So I am scheduled to take REG on 2/23 and I have fallen so behind in my studying. Usually I would be finishing up the material and reviewing at this point.. Due to being so busy at work and personal life events, I am only half way through the material. I am asking for advice in how to study before my exam in less than 2 weeks..

Should I try to continue to push through the material and complete the lectures? Or just skip those and work on lots of MC questions?

Any advice is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Time to drop the lectures and hit the MCQs as hard as you can.

Skim the text for whichever topic, then do the related MCQs. Rinse and repeat. I agree that it is definitely time to drop the lectures.

AUD - 1st - 60 (12/12), 61 (2/13), 61 (8/13), 78! (11/15)
REG - 55 (2/16) 69 (5/16) Retake(8/16)
BEC - 71(5/16) Retake (9/16)
FAR - (8/16)

I screwed myself, and tried to do REG in 2 weeks. I work full time, study after work and full day on weekends. I skipped the individual section, because I was familiar with the material already. Watched Becker video, took notes, did the Becker mcqs until I got the all right. Did not do any SIMs at all. Finished becker review for REG in about 9 days. I did skip R8…saw that amount of subtopics there were, and said screw you Olinto. Good thing R8 was not heavily tested for me. Then I ninjaed my ass all the way until exam day (2/14). Probably did about 2,000 mcq on Friday and Saturday before the exam.

Just do mcqs until you vomit. The ninja mcq was very helpful.

FAR some time in april 2016
BEC most likely the end of February 2016
AUD most likely in the beginning of april 2016
REG 2/14/16

I would highly recommend taking Becker REG “final review” if you only have a week or so left. It will take about 4 or 5 hours a day time 4 to 5 days.

REG Aug 20/15: 88
AUD: Feb 29/16: 80
FAR: Jun 10/16: 80
BEC?

Becker self-study, Becker Final Review & NINJA MCQS

Watch the Blitz videos , all of them, everyday. Do at least 100 MCQ per day!!!

[If I can, u can too!]

Study IRC!

This was the recommendation of a guy who got 99 on it. I'd say you need to study the IRC for what needs to be reported as income & liability. At the bear minimum, read all IRC codes Ninja SIMS have or you can study the structure of where things are so you can look them up during your exam.
