Friday I am taking Reg and I am hoping it will be my last exam. I was wondering how becker shapes up compared to the actual exam in terms of mcq and sims. Was also wondering if anyone who has taking the exam recently has any advice for me. Thank you so much!

I am also taking Reg but Monday. I would def study individual, partner basis, corp, scorp taxation for SIMs. Blaw/Ethics hit mainly MCQs in my past experience. Honestly Becker makes it harder than it really is. The actual exam just makes you feel like you failed when you walk out I think because of the toss out questions. I look for that one SIM that seems ridiculously hard and just try to take a best guess and move on. It's worked 3/3 this year testing. Last time I tried taking these 2 years ago I used Wiley…. Becker seems to have helped.

Know individual but don't invest all of your time in it. In my experience, Individual taxation was not tested very heavily. Know Partnerships, S Corps and C Corps like the back of your hand. Major emphasis on partnerships and S Corps.
