I feel like i forgot everything… I haven’t read every word in the wiley book but i worked all MCQs for taxes and SIMS for individual taxation a while ago & i understood them from the explanation….. i wasted my time on business law (read all chaps) the last 4 days and worked MCQs as well

Now I am planning on reading the Ninja Notes and working the WTB MCQs for all of the taxation topics till it’s time….

Anyone has any advice? what is the exam going to be like? what should i focus on? I haven’t read anything on S corporations though (Not yet), planning to read it on the plane :/

I NEEEEED to pass or else all my plans (including studying for the GMAT and applying for Grad school) by 30 june would be delayed :’)

& Good luck to all

FAR: 77 (1st attempt)
AUD: 89 (1st attempt)

Hey y'all, I know I'm late to this party but just wanted to say good luck on REG. Looks like most of you have taken sections before, but I'll drop my (lengthy) two cents of advice in:

#1: focus on the basics of the tax material. You're more likely to see basic concepts than advanced items/exceptions. Your first packet won't be a “hard” one, and if you're borderline on passing you'll likely be getting fewer difficult questions on average. So, since you're short on time I would absolutely prioritize the stuff you're more likely to encounter.

#2: if you get a particularly nasty sim, relax and smile! They didn't expect you to memorize the rules, so just look it up and take those points!

#3: our elementary school teachers were onto something. Just believe in yourself and stay positive. If you psych yourself out early, it will be very difficult to pick out the “not” / “except” in the question and you deserve those points! Don't let a modifier keep you from passing this thing by a few questions!

#3(b): if you haven't studied thoroughly, mindset is extremely important. Therefore, YOU GOT THIS! Just before you walk in, listen to this song in it's entirety (NSFW) and you'll be ready to go OFF! I've done it on all four of my exams and it gets me ready to slaughter any section! I would say that it's not for everyone, but it is.

Why did you post such an abomination? I don't see how having this horrifying images imprinted in my head helps me pass the CPA exam.
