Hi all,

I am taking REG in two days. I am getting 80% or better on comprehensive MCQ’s and just took the AICPA Sample Test. It looks like I am pretty prepared.. but I am still worried about the REG Sims.

The only consistency I’ve found in reading other people’s exam experience and advise is to utilize the Authoritative Lit. function wisely. I wanted to hear from community members who have passed, failed, and are currently preparing for REG. Anyone’s input is welcomed and encouraged. 🙂

A few questions are:

1) What are some strategies that you guys use for quickly finding what you are looking for in the Auth. Lit. sections?

2) Do you just click the section/subsections to find the item you are looking for?

3) Do you utilize the ‘Search’ or ‘Advance Search’ functions?

4) How do you determine the key terms or criteria when you read a section?

5) Are there any unique fields that you’ve found effective within the ‘Advanced Search’ function?

***Asking for strategies in general terms, not exam disclosures of course. :)***

Any tips for navigating these areas would be greatly appreciated. It definitely looks like Becker’s Auth. Lit. is a cliff notes version of the real thing (compared to the AICPA’s sample test).

10/13/13 - FAR *PASSED* 76
12/01/13 - AUD *PASSED* 84
01/09/14 - BEC *PASSED* 84
02/27/14 - REG *PASSED* 81

I tried searching some info on AL for other sims but that didn't go well for me, it was a waste of time.

FAR - 71, 68, 74, (8/31/14) 78 ✔
REG - 67, 71, 71, (10/18/14) 78 ✔
BEC - (11/29/14) 86 ✔
AUD - 73, (4/4/15) 86 ✔

I can't believe this is over! 2 years and 3 months..
