Just took my first exam 2 weeks ago, and I was absolutely baffled by the research question. Not just stunned or shocked – completely clueless. I burned about 16 minutes trying to find an answer, and found NOTHING. Ihave since looked at my Wiley software, and also have not been able to find an answer.

Has anyone else encountered this? All the review questions I did were S-I-M-P-L-E; take the main topic of the question >> enter it in the ‘search’ box >> find your answer in a few minutes.

I really wish I could discuss the question with someone (knowing that I can’t, obviously) just because it’s been eating away at me a little more each day.

What was even more bizarre was the format of the question (or lack thereof) – it wasn’t even a question at all. It hadn’t even the slightest hint of a question within it; just two sentences.

Imagine this as your research question:

“Gary has a house. Gary is your cousin.”

Then right below that statement it says “go ahead and use the tab above to find the correct section.”

I just want someone to tell me I’m not alone here. (Haha)

I encountered same like you in my firs-FAR exam as well. But for the next time, i practiced lots of Research Based Simulations and treat them like other SIMs. Thankfully i got it right next time and more to that i got two research based simulation on my second exam. I think making strategy on how to look for research question in the literature is important. Before i was bad on research but now i actually enjoy looking at literature for solutions.

Are the research questions the ones where it asks where to find in the codification the answer to some question and you just need to type in the section numbers?

I've found the same thing with CPAexcel in that they're (mostly) super easy and am perplexed, because I know they can't/won't be that easy on the actual exam.

AUD - 77
BEC - 85
FAR - 84

I'm done!!
