Taking REG in May.

I am currently using CPAExcel, Ninja notes and flashcards, and Wiley books.

I have been doing the sections assigned in CPAExcel during the day and reading the Ninja notes and flashcards in the evenings. I plan on using the Wiley books for questions closer to my exam.

This is my third attempt at REG. I passed the other three sections with only the Wiley books, so I am hoping that the supplemental material will help me pass this last one. I hope to get it done this quarter or I lose my AUD.

-I am taking what will hopefully be my last test. It will be attempt 3 at FAR

-My study plan this time is to really hammer MCQ and flash cards. I have been through the Becker lectures for FAR twice now and feel like I really need to get more serious about learning from the questions. Hopefully I win the Wiley test bank and get some new material to work with!

I have watched all of the videos, taken notes over the entire book (including ancillary material). I reinforce the concepts by running the lectures on my laptop while I am at work. I have read the Ninja notes a few times. I have also worked a few hundred MCQ's, I write out the answers to the ones that I get wrong or don't understand.. My final few weeks I will review all of my notes, take the final exams, and pound out MCQ's especially in my weak areas!!

AUD - Oct 2011 - 79
BEC - Feb 2012 - 84 (seriously thought I failed this one)
REG - May 2012 - 84 (hmmm.....do they actually grade the SIMS???)
