    I am confident I did not pass. I felt very blindsided by what appeared in the exam.

    Any good recommendations for SIM practice review courses/test bank?

    The best advise I can give on the SIMS is to look at the authoritative literature when answering each question. Even if the question does not require the AL. I would suggest focusing on how to research the information, not on the type of questions they can ask.

    Learn how to search for key words to narrow your results as much as possible instead of spending 20 minutes reading all the search results.

    EDIT: On both my passes for REG and AUD, I scored above avg on sims, so IF you can grasp the concept of finding the answer instead of knowing every answer, it will help you get as much of those 40 points as possible. And each point you get on sims is 1 less point you need from the MCQ.
