    I hear that. I'm losing motivation badly right now. My scores redoing the homework aren't at the level I would have liked either.

    Man, REG sucks. I expected this one to be easier for me because Blaw and Tax are more my thing… but I am almost done with the Blaw sections and that is a lot of detail to remember!! I am excited about starting the tax portion, I hope that is better… I do better with numbers.

    This one scares me.

    FAR - 83
    AUD - 81
    REG - 92
    BEC - 87
    ETHICS - Done

    I am so f'ing bad at R3 and R4 I think I'm going to have a panic attack. I'm worse than when I originally studied it. I may have to reread and I barely have the time.

    What's the word with this “Unified Estate and Tax Gift Credit”?

    Is it for the first $5,120,000? 1,000,000?

    The exemption amount for estates is about 5,120,000 (in terms of the actual value of the taxable estate). At a 35% rate, this translates to about a 1,792,000 credit of any tax due–that is what those two numbers refer to.

    Research: 0 Of the six practice Becker research questions I've done thus far this month. I got MAYBE one on the first try. I don't know what the hell is wrong with me at this point; I can't find anything in the research tab for crap. This is really starting to get to me.

    weird…just went over my exam and it looks like I didn't get the research wrong…

    Strange that it didn't register. Regardless, I still have a lot of work to do with the research tab. I wasted way too much time on that one.

    115/217 of Individual Tax wiley book questions done so far today. Wahhh… F, S, S are the last 3 chapters and Monday is review of everything. Yuck.

    Meatball – I get super anxious when it comes to my research question too cus it seems easy enough, but I'm not sure how to study for it, it doesn't seem easy to, just something you either find or don't find I guess :/

    AUD: 84
    REG: 84
    BEC: 79
    FAR: 83

    @meatball

    I don't post a ton but have also noticed this. I just assumed not many people were taking REG right now.

    I am going to finish the lecture videos by this weekend which leaves 2 weeks for wiley book MCQs, and 2 weeks for review before my test. At the moment I feel very unprepared for the BLaw sections. This is going to be my weakness seeing as I have 4 yrs tax experience. I have no idea how to study the BLaw stuff other than reading the notes/book over and over. I do plan on using the NINJA notes to review with. Any other ideas? I briefly considered the NINJA audio but my commute is pretty short and I try to use that time to mentally prepare on the way to work, and decompress on the way home. I want to pass this last section so bad though!

    FAR - 81 (8/31/12)
    AUD - 93 (10/19/12)
    BEC - 79 (11/27/12)
    REG - 92 (2/8/13) DONE! All 1st attempt!

    @ mypetmeatball

    Looking @ your results for exam #1…I have to say…keep up the good work. I know it's difficult to say if you pass or not based on those results due to the weird way of the grading structure, but you are right there. Based on my results from the FAR test and the “real” test, I would like to say, you are good to go. Just in case you want to do even better, get those flashcards a chance to get even more in your mind and keep working on more MCQs so that you don't have to think and search for the concepts in your mind, but they are just there for you.

    Just noticed you guys are going to take the exam the same day. Any feedback we can receive from you (within the legal boundaries) would be highly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    Wow, thanks. I feel a lot better now.

    I will definitely say anything I can when I'm done with the exam
