Mastering Simulations

Tackling Task-Based Simulations

Simulations ask you to apply knowledge to real situations, such as drafting a memo or analyzing data.

  • Read Instructions Fully: Don’t miss a detail.
  • Organize Your Thoughts: Use outlines or bullet points.
  • Show Your Work: Even partial answers can earn points.
  • Review Carefully: Check for errors and completeness.

Real-World Relevance

Practicing simulations builds the problem-solving skills needed for both the exam and your future career.

Examples

  • Drafting a clear client memo in response to a simulation prompt.

  • Breaking down a complex scenario step-by-step for maximum points.
