So it’s been a day since I sat for the REG exam…and WOW was it hard.
*Main takeaways for those yet to sit for the exam*Practice is important, but knuckle down on understanding the concepts AND memorizing the exceptions. MCQs should be used to familiarize yourself with the concept, and not necessarily the question format.
*Cry continues below*
The first mcq was medium-difficult, and atleast 11 questions flagged (lol). The second seemed slightly easier but by the end I had 18 questions flagged (lool). Ive been scoring well on sims so i thought ive made it past the worst.
How wrong I was.The TBSs were on another level altogether, testing areas that were quite challenging and somewhat unfamiliar. In total, I had probably only one research question.
The other 3 papers were a breeze, but since tax is a new area for me , I stuck to the well oiled process (or so i thought!) of preparation: understand the material, smash mcqs (80%) and review sims (20%). Rinse, repeat.
Hoping (somewhat naively) that luck goes my way and i pass. Best of luck to you all.
