what should I do now, retake in early June or retake at the end of April? thanks

either way you won't get your score until June, is this your last section? are you on the clock for any sections? I would give yourself sufficient time to fill in the gaps and retake it to pass. No need to rush and fail again….

I just passed REG on the first try with an 86! Not sure what your original study strategy was or the platform you used (I used Becker), but I would HIGHLY recommend flashcards for REG. In my opinion, memorization is huge for this test. After doing ALL the multiple choice and SIMS, rewrite flashcards and repeat those facts over and over again! REG is difficult because there often isn't a connection/reason for a particular exemption/ phase-out etc.. being what it is, but if you can repeat, rewrite and remember success will come!

@Julia

What was your prep time for REG?

[Julia]

5 week prep time. I just graduated with my masters and am not working yet so I was studying full time about 30 hours a week

If I were you I'd retake it in April, whatever the last day of the test period is. You'd be studying an additional 60 plus hours on top of what you've done already. And at least now its all still fresh to you.

@cpa222 Take it in April. Keep studying; don't switch gears. Change your study methods as needed, and knock it out next month. REG was my nightmare. Took 4 attempts to pass. My scores were: 66, 67, 70, 77.

Good luck!
