I haven’t started studying yet for REG, but was looking ahead and skimming the 2012 Becker updates for the 2011 Becker course, which is what I’ll be using. I can’t help but notice how so many of the credits, deductions, phase-outs, etc have changed. It seems like this would affect the lectures/questions since they’ll still be using the old amounts, and that it could get confusing. I know that I’ve read that many people have used the 2011 to pass in 2012, but I can’t help but worry about all of the amounts changing. For example, in the 2011 Becker, I’m assuming that the HW questions will all be using the out of date rules and amounts. Can someone please calm my fears? Lol. REG is my last exam and I want to pass on the first try.

Just for reference, below are links to the Becker updates, which is what caused me to panic. So many amounts changing!

I am in the same boat as you, Cake. Although I am confident the 2011 material will test the same concepts, I am hesitant to use this software now realizing how many things have changed for 2012. I really don't want to buy the new software, so I will most likely continue on with the outdated questions and make a mental note as to the updates. I feel that Becker should offer a software update for us on the HW questions at least.

How did you decide to proceed? Is there anyone else out there that has ran into this dilemma?

I'm still not sure what I'm going to do. Was hoping some more people would respond who have already taken it.

I am in the same boat. I have printed the updates but it is such a pain to go back and change every little thing if they wont be testing over it. I hope someone out there has some better advice than me.

There's gotta be someone out there who can give us an answer…anyone?

Since it looks like no one knows for sure, I think I am just going to pony up and spend a few hundred buy the 2012 Becker REG, just to be safe. It'll be worth it if I pass…
