Honestly, after taking the exam, I didn't think I got full credit on a single sim (hence all the crying after taking it lol). Even the research question, I wasn't sure about the right paragraph..it was one of those where it was asking for the tax treatment for a specific situation. I found the situation in one paragraph but in it, it said to refer to the treatment in paragraph (a)..but paragraph (a) didn't mention the situation. Research questions were always a confidence booster for me so I was bummed when I was unsure of what exactly they were looking for. As for the rest of the sims, there were probably 2-3 where I was initially excited and thought “okay, I got this one 100%”..and then when I kept reading through the docs, there were some additional info in it that threw me off & I couldn't tell if it was distracter info or not. I kinda wish we could see our exams after they're graded to see what we actually got full/partial credit on because I am still shocked! but not complaining 🙂
I really do think that these exams are a test of discipline more than intelligence. So if you put in the work consistently and tailor the study method to fit you, you can pass.
Not sure if that helped at all haha good luck to you both!
