    1. (If you’re using Becker only) Focus on what was mentioned in lecture and/or underlined or read aloud. If you memorize this information, you will probably pass (really good chance I’d think). I mean, read the other stuff at least once, but focus your energies on the stuff in lecture and underlined etc.

    2. When you’re in the exam, set ample time for the SIMS. The fastest I finished my SIMS took 1.5 hours. ALSO! USE THE RESEARCH TAB TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS!!!! You probably won’t know exactly how to solve the SIMS question from memory. You should use the research function to figure out how to work it if this is the case. The research function should not be limited to only the research question!

    Good luck. I hope that helps someone! 🙂

    Oh, and btw, today I realized I just finished this process. Yay!

    Thats why i guess becker charges 3500 dollars as compared to 500 dollars for other reviews. Their highliting with yellow is worth that much :)_

    ALso i agree with you about using the research tab when doing simulations. but, remember regulation is just 3 hours, and people are tight on time. i would advise caution during regulation, since i was burned last time trying to be so dependent on research tab, that i missed 2 tabs.

    Its ok to use research on Audit & FARE, since they are 4 & 4.5 hrs exams.

    In my opinion, read EVERYTHING. Especially if you are using 2011 material, don't skip the ancillary material in R4, very very important. Read each chapter twice and work all MCQs at least 2-3times.

    Don't apply for all the NTS at once, you never know when your plans might change due to failing grade or just life. I wasted two NTS because of failing scores. Don't make that mistake!! Apply for two at once:)

    Be ready to be miserable. As Peter O says, “the more miserable you are, the better chance you have of passing.” It holds true for me!

    This is possible, though it may seems it's not sometimes…it really is! Never give up and just keep moving forward!
