I’m studying for REG using Becker and sitting in 3 weeks – I’ve gone over the corporate tax chapter multiple times, worked the questions, re-read the chapter, took notes, etc., and CANNOT get the hang of these concepts to save my life! I’m doing absolutely terrible on the homework questions, and there’s so much information in the C-Corp chapter, I’m confusing rules/exceptions/calculations, etc. I’m not willing to let this get the better of me, so I was wondering if any of you had a similar experience while studying, and if you were able to find a way to overcome it? I’m hoping I’m not the only one experiencing this! Sooo frustrating!

@Audrey – I've been doing the same thing – although, since I'm getting practically every question wrong, it's proving to be quite time consuming. You're right though, we can do this! @Stephe49 – It's a total beast! It's definitely more of a challenge for me than anything else. Hoping I can get the hang of this. 19 days to go…

I'm taking REG on Monday and had the same hang ups with R-3 and R-4. Just keep pounding the MCQ's and don't stress over how good you are doing on the Homework. Better to learn from the mistakes now than to make them in 3 weeks when it matters. 3 weeks is plenty of time. Break it up into pieces (formation, operation, taxation, distribution, liquidation) and become solid on each individual piece before moving onto the next. Try to keep it as simple as possible by learning the major information/keypoints and everything else will fill itself in.
