I just took REG Exam, and I have to say it is probably the most difficult I have taken. I messed up one of the Simulation tabs completely. One rule affected all the answers on that tab, and I was missing one piece to the rule. Also had the MC portion of the exam focus on a few areas one of them being an area I was weak in. I thought the MC went ok, but the questions got really hard, almost to the point where I felt like I was guessing on several questions. I am hoping that those questions are the ones that do not get counted. I felt this way on the last test and ended up passing, am hoping for another miracle at this point.

If the MCQ sections got progressively harder, that's a good sign. It means you were doing well and you got a more difficult section as a result, but they do compensate for that when scoring the exam. Of course, they not willing to tell us exactly how that's done, but it's taken into account.

REG - 96, FAR - 92, AUD - 77, BEC - 78

Well they probably compensate by not having to get all questions correct and still get credit as if you did, however this will only benefits you if you still get a good amount of questions correct. This is why I am worried, I felt like I had to guess on quite a few. Will see, its going to be a long two months.

They compensate by giving you harder questions worth more points so you dno't have to get as many right to get your 75 points. So there's still a good chance you passed! You never ever know until you see the score 🙂 I'd go ahead and just move on that this point nothing you can do but that anyway 🙁 I took a test today too so I know how hard it is to do that… (move on that is).

Deep breath, it's over for now 🙂

How was BEC? I am hoping easier than REG, will start studying on Monday for that one and hope to take that by 10/22.

BEC was alright 🙂 I feel less confident than AUD and about the same as FAR, maybe a little less than FAR. It's tough to gauge since it's on all different subjects 🙂 I just hope I passed 🙂

And I'm taking REG next! Looks like we're switching exams 😀

Good luck gabe – looking at your other scores, I'm sure you did fine!

Just a general question, since I'm taking this thing as well in 10 days; is it necessary to know all the exemption amounts and stuff or is a general understanding of the concepts enough? I would imagine that I would not need to memorize phaseout levels for every single deduction item…

FAR: 8/5/2010 - 89

Hey I have some questions on REG so this looks like as good a place as any…

I am using Yaeger Homestudy, and I am just about to wrap up Individual Taxation (about 1/3 of the lectures…) I started studying on Monday and I will take the exam on the 18th. Yes I know this is only 3 weeks… I am being flexible with myself on when to take the exam, meaning if I need to push it back I will. However, I want to still have the possibility of bieng in Wave 1. So my first question is, does it seem adequate to make Individual Taxes 1/3 of the lecure hours? Is there that many questions on the exam? I know every exam is different, but is 33% of our score from Individual? Also what other information should I be prepared for? Any info would be greatly appreciated!

BEC: 73,81(7/6/2010); AUD: 75(5/24/2010); FAR: 76(8/31/2010); REG: 77 (10/18/2010) - DONE!!!!

Oh man Trevor you just made me think, what if i can finish it a few weeks early and get into wave 1??? LOL. I have til Nov 7th right??? 😀

somewhere around there… I am going to try and take it by the first monday in November at the latest!

BEC: 73,81(7/6/2010); AUD: 75(5/24/2010); FAR: 76(8/31/2010); REG: 77 (10/18/2010) - DONE!!!!

Trevor – I would say you want to spend more time than 3 weeks unless you are putting in 40+ hours per week. There is alot of material in individual taxation as well as a crossover to business deductions from schedule C. that is not to say that the exam is going to be 1/3 individual taxation. Yeager actually mentions that the exam focuses more on Corporate and Partnerships since alot of people have more knowledge of individual taxation.

joohj1187 – I can't get into specifics, but this is what Yeager and Becker both teach. Know the fact that there are phaseouts for each item, but don't get crazy with the $ amount of phaseouts. This is what I did and can't complain from that aspect.

Keep in mind every exam is different. You may get an exam that is much heavier in a certain area.

Hmm I may be changing my date then! I'm going to wait a couple weeks and see how much I can get done first, but I'm thinking I'm going to be cramming this with you! See you in the REG forum 😉
