No, I was saying Becker overprepared me for certain things and not other things. There was a lot of material I studied from chapters 1 – 3 (and even chapter 5) that wasn't on the exam. I spent almost a week reviewing those chapters, not to mention hundreds of questions. Anyway, I'm probably thinking about it too much, and I don't want to violate AICPA disclosure rules. Just prepare as much as you can, for everything. But don't be disappointed if 5% of what you study actually appears on the exam.
There are three tasks in the writing section. One of them doesn't count. It's similar to the simulations for FAR, AUD, and REG – one of them is a pre-test question and doesn't count in your grade. What I did was pick the strangest task, the one I thought was most likely to be a pre-test question, and gave it minimal effort. Like I said before, it was probably a stupid move, but it's over now. I'll find out in a month if that was the correct move…
