I am currently studying for REG, and am not where I would like to be in my studies. I have only finished reading 1/2 of my book, and have 680 questions to mull through. My plan was to take REG on 2/26/14, but I am now having doubts. I see two options in my future, and am seeking an opinion from the group. Just a little background, I passed REG about 2 years ago, and work in tax on a regular basis. I actually like doing taxes. Here are my options:

1) Buckle down, stop reading the book, and work the MCQ’s. Taking notes on the 680 MCQ’s, and attempt to finish by 2/17. Rewrite my notes, and review until the exam on 2/26/14 @ 12:00. Similar to Jeff’s 20 day FAR experience.

2) Reschedule, finish the material while working 60+ hours a week, and trying to spend a little time with my family(wife & 2 kids). Take the exam on 4/1/14. I believe my boss would actually let me take a weekday to take the exam. Downside, my test bank access ends on 4/22/14 for REG and FAR.

Suggestions? Comments?
