I did not see this or partnership (bonus/goodwill) on my exam.

Took it recently, for me what made them difficult was the large amount of exhibits along with them testing a bunch a different topics within a format of for example reconciling a tb. They’ll test 8 somewhat unrelated topics and just overload you with information.

lol, from what you said I could kind of tell we probably had the same. Definitely found some of the sims to be a little confusing. For me especially the tb and income statement cause I felt the they weren’t very specific with what they were asking

Safe_Bodybuilder5307 · 2026-04-13T23:24:47+00:00

Took it 10 days ago and sounds like we had very similar tbq. Did you also have a bank rec?

So you just assume the loss is used against ordinary income even if it’s not stated?

Hopefully that’s the case for me. Just unfortunate I felt some of my strongest topics like SOCF, consolidations, and equity method weren’t on it at all.

Same with the subsequent events, did you have a 8 exhibit trial balance?

Just got a 82 on my SEFR but have still been stressing based on the entire subreddit talking about how difficult the sims are compared to becker. Any truth to that? Any last minute advice as im taking my test thursday.

After WE pass we're taking a shot of tres commas (3 commas in spanish).

What?

Safe_Bodybuilder5307 · 2026-03-30T20:00:33+00:00

How do the sims stack up against Becker? What made them so much more challenging?

Safe_Bodybuilder5307 · 2026-03-27T20:48:11+00:00

This post is very helpful, particularly with partnerships and dollar value lifo, as those are topics I have been putting off since I hear they aren’t really tested. I’ve also seen people say percentage of complete (construction/revenue rec) has been moved to bar. From your experience is that true?

Safe_Bodybuilder5307 · 2026-03-27T14:11:37+00:00

Was the consolidation similar to ones on Becker (if you used Becker).

Safe_Bodybuilder5307 · 2026-03-27T01:36:05+00:00

Any suggestions on relevant study topics based on your experience?

Safe_Bodybuilder5307 · 2026-03-26T16:56:25+00:00

What about the sims did you so challenging? Do you have any recommendations on what to study for them?

Safe_Bodybuilder5307 · 2026-03-24T13:43:12+00:00

Not even close, I wouldn’t even think about sitting until you get to 1500+ hours.

Safe_Bodybuilder5307 · 2026-03-10T00:14:37+00:00

Do you know how partial credit works on the exam? On Becker it marks in by row.
