AnonymousInactiveHi everyone,
I strongly need some recommendation on how to study on my coming REG exam.
This is my fifth time taking REG. My last 4 times score was ( 69, 65, 69 and 71)
I am really stressed and have no clue on how to prepare the coming REG exam in April.
I use the Becker materials and have done those mcq for more than 10 times
which I could almost remember all those mcq answers.

KenadaMemberI would get the WTB test bank or Gleim's test bank. You need to have a new set of questions to practice. Also have you tried using CPAforfree ?
Also are you making your own notes? I find when I make my own notes things attach better to my brain.
Do you have the Ninja notes or Audio. I think it may help you better if you listed to Jeff's Audio constantly as it really reinforces the material in your head.
FAR 05/27/14; 786/110 - Done !

mystical guyMemberAs the reviewing partner I concur with @Insi..lol I was thinking the same thing suggested. Gleim Testprep is what I used to pass, the first try, no problem. Whatever approach you're using now you need to flush down the toilet and start afresh, trying something new.
1. When you're not reading/doing MCQs, listen to the Audio. If you wanna be crazy about this, listen to the audio while driving, working out, and with headphones while you're asleep. Listen until you become ANGRY at the audio. And listen some more until you know what the damn voice is gonna say next, but still, keep listening!
2. Get through the lectures quickly, taking the notes, and then practice 25 mcqs, for that chapter, until you get at least a 75%, before moving on to the next lecture. Always take notes about the mcqs you found challenging. You will re-write these notes during your final review, so take very good notes.
3. Once you've completed the groups of 25 mcqs from each chapter, now you're ready to combine all the chapters in “study mode” tests, where you get feedback immediately after answering the question. I took about 60-100 questions all at once, sometimes 300, when I was crazy. Take notes, again and again..keep going
4. Finally, by now, you've worked at least 3,000 mcqs. Start to re-write the notes, listening to the audio whenever you can.
5. Post difficult questions on this Forum to get a different perspective on the solution.
6. Re-write all the notes, take a diet of 100 question practice tests until the last day before the exam.

JasperMemberDo you record your scores for each chapter and then record an aggregate for the entire practice exam?
I have been using Wiley and recorded all my scores in a running spreadsheet. It helps in a sense to know which chapters you are making progress in and which one's you are struggling with. The ones you struggle in, study more.
Also, any questions you get wrong or any questions you answered correctly on a guess, study the answer explanation provided. Wiley provides descent answer explanations online and in their book.
If something doesn't make sense in the book, take notes on it and rewrite it so you can understand it.
When you get close to taking the exam, study the MCQ/SIMS answers you get wrong.
If I think of anything else, I'll include in another post.
