Becker Question –

Anyone have feedback on whether the optional practice questions should be completed in REG? I found they introduce confusion for me when studying for FAR and did not use them.

Anyone have an opinion one way or the other for REG?

I find the optional questions as a good way to go through some fresh questions in the final week leading up to the exam. I did not do them for R-8 though – I only did half of the HW for that one as it contains alot of material which Becker felt was very unlikely to appear on the exam.

Bottom line: I'd definitely recommend doing the optional questions on the Tax and Ethics (R-1 through R-5)

FAR - 7/1/13 - 98
AUD - 8/31/13 - 94
BEC - 11/23/13 - 89
REG - 1/13/14 - 86

Thanks for the advice. I will work on Optional Practice Questions for R1-R5. Correct?

I personally found them to be a big waste of time. Though, admittedly, I did them all for only REG. It's up to how you feel about the material.

If you have time, I do recommend doing them. If you don't, then focus on the main stuff. You may or may not come across a question testing you on the same concept of those optional questions.

REG - 72, 72, 81
BEC - 77
FAR - 70, 81
AUD - 74 "so that's what it feels like." Round 2: 79

Passing the exam is not impossible task. GIVING UP is the only way YOU can make it impossible!
