    How many practice exams should a test taker sit through to be comfortable? I have my exam next week, and was thinking of doing one AICPA and one RogerCPA practice exam before March 9th. Is that enough?

     

    AUD - 75

    REG - 76

    BEC - 85

    FAR - 81

    What exam?
    I did the Roger practice for FAR. Its good to evaluate time, but I was done after about 2.5-3 hours, and the SIMs are no where near the actual exam SIMs. I ran out of time on the actual exam in comparison. Practice exams are best used to evaluate speed on the MCQ testlets.
    I did not do practice exams for AUD REG or BEC.

    The AICPA samples are not full length, but I would encourage you to work through both the 2017 and 2018 versions. Some questions repeat, but there is at least one extra SIM on the 2018 sample.

    FAR-93 11/9/17 (10wks, 250 hrs, Roger 1800+ MCQs, Gleim TB 600+MCQs, SIMs)
    AUD-88 12/7/17 (3 wks, 85 hrs, Roger 1000 MCQs no SIMs hail mary)
    REG-96 1/18/18 (6 wks, 110 hrs, 1400 MCQs, no SIMs)
    BEC-91 2/16/18 (4wks, 90 hrs, 1240 MCQs)

    Sorry, was talking specifically on AUD. Thought my signature would show at the bottom that I'm taking AUD on March 9.

    I'm taking AUD tomorrow. I did 2 practice exams and I have done over 2,000 MQC on NINJA. I did the AICPA sample tests 2x and did the 2017 and 2018 ones as the other poster mentioned since I too noticed the 2018 has more than the 2017 example. I feel prepared but I anything is possible…

    Almost there

    AUD- 74 (2012), 72 (4/20/16)
    BED- 7/6/16
    REG- TBD
    FAR- TBD

    Going to be completely up to the individual person. I never did a full-length practice exam. If you struggle with time management or feel like you're slow then they are probably more helpful. I finished both my exams with over an hour left on the clock.


    FAR - 97 (10/12/17)
    BEC - 95 (01/15/18)
    AUD - 88 (04/06/18)
    REG - 89 (11/16/18)

    Yeah, the practice exams are only good to see how your stamina is in terms of the actual test…I would strongly recommend doing the AICPA sample test though.
