In that context, yes, my becker MC questions were much more computational than the exam. Overall, I was still suprised how few calculations there were in the exam compared to the practice questions of becker.
But on the real exam, the calculation questions became more frequent in the second, and especially third testlet. I painfully remember, as I was running out of time in my third testlet, and kept hoping that the next question would be a simple word question, but it seemed almost every other question towards the end was a calculation. That third testlet was a big part of the reason why I ran out of time on the sims. I planned to save 1.5 hrs for both sims, and only had 1 hr 10 minutes. The last testlet killed my time. I'm really worried about my score, there were 3 tabs on both sims that I either didn't hardly input anything, or wasn't confident in my answers. If I had time, I could have figured it out but I was just spent.
Back to the MC, as long as you noticed some progression in the complexity of the questions, i wouldn't worry. Calculations don't necessarially mean it was more difficult, I had some very wordy questions that involved no computations...
