@74phoenix it is such a nightmare. Really want to get out of it and have my life back. I decided to give the REG last try if it works it works if not I am not carrying on. So far planning to sit sometime in July. What about you?

[Boardmangetspaid91]

Working problems in gleim seem a bit more difficult than other cpa banks anyone else have the same experience? Getting 80s in old test bank but 60s in gleim. its frustrating

[kakooakki]

@boardmangetspaid91 absolutely agree with you. I feel it is like different content and topics had that experience in BEC and my friends shared the same feedback in REG. personally didn’t use it for REG and to be honest bottom line the type of questions the have I have never seen it in the exam. Currently I am using Becker and ninja also got access for cpa excel

@kaooakki I also lost a test back in September. I was struggling hard and said if I don't pass the next one I'm quitting this. Then I passed. Now I'm almost done test (after many many tries over 3 years). REG Is my last one which already failed a bunch of times over these 3 years. I know your pain. I take my test July 16th. I use a combo of Ninja and Becker now.

@kaooakki – hang in there. I've been studying since February 2016 SMDH. I took BEC and REG first because of the big changes to the exam that happened in 2017/18 – took 6 times to pass FAR, 4 for AUD and I lost them both 🙁 I passed BEC again and now I'm on to REG – while it sucks I think we can feel a little better going into the exam knowing we've passed it once so there's no doubt that it is something we can do!
I'm studying with the Gliem test bank. For FAR/AUD I did Wiley and supplemented with the Gliem test bank.
Best of luck!

[Boardmangetspaid91]

@krstnam what are you average in Gleim right now? im at 61% not sure if it means im not ready or that its just really hard. I got a 73 when I took it a couple weeks ago. Still don't feel like im as prepared when I walked into that exam especially with these low gleim scores

Hi Ninja's, I've been reading the posts over the last few days and I must say to stick with this exam and determined to pass takes a lot of guts. I think that a person have to want to really want to be a cpa to loss credit after passing and then try again. I know it is very discouraging and disheartening to fail and fail to have to study again, but I say if you really want it go for it. Take a minute, take a deep breathe, create a game plan and get to it. If you passed, you can pass again with the same study and determination. I have said so many times I'm not trying again. My husband said make up your mind and spend no more money on courses and materials if I'm not going to study. With that, I decided to get it into gear. I still have panic attacks and anxiety moments but I am studying and looking forward to passing. So my pep talk is don't stop believing. It takes nothing to quit, but it takes a lot of courage and determination to try again. Please try again. The ninja's are here to encourage until the end. Keep studying hard gang.

Been hammering MCQ but don't feel like Im progressing much. need advice as my retake is in a couple of days!

@74phoenix @krstnam
Thank you guys for your words but u know it it really frustrating.
I am giving it a proper chance this time, took unpaid leave for 20 days and aiming to sit for reg around 20 July. Hopefully it is enough for me to kill it.
I am planning to go through the concepts again use ninja and Becker and I feel I need to start to focus on Sims and get it done from more than one source, does that sounds like a good plan? Especially I feel the sims is more focused on certain areas.
I am also planning to have some tables to help me to solve the property taxation questions, happy to share it with you as well

[kakooakki]

I am using Becker v3.3 does that works?

[74phoenix]

@Kakooakki those property transaction tables sound helpful! Share if you can please 🙂 I think your game plan sounds great. And I think Becker v3.3 is good – unless they recommend a newer one?

@BOARDMANGETSPAID91 maybe try using the flashcards to know you nailed down the concepts. Then try remembering the exam and what you really struggled with so you could go over that topic either with notes or questions, in case you get a similar question again. Then go back to doing MCQs. Or use a mix of both.
Good luck on your exam! Let us know how it goes.

[Tncincy]

@kakooakki, sounds like a great plan. Good luck to you. Study hard. I like the flash card suggestion. I forgot about the flash cards. I have so much stuff until I forget what to use. I kinda stick to my favorites. But use the flash cards.

Just took REG yesterday and thought I would give anyone that cares to read some input. 🙂
Overall, the exam was fairly balanced and did not test heavily on any one specific topic. I will say, there were more conceptual questions on my exam than I expected in the MCQs. This was not a bad thing, as many of them did not consume a lot of time during the exam. Personally, I thought the SIMs were somewhat intense. Certain parts of the SIMs were straightforward, but then the following question or two would throw in one more little detail that would make you question your answers. This made me feel like I was only getting a portion of the SIM correct. It really only happened on about 3-4 of my SIMs, but it was still frustrating nonetheless. Keeping that in mind, partial credit will definitely help keep my mind at ease until the August 6th release date. In terms of topics tested within SIMs, I would not focus heavily on BLAW and really focus on the tax portion. (Specifically; Individual, C Corp, Partnerships, along with Estates and Trusts.) If you guys have any questions feel free to let me know and I will answer them as soon as I can!

Hey fellow REG takers!

I'm coming down to the wire on my REG study; my exam is Friday. I've done 740 MCQs trending a 63% with Gleim's test bank. Not feeling too confident with that score. Though I didn't feel confident for FAR and ended up passing, so maybe I'll be alright. Gonna finish up my review with my Anki flash cards and a bit more MCQ tomorrow.

Good luck to everyone!

@Jex thanks for the info, hopefully focusing on tax this week in my review pays off

FAR - 2/28
AUD - ?
REG - ?
BEC - ?
