Ok, so with 3 hours time is going to be tight on REG.  How do you guys allocate time?  According to the CPA exam website, the MCQs are 70% of the total grade, the written communication is 10%, and the rest of the sim is 20%.  Now we all know that 75 is a passing score, but thats not percent correct so this info has limited usefulness but I'm basically trying to figure out how much time I should allocate to the non-communication part of the sim since I could see that part really sucking up a lot of my time.  I want to cover all my bases but I also don't want to allocate a disproportionate amount of time to something that is only 20% of the overall grade.  Suggestions?
