Several of us ended up reaching out to Intuit. We have been in contact with
the project manager. She took our comments and is supposed to be reviewing
the exam with the development team. That was the status a month ago. Efforts
to get an update on their status has failed.
In the meantime, make sure you leave your detailed feedback in the course
locker page so that the project manager will see more people making the same
comments. Leave very detailed, question specific comments. I also do not
suggest trying to pass the exam again.
I don't think it is passable. Not because the exam is hard but because there
are too many unknown variables. For example any questions that require
allocating expenses to classes the number of decimal places used in the
percentages was not specified. Your final answer will vary depending whether
you use 2, 3, 4 etc places. We have no idea how many places they developers
used when setting up the computerized grading system.
If you have any contacts at Sleeter and/or Intuit try reaching out to them
for help. The project manager is taking too much time to correct this
problem.

Laura, I am also trying the exam. There are some questions that are
just very very strange. There are so many assumptions, and some
questions are so ambiguous, its makes it very difficult. I am looking
at one question where they ask for adjustments to a trial balance, and
nothing looks wrong except for maybe the sales tax, and its for 6
points - doesn't make sense. I couldn't agree with you more about this
exam - I really hope they sort it out. Unfortunately, for us first-
timers it really is a bit of a waste of time trying to work through an
eroneous exam. I wish we could get more help on this.
