UGHHHHHH!!!!!

That’s all I can say right now!

74 – It’s like listening to a bad song over and over in my mind.

All my fellow 74 friends feel free to vent!

REG, you will not get the better of me! Come January, I’m finishing you off.

BEC: (54), (72), 80 (losing credit on 02/02/15 - nervous)
AUD: 78
REG: (74), 91
FAR: (71)

That is a matter of preference. Personally, I watched the videos and took notes in the NINJA notes and then I went back chapter by chapter and worked through MCQs and Sims. It can't hurt, that's for sure. =)

Mary28 I got a 74 twice in a row on BEC! I supplemented with Wiley and really dedicated myself the third time (not gonna lie, the first time I barely made it through the materials once prior to the test) and got a 78. Keep pushing! Flashcards also really helped me with all the ratios in the last sections of Becker.

BEC - 78 8/14
AUD - 79 7/14
FAR - TBD 10/15
REG - TBD 11/15

*Not shown: the painful fails, including an excruciating twice earned membership to the 74 club and an expired BEC credit.

Oh and by supplementing with Wiley I mean with MCQ's. I did them until I couldn't see straight and I really think that's what pushed me over the edge, as the first two times I spent more time reading/reviewing.

Thanks Baxter CPA for the reply and @jdubb416 do you think that the Wiley TB can get me those extra points?

Mary28: I use Wiley TB and the one thing I like about it…ALOT…is that as you finish one sim you get the answer instead of having to do a series of 7 sims as in Gleim. I also have Gleim Online which comes with a test bank and a Sim Wizard and what I love about Gleim is that it has 20 study modules and each module has subsections so you can really hit your weak spots. With Wiley TB, you just get questions on a particular topic but you can't drill down within that topic.

Both excellent test banks but have different advantages and disadvantages. and yes…they can bring you extra points.

Hang in there. A 74 likely means you just need to retain the knowledge you have and strengthen up in the areas where you have identified weaknesses. I have gotten a 74 and a 73 on FAR and if I don't pass this last time I took it I know I have to hash over my weak areas and I'll do just fine. I have faith in you.
