I am studying for REG for the third time and using Yaeger 2011. I have the Wiley 2012 & 2011 books. In Yeager, there are 3 hours of videos on estate tax and a whole chapter in Wiley for 2011. There are just a couple of pages in the Wiley 2012. Should I just read the Wiley 2012 and skip the 3 hours of video? I am confused about whether these estate tax laws are still in effect or not.

I have the current version of Yeager along with the Wiley book. I would just read it, do all the multiple choice in the book, do the Wiley online test bank questions, and get Jeff's notes. That will be more than enough. While the lectures are beneficial, I really wouldn't worry about them for this section of the exam.

Also, the estate laws that will be on the test are the laws in the 2012 Wiley book. That means exclusion of 5 million for the estate tax.

If you know the material in the ninja notes – you're good to go. Reinforce with Wiley MCQs. I wouldn't spend 3 hours watching estate tax vids. It should involve maybe 30 minutes max studying the ninja outline…and then application via MCQs.
