2. Not following the directions. Each simulation direction will clearly explain what needs to be done in that specific sim. Unfortunately, most candidates unfollow the directions and miss crucial steps. For example, if you are doing certain journal entries and there is a blank where no entry is needed, the instructions will state whether to enter “0” or leave the entry completely blank. You may lose points by not following specific directions and putting a blank where a “0” should be. So, take time to read the directions of every CPA Exam question to achieve a good score.
