Thanks, pabernal. I hope so too.
Just to clarify relative to the flash cards from becker, which I believe put me over the top conceptually- I only Studied the flash cards (like really hard) the concepts I felt confusing. For example, how the tax basis rules change within Individual, Partnership, Corp, S-corp ect.. and the differences within each. For me it was so confusing, there were so many scenarios and exceptions to each rule it was rather difficult to actually study for these by just doing MC questions. You could probably do millions of MC questions/practice sims and still be thrown off by the EXAM SIMS. I purchased mine off e-bay cheap. Also remember most of these flash cards are straight forward and probably only need to be read over, but material you find confusing play hard ball. LOL, (forgot printing page)
Good Luck
