I would agree that the questions on the exam are much less computational than those in Becker. I honestly don't fully remember if the number of calculations increased in my second and third testlests, I believe they did though. I did notice a small increase in difficulty in my second testlet and my third seemed about the same as my second. I marked more questions for review in those testlets than in the first.

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.
My test was the same way. I was praying for a nice quiet theory question and I would get some off the wall calculation where I had to calculate one figure just to get to the formula to solve the problem. I walked out practically in tears! I had an 1 hr 5 minutes for both sims. I really screwed up the communications. I should have done them first but I didn't.
