Thank You Zena… I was worried that there are 30 Q each plus 2 sims 🙂

[Anonymous]

now 2nd qustion… how much time do you think I should spend on sims ??? It took me a lot of time to do FAR sims and AUD sims I was able to complete quick

[Anonymous]

u need a lot of time for the reg sims

[Vespa]

I agree, you need a significant amount of time. Personally, I budgeted 45 minutes for each one and didn't feel like I had any excess time.

FAR - 78
AUD - 86
REG - 77

I took the exam today. I have been studying since December using Becker. I went through the homework MCQs 5-6X, re-read the book, took notes on all problem areas, reviewed flashcards and took the 2 Final Exams and still, I left the exam completely dumbfounded. I did well on 1st testlet since the 2nd testlet was super hard but didn't do well on that one since the 3rd testlet got easier again (I knew most of the questions in that testlet though). I didn't keep track of time well since once I got to the simulations I had less than 1 hour. I only filled out one tab and the communication in the 1st sim and only the communication in the 2nd sim. I am praying that I passed but not so sure….

BEC – PASSED, FAR – PASSED, AUD – PASSED, REG – 2/16, ETHICS – PASSED

so what's the latest prediction for the Wave 1 Reg release? Is there a chance that it could be at the end of this week still? Or are we gunna have to wait another weekend?!

[zena]

I don't know, but I wouldn't hold my breath for this week still. Is looking more and more like AUD/REG will be coming next week (from NASBA anyway).

FAR 86 | BEC 94 | AUD 90 | REG 85
All done! used Becker

[readygang]

any hope for the AICPA? I'm in CA…

readygang – if your name is in reference to Tim Gearty, it's just plain genius. Regardless of whether that was your intent with it, I almost spit out my soda when I saw it.

There's someone named “OkayGang” on here that cracks me up whenever I see it.

CPAWannaBe – AHAHAHAHAHA….I haven't seen “OkayGang”….that's great!

Jeff “I would only memorize the 179 deduction and phaseout limits for 2009…they don't test on the rest because they can't keep the test bank updated for quantitative tax changes”

I didn't understand it. I wanted to ask whether i need to memorize the phase put limits for the exam.

Thanks

Hi rsanchez, believe me, I feel the same way!!! I studied for nine weeks – hardly ever took a day off, did all of the Becker questions twice and was just frustrated after taking REG last weekend! It was very difficult and Becker did not prepare me as good for this exam as for BEC. I realize that there is a good portion of luck involved regarding the questions that you get, but this exam was a beast. I just hope I will make it and the nine weeks of studying will pay off. It is very frustrating! Good luck to you!

[rsanchez]

Thank you Alex, hopefully we both passed!

[SSGG]

can anyone plz help me with phase out limits…do we need to memorize them for exam?
