    I read on another post that you get 2 pencils and 4 pages of paper in the exam. Is that correct?

    That doesn’t seem like much for a 4 hour exam. I would love more paper and pencils.

    What’s the rule?

    FAR - 86 - 2/27/14
    AUD - 75 - 5/29/14
    BEC - 80 - 8/31/14
    REG - 89 - 2/27/15

    LOL @Mini….

    @Tux – The amount of paper you get is more than enough.. keep in mind you also get a built-in calculator and a built-in spreadsheet thingy for the SIMS.

    I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure you can request more paper if you use up what they first give you. However, if you do request more you have to give up the first set of papers.

    In all honesty though, even with FAR I think 4 pieces of paper are more than enough. Just my thoughts.

    Oh, and to echo what Minimorty said, your review course should tell you the magic words to use in order to get your meal choice delivered to your desk during the 3rd set of MCQ. 🙂

    I think dodgerdawg is right. I took Audit last week and the lady that walked me to my station told me that I could get more paper if I needed it, but I had to turn in the used ones first.

    My Prometric offers two number 2 pencils and four sheets front and back.

    If I run out of paper, then I beckon with my hand or snap my fingers to the staff. They bring more if needed. 😀

    I've taken all 4 sections and never used more than the first page of scratch paper. So yeah, 4 sheets of scratch paper is more than enough.

    the two exams ive taken i didnt touch the penciles or the paper and in fact for AUD i told the guy i didnt want it.. thats what the calculator and spreadsheet are for.. and rewriting what youve memorized is a waste of time.

    BEC - Passed
    REG - 7/21/2012
    AUD - 8/18/2012
    FAR - 11/10/2012
