This is for people taking their exams in the January/February 2010 testing window.

Recommended prep time for REG is 5-6 weeks @ 20 hours a week.

Not sure if anyone knows the answer to this but if you have more difficult MCQs in the exam, if u do well does it mean that you will have more difficult sims? Or are the sims already picked out before you even start to answer questions?

BEC – passed, FAR – passed, AUD – passed, REG – 2/16 praying I passed.., ETHICS – passed

The only Phase out that I considered memorizing was for section 179 (when you can't take the 179 deduction anymore because you added too much in $$ assets)

The other phase outs (income limitations, etc) are not tested numerically, but theoretically. If that makes sense.

REG tomorrow, and somehow I have completely forgotten the CARES and the SUPORT thing for dependency exemptions. How does that happen!?! Guess I know what Ill be looking over tonight! Good luck to everyone who is about to get their scores back and to those sitting in the next few weeks!

BEC - 79; FAR-79, AUD-80, REG-80

HOLY CRAP I DID IT!!!!

rsanchez – The simulations are not adaptive based on the multiple choice questions. Another words it is not true that the better on the multiple choice questions you do, the harder the simulations will be. There is no correlation of difficulty between the multiple choice questions and simulations.

Does AICPA/NASBA release scores on weekends?

[jeff]

Scores aren't released on weekends by the AICPA or NASBA…if the AICPA releases on a Friday…I've seen CA release on a Saturday (indie state).

[Anonymous]

Any idea if the AICPA might still release REG tonight? I'm dying to know!

[jeff]

No word on the 2nd release…still waiting.

zzzzzzzzzzz

Does anyone know how the wave 2 score release will be affected by the march test dates?

[Anonymous]

SSGG, I'll just throw my opinion in as well. It matches almost_there's statement. Know the dollar amounts and phase-outs for section 179 stuff. It is worth the 3-5 minutes it will take on that.

The other phase-outs are not really an issue. For everything aside from the section 179 stuff the amount you will probably see is either obviously above or obviously below the threshold amounts (or you'll be given the threshold amounts). Know which items have phase-outs but don't worry about trying to memorize what they are.

I think the test is really designed to test your knowledge of the concepts rather than any specific number cruching (generally anyhow).

“I think the test is really designed to test your knowledge of the concepts rather than any specific number cruching (generally anyhow).”

Agree. I took it in January.

[readygang]

so is it looking like reg wave 1 will be released early next week?

[Anonymous]

Even if the AICPA releases today we won't see them until next week. With my luck I'll have to wait until Thursday just to find out I got bumped to Wave 2 just in time to take the next test on Friday.

The way these scores are handed out need to be addressed. There needs to be a better way. This ‘wave' stuff is just not logical.

? AUD - 87 (8/12/09)
? REG - 77 (1/15/10
? BEC - 77 (1/6/09 - Expired) / 79 (11/18/10)
? FAR - 75 (2/11/11)

glogo2384 – I suppose the score release is not the best, but it could be worse. Prior to the computer version of the exams, it took months to get your score in the mail with no way of knowing when you would receive them. I am a little bummed right now since AUD got released today instead of REG. Good Luck to you.
