Becker Question –

So after my first not-so-great practice exam which can be found here https://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/reg-practice-1-need-advice/, I decided to take the 2nd practice exam. And here are my results.

Testlet#1 24/24 = 100%
Testlet#2 23/24 = 95%
Testlet#3 19/24 = 79%

SIMS#1 100%
SIMS#2 100%
SIMS#3 67%
SIMS#4 100%
SIMS#5 20%
SIMS#6 100%

I thought during exam#1 I kinda rushed through the exam and didn’t check any of my MCQs answers and had 1.5 hour left. However, same thing happened during 2nd exam. Every first go of every question I was able to come up with an answer and at the end I still had 1.5 hour left again. Exam is scheduled for 8/26. What are your thoughts guys? What should I be doing at this point. I think my week areas are in bankruptcy (preferential transfers in particular) and estate and trust (what and when is taxable and all that..)

Any advice guys? Thanks!

I will say I felt like the Authoratitive Literature provided for REG was the most usual out of all four tests for me. I know it helped me double check and correct my answers for at least two of my sim questions. If you can practice and get good at searching for tax code you can easily reference it while working your sims to check your answers.

As for the research question, I've always used the advanced search feature. I think it really narrows the results nicely. I ‘think' I went 2 for 3 on research questions. I know I got it wrong for FAR, know I got it right for REG, and I am pretty confident I got it right for AUD.

First go at the CPA! Only using Becker
