Does the this section consist of alot of math. I am concerned that I will not be able to finish the test. What percentage of the test uses math and do these questions go into detail? Finally, are the becker questions harder than the CPA questions? Thank you.

I think the tests are totally random. On my exam i did have a lot of calculation type problems. Other people sound like they had mostly theory questions. I ran out of time, and wasn't able to do the 2nd simulation. It's all the luck of the draw i guess.

The AICPA has a report you should read about how the exams are constructed and scored.
