So my REG Becker class is ending on Sunday. I’m taking REG on July 3rd. I have three weeks to review, which seems like a really long time. I would rather have two weeks. I feel like seven weeks is too much time between beginning and end, but I want to make the best of it.

As I see it, I have a bunch of options and I was wondering if anyone who has passed REG could give me some advice.

This is my tentative plan:

1. Take a practice test in Becker to see what I’ve retained

2. Rewrite the ninja notes in week 1. (Should I be doing this as a final review in week 3 instead? I dont know)

3. Rewatch the B-Law lectures and do a ton of B-Law MCQs in week 2

4. Take another Becker practice test

5. Rewatch the tax lectures and do a ton of tax MCQs in week 3

6. Eat lots of doritos, drink lot of coke, cry intermittently

7. Take another Becker practice test at the end of week 3

8. Crush REG, see it driven before me, hear the lamentations of its women.

Thoughts? advice? The first time I took REG I was doing it with Bisk books alone and had never take any tax class other than individual (so I was basically trying to teach myself corporate, partnership, estate, gift, etc. for the first time). I already feel so much more prepared than I did then, but I don’t want to get a false sense of security.

What about your simulations practice? I would do SIMS…know them inside and out, and focus your energy on all tax related topics!

I quite like #6 🙂 I think I would lean more heavily on tax than business law though (from what I hear). Good luck, I only have 2 weeks schuduled for my final review and I hope that's enough time!

Thanks for the advice! Yeah, I'm going to look at tax sims during my week of tax review. I think one of the things that led to my abysmal failure last time was that I spent a bunch of time on b-law and individual taxation then hardly had any time (maybe 2-3 days) to go over all of corporate and partnership taxation. This way I am going to go over b-law first so I'll be really fresh on tax stuff. As of tomorrow I will have gone over everything at least once, including all Becker MCQs… I think I can pass this, I am just nervous about having three whole weeks without the structure of Becker, so I'm trying to build my own structure ahead of time.

Ya 3 weeks seems like a long time, almost half the time you study. But to redo all 7 chapters worth of multiple choice and simulations is a lot of work. You'll be fine without the Becker structure, don't worry. I think once you start to get through it all again a second time and you can see how much more you're getting right, you'll start to feel more confident. It's amazing what you actually do remember, even though you probably started with chapter 1 two months ago! Really, if you spend 2 days on each chapter and a couple days for sims/practice exams, your test will be here before you know it!
