How are Simulations Graded?
So I was working through an AUD progress test with Becker, and one of the simulations asked me what paragraphs of the audit report should be modified given for a few scenarios. When I looked over the results, Becker graded my sim as if I had gotten the entire scenario wrong, even though only I only got one or two of the parts wrong. In the question, I got the entirety of row 3, 4, and 5 wrong even though only a few of the cells were incorrect. I emailed Becker support about their grading and they told me that the AICPA grades the entire scenario row as incorrect even if I only got one part of the row wrong. Does anyone know if this is accurate? It doesn't seem accurate to grade an entire row of answers wrong because I got one cell wrong.

No one knows exactly how they are graded. My feeling is the initial grading of the SIM you posted might mark the entire thing as wrong and upon a second review partial credit will be given. That’s just my guess.
