@CPAMommyof3, Thanks so much for the encouragement. I'll look at both Wiley book and Ninja mcqs! Congrats on passing all 4!!
@wr8280 – Thanks! I'll think of it that way from now on. I would try to understand the *why*'s instead of just memorizing. Did so well in my classes – A in every single tax class (except one – A-). I feel so embarrassed to face my former professors & others, who were in my classes. ah well. it's just ego..
@Tre – Thanks for the tips. I like them! I do talk to myself! =) Guess, I didn't do enough! I wrote notes on why I made a mistake and even when I got a question right. I think the problem was that I still didn't have a strong enough foundation at the end – it had been months since I visited certain topics. I felt like I had forgotten everything the night before the exam. This time, I'm going to start over again as if I had never seen any of the material. Def. going to invest in ninja mcq. Thanks, Tre!
@acctaks – my performance from last time stated that I was strong in most areas such as indiv, corp, and blaw, weak in partnership. I think weak in sims too. I was DEFINITELY weak in SIMS this time! I got (2) research questions right – for sure, but I knew I messed up on the other ones. I can pretty much tell which mcqs I got wrong as well. Several of them I wanted to kick myself for answering them wrong!! but I felt that I did pretty well on those “weak” areas this time. I saw a couple of questions on this forum addressing some of the mcqs and one SIM question. I was in pain!! =( Can't believe I messed up! Ah well. I'm looking forward to the REG forum! Thanks in advance for sharing!
To all who passed, Congrats!! To all who didn't, come cry with me!
