@watermelon, no, it's okay. I don't think you're at liberty to actually disclose the exact topics you had. I'll definitely focus more on the entities before my exam bc that's probably most test-takers' advice. TBS section is probably the scariest part for me bc every time I see a new one, I'm just lost even when I think I already have a good grasp of the topic MCQ-wise

@Watermelon, hoping for the best for you! I honestly felt the same way for FAR and I ended up getting a 75 because I was strong in the MCQ and very weak in the SIMs. The new format of the Sims is so confusing, that even if you know the answer you might get it wrong for not inputting the answer correctly. Hope you can pass and be done for good!

@Tncincy I hope you're still putting in some study time here and there. I think you and I have been on this journey for about the same amount of time. I started studying back in 2013 and I liked it so much I had to take them all again! 🙂

FAR - 78*
AUD - 66, 79

My exam is on sunday and I am so lost on where to focus. I did a second review of everything already, and I know I need to devote time to tax MCQs but I keep getting distracted by all the BLAW stuff. Taking Thursday and Friday off to study and just hope for the best.

FAR - 78*
AUD - 66, 79
REG - 73, 76

Thanks for the feed back watermelon. You might feel like crap, but you might have passed. So hold that head up until you get the score. @Ahugemistake good luck, you'll do fine. just keep reviewing, nail down the simple blaw stuff. You got this.

Good grief….I can't log in to pay for my exam.

Thank you guys! @Ahugemistake I would say the sims are the most mentally draining part so if you could practice more SIMS before your test, you will feel more comfortable! You got it!

Just took reg today and man I was not ready for the Sims. Becker did not prepare me for these at all. For the MC I feel like I killed it, but I was hard stumped on the Sims. Pretty sure I failed so going to try another test prep to better prepare myself for the sims :/

[BryGuy]

@Abe

While it is still fresh in your head, could you please let us all know what kind of sims were on the exam and any tips you have for us !?

I would appreciate it !

[CPAnerd]

I just took it too, what type of sims did you have, did you have one about a US citizen living Canada and how to report that interest income?

[Tncincy]

@abe Best of luck. Thanks for the heads up on the sims. So many say don't bother practicing them, but I think I'm going to do a few just to get a good feel for the types of sims that could be asked.
@CPAnerd: we cannot ask specifics sorry pal.
Keep studying Ninja's 🙂

Does anybody know how the real TBS part of the exam compares to Roger's sims? I will be taking REG this coming Saturday and I just want to know if the Roger sims could somewhat prepare well enough me for the questions (like the format and topic similarity)? All these reviews about nothing could've prepared them on the TBS section is making me so worried!

[Motivated2019]

@G, I am taking REG on Saturday, and I am nervous about the sims too. Focusing on C-Corp, S-Corp, and Partnership basis and income calculation sims based on what others have recommended. I would hope practicing available sims even as skimming through them might be helpful. Some people mentioned that TCJA was tested heavily, but not certain if that's more for MCQs or sims.

Good Luck!

[G]

@motivated2019, I guess people's tests are all different as I have also read that there were less TCJA and more of the blaw and ethics sections. Others' theory is that they are still not sure on how to incorporate the new topics on the exam that's why they add more blaw/ethics. But I do agree with you on knowing entities' basis, distribution, etc like the back of your hand. All this is really overwhelming! I hope we finish through this exam with at least a 75. Btw, what material are you using for your review?
