If you go to the AICPA tutorial it gives you the basics for answering a research question and searching the literature. In general, I think it's easier to do a Boolean search rather than a search of the table of contents for REG. I used the split screen feature so I didn't have to keep flipping back and forth between the question and the literature. Using key words from the question I did a Boolean search and then scanned through the titles of the sections that came up for the one that most likely addressed my question. If I didn't find what I was looking for or if too many items came up, I revised my search by adding or subtracting key words, and/or changing to a synonym. Once I'd identified the section, I went through the paragraphs looking for my particular question. Even when I found one that seemed to fit, I scanned through the rest of the section to make sure another paragraph didn't fit better. I can't say this is true in all cases but in all three exams I've had with a research question the wording of the paragraph I needed was specific and close enough to the wording of the question that I was positive I'd found the right one.
Good luck tomorrow.
