REG is up next for me. I need to keep my ego in check for this one. Last time – fresh off my AUD pass – and with tax experience in my background – I blithely thought “I got this!” – I did complete all of Becker's MCQ's and SIMS homework – and thought “this will be enough”.
Then I got my score. I didn't study enough; I didn't RTFQ! I couldn't believe it.
I'll go through the BLaw stuff first. I need more time to “review” and build on the memorizing (not just the last two weeks before the test). The Becker practice tests only give you like “5” BLaw question to review in each practice session; and that's not enough for me. Using my new “note taking while answering Becker questions” strategy, I can pass this time! I should have a full set of BLaw notes to read during my morning/evening commute by mid-April. That's two hours of study time every day for almost six weeks. It'll be like a song; if I sing it enough times, I will memorize the words to it!
I'll start my Tax chapter review mid-April, so that all the Tax material (which is 80% of the exam) will be FRESH in my mind before I take the exam . . . not stale and buried under the recent BLaw information.
I've got another week off – to celebrate my niece's birthday – to finish my taxes. Then – I hit the books and say “NO” to anything that isn't work or CPA study.
Good luck to everyone!
