I originally planned on taking REG in November but some work issues came up and I have to postpone the test to January.

I already bought Becker 2013 and final review. Anyone know if it’s still enough to prepare for the 2014 exam?? Does REG book change much from year to year?

Thank!

What part of accounting do you work in?

I haven't heard of any major changes to the REG exam, but some figures will probably update. I'm just getting to the tax part in my book, so not sure how many limits and such are a part of the exam, but given that those change most years, I would expect that the 2014 exam would be updates with the figures for the 2013 tax year. So, if you work in tax, those figures will probably be second-nature anyway; if not, you might want to brush up on them.

My impression from reading around here, though, is that the test is not as much about specific figures as the lasting concepts.

They are already testing on 2013 rates, so the exam probably won't change much until the 2014 tax year changes come in late next year. The list of the updates are here: https://beckerkb.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1067/kw/update
