So I failed REG with a 63!! It was a like a slap in the face considering how I thought the exam went. MCQ’s were tricky but not too bad. SIMS were doable and I actually completed them all. Anyways, back to the drawing board. What’d you guys change in your study plans? I used Becker and Ninja MCQ, as a supplement. For the retake, do I go back and do non-stop MCQ’s? Do I read the book? Is Ninja Audio helpful?

Another question is, when to retake the test? I don’t want to drag this but don’t want to rush it either. Help!!!!:((

Missed Reg by a few points, November score release, jumped right back in and planned to take it when the window first opened. Re did the Becker lectures and re-read the book did all mcq, did all the ninja mcqs (logged tons of hours there),, purchased the Gleims simuliations (only) i found them very helpful. We will see in a few days how this plan worked. Good Luck to you all.

@Tux…I only passed BEC and FAR on the first try. I failed AUD the first time because I was dual studying for BEC and AUD. I only gave myself two weeks between the two tests and was completely burnt out for AUD and barely studied during those two weeks. I failed REG the first time by six points. I only used a test bank for my first shot. I didn't read the book and that was critical for me on tax. I also focused too much on my strong areas because it made me feel more confident. On my second attempt I pounded my weak areas until I understood them. I know that if I studied for both of the firat attempts like I did for the retakes I could have passed them all on the first try. I let burn out and lazziness affect my studying and it showed in my scores.
