    I am using Wiley CPA prep. It has its weird rules to grade my answer. For example, it will treat my answer is wrong if I put 0.35 instead .35. I just wonder what the real CPA format requirement for TBS answers. I am going to take FAR on the coming Thursday. I really need this information before the exam.

    Thank you very much for help.

    As far as I've heard, the exam will not dock you for that. The review program is just more finicky, that's all. I hope that helps.

    @another81 I wouldn't worry about that. If you get an hour I would go take the practice test on the AICPA's website. If for no other reason then to get a feel for how their simulations are. I tried typing a negative sign (-) into one of the answers and a message popped up saying it was an invalid key and to use the (10) parentheses instead. For whatever reason Wiley's back end coding seems very finicky and messed up and I wouldn't pay a lot of attention to not formatting it the way they want it. When you look at their answers you want to make sure you're coming up with similar numbers to what they have though.
