@jmd09, as I wrote in my post, I didn't feel Becker prepared me well for REG; however, I believed Becker was very sufficient in preparing for two sections that I've passed on the first attempts last year before the format changed. I studied REG the same way as I studied the previous two, but failed REG once in the last window. This was the second time I took REG and I still felt that Becker might not have caught up with the new exam changes, and it's missing the big direction of the questions asked. I get over 90% on HM MCs in my reviewing days, and over 80% on the “final exam MCs”, and did all the simulations, and all the AICPA update questinos as well (only 39 in total anyways and NONE of them was on my exam. NONE! and as I said, I saw terms I've never ever heard before on the exam. I studied so much that I knew they just weren't included in the book/testbank software)
BUT I also understand that every candidate encounter different testlets, so it might be just bad luck on my part.
Sorry and I didn't mean to discourage anyone I know how stressful it is to prepare for the exams and noone wants to hear this to feel more stressful, and sorry I'm not really answering a question. I guess I'm also asking, what other supplemental study materials I can use, in case I need to retake REG in the next window. Thanks to @Yankeeaccountant! I will def. check out cpareviewforfree.com. I wonder if there's any study materials that target just on the updates?
Thanks a lot!!!
