    I remember on one of simulations I had on my exam today it instructed to enter 0 where nothing is needed. I think I forgot to enter them, will I get half of this simulation wrong because of this silly mistake?!

    Are you sure it asked you to enter 0? I had a couple SIMS that I left nearly 50% blank, but my recollection of the instructions were to leave them blank. I took FAR on Thursday so I've forgotten much of it already.

    Either way I wouldn't stress too much. The examiners know we are stressed in there and are capable of that oversight, and they should grade it accordingly. Total columns would have the most weight, and we may be docked a few points but not 50%.

    Unfortunately the sims are graded by a computer…so if the instructions stated to insert zeros and you did not, I'm not too sure if you would get credit for that particular TBS. I would guess most likely no, but hey, who really knows. Maybe the AICPA shows SOME mercy behind the scenes.

    Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.

    Any advice? I’m taking FAR tomorrow. Studying but it’s so much to absorb.

    Keep it high level, especially the night before. Review your flashcards and notes, but nothing too crazy. Don't psych yourself out! You probably know a lot more than you think.

    @Green my last FAR exam specifically instructed to leave cells blank where nothing goes there but each SIM may vary.



    @Tony73085
    don't wear yourself out before exam day. That's the biggest advice I can give to anyone. If you feel compelled to do a ‘final overview' best you do so on your weakest areas only.

    Yes I definitely remember it in the instructions, and Im almost sure I didnt fill it in. Question is just how its graded. I guess Ill hold my breath and pray for the best.

    I got one SIM that instructed me to fill in zeros if no amount is needed, and the rest of my SIMs told me to leave it blank.

    I don't know if they would give you credit anyway if you left it blank when they asked for zeros. You might not get credit, but hopefully you passed!

    I wonder if we can contact the AICPA and suggest they make all their instructions consistent.

    Actually I did pass with a great score. So I guess it doesnt have to much of an impact.
