hey guys! So I was just wondering if within a test window everyone is given the same SIMS?

No, the SIMS are not the same for everyone … they may have a certain set of SIMS they use per quarter, but I don't know that is what they do. I would wager that they are randomly pulled from a pool of thousands, but I am sure there is more logic behind it so everyone has an equal chance to pass.

okay thank you so much! so I shouldnt be worried then? because I even called this CPA central contact line and this lady said that they are all the same per testing window but that doesnt make sense since mine was completely different.

Well no one should know this since there are non disclosure rules. I have heard the SIMS are the same, but I would never contact someone about this, because the only way you would know is by disclosing the contents of your exam which could disqualify you from ever getting your license.

That's weird … I think she must have meant that they have certain sets that they are using each window.
