    I did not pass my first attempt at Regulation in November and am preparing for my rematch – anyone have advice on if my 2012 Becker materials will be sufficient or should I invest in 2013 materials?

    Thank you

    It feel surreal to be done with the exams! I think it is still sinking in.

    I believe the test does not change until July 1st. So if you can knock it out before then you should be good. And after July the only major changes I believe might crop up is the new taxes related to Obama care and a some of the exemption amounts. And from what I understand they try not to test on the amounts that change a bunch due to regulations the just test the concept… like yes you get a standard deduction to arrive at AGI but they are not going to ask you what the actual amount is. And if it is required for a question they will usually give you the amount.

    FAR - 81
    REG - 81
    AUD - 82
    BEC - 81

    FAR changed quite a bit in the later parts of Becker. I would assume something is different. And I think they knew about the trend towards concept vs computational question.

    B ~ 78 (04.02.12)
    A ~ 70 (08.31.12) ~ 77 (10.05.12)
    R ~ 81 (04.04.12)
    F ~ 65 (11.12.12) ~ 73 (02.28.13) ~ 77 (04.01.13)

    I heard that only Audit would change after the April/May testing window. You can use the 2012 material for the other 3 parts, in my opinion.

    AUD: 2/28/2013 - 86
    FAR: 10/19/2013 - 83
    REG: 1/6/2014 - 80
    BEC: 2/27/2014 - 81
