in cell references (=D8*B8) and it market me as wrong even thought the answer is the same. Is this how the actual test is graded? I would think if I put in the correct calculation I would get market as correct. I want to make sure i do everything I can to pass. Is this just how Wiley grades the SIM or is this how it is graded on the test as well?

    A - 61, 91!!
    B - 78!
    F - 76!!!
    R - 71, 73, 74, 69, 77!!!!

    Finally done!

    This is my 2nd attempt at the exam, I had two parts passed (failed many) and I stupidly quit, big mistake. Now I'm back and with a vengeance!

    No. The actual exam doesn't care if you put in a formula or the figure.

    On my recent AUD exam, I had a SIM that specifically asked me to use formulas for all entries instead of just putting in the number. The directions said if I just put in numbers in the fields that it would counted as incorrect. Out of the three exams I have taken that was the only SIM like that. Unless the question states otherwise it should be safe to just put the numbers in the field.

    REG - 78
    AUD - 80
    BEC - 80
    FAR - TBD
