So far I have:

1. Watched all lectures in Becker

2. Read over every chapter

3. Done all homeworks but skipped over the supplementary questions(Did not get below an 82% on R1-R4 but did get a couple of 69% on some of the law stuff)

Now I am:

Re-reading every chapter, doing the supplementary questions that I did not do, and doing progress tests after every chapter. I will be done reviewing on Saturday (with 6 days left) and will take a practice exam on Sunday and one on Tuesday.

Do you guys think I’m ready for this?

I think you're ready, I didn't take REG yet, but the only thing I see that you might want to do is read over notes or flash cards for those theory questions. I'm waiting on FAR score in 2 weeks. You aced FAR, how did you do it and how many hours did you study for FAR? I use Yaeger DVD's and Wiley Test Bank Software. Thanks.

Most definitely go over the supplemental topics because, honestly, nothing is supplemental when it comes to REG. Even the smallest topic should be treated like a major concept.

My strategy was always to reread my notes and do as much practice MCQs as time permitted. Then I made notecards for the topics that I was scoring low on. I'd repeat this process until I was scoring around the mid-70% range at least. Definitely try to improve on your law stuff. Although it's hit or miss with the BLaw to Tax ratio, there is still a chance you may get an exam that's 50/50.

Focus on covering your weaknesses this week and refresh stuff you're solid on. Good luck!!!

If you are using the 2011 Becker material, I'd read through all the supplementary material at least once or twice. I've heard from several candidates and from my own personnel experience, you'll be asked a decent amount of questions from it.

Do MCQ's until you puke. Then clean up the puke. Then do more MCQ's. 🙂

I passed REG on my third try. The biggest things I changed im my studying was the supplementary material in Becker and the practice tests. The practice tests were huge for me because they actually mixed the questions up, rather than doing 50 questions of R1, then on to 50 questions of R2, etc. Plus when I didn't know an answer I would look it up in the book.

my only advice in REG: WATCH YOUR TIME. The only section that I ran out of time.
