That is an excellent point that I never thought of.  This is why I love this forum, you get to see all kinds of perspectives on how to tackle this beast. 

auditor78, I did something similar to what Torgo did.......didn't practice sims much until the last week of review for FAR and that's when I went through each one in Becker to REVIEW to see where my weak areas were.  Once I knew where my weak areas were, I went back to the MCQ's related to that topic and drilled them over and over over again.  Financial was my first part so I probably went a little over board but as you can see by my score, with all of this studying I STILL ONLY BARELY PASSED!  So I don't think it would hurt to do them but just keep in mind that nine times out of ten, you won't see a simulation even remotely close to what the test has. 

Good luck!!!
