Short recap: 74 on 2/28. Retaking 4/2 – less than two weeks. I feel like my last prep consisted of too much working strings of questions from individual sections/chapters. So, currently I'm going through the Becker Final Review and then taking Progress Tests from the regular software in blocks. Example: Doing 60 questions from 1-5 today and 90 from 6-10 tomorrow. It's definitely tough, but I feel it's more realistic to the way it's seen exam day.
Any one else tried this? Also, for those Becker folks – does anyone know how to mix the questions up? The Progress Tests will give you 10 from F1, 10 then 10 from F2, etc. Better than nothing I guess. Becker questions definitely get in the weeds a bit though, they throw in that one extra piece of info. that is not extremely realistic. Good practice, but not when trying to hit everything at a high level and see as much as possible. Hell, some Becker MC resemble SIMS which is fine but not for anyone with a life. Not realistic.
I found SIMS to be good practice, but they are so all over the board on exam day. While it would be great to work as many SIMS as possible, I'm not sure the time spent is the best bang for my buck given the amount of time it takes. So, I'm focusing on working through JEs and hitting the more likely SIM areas in further detail: consolidation, tax, acctg. changes, etc.
Any other thoughts for better prep are encouraged.
