Property law is an entire section in the Wiley test bank but isn't in Becker or mentioned in the CSO.

Is it worth worrying about?

[mrwills12]

Thanks Bucky, I will definitely use it. I wouldnt worry about property law. I have heard that the Wiley Test Bank goes in depth alot more then needed. Just stick to the basics from Becker at this point because, even if it is on the test it will be a question or two. And the time that you spend trying to master it could better be used to master the topics that are for sure on the test like C Corp Tax, Estate, etc.

That's good advice, thanks. Going over the Wiley test bank knocked my confidence a bit.. so I'm going to stick to Becker just because I only have a few days left before the exam.

I get bad scores on Wiley test bank right away (laziness of reading the entire question and distractions), but am making all of them into flashcards/notes. I'll read the flashcards then go back over all the problems again.

UGH, I am rewarding myself with a trip with Iceland if I pass my next 3 by the end of Feb. Great motivation!

About to attempt my first 90 question progress test covering R1-R6. This shall be a nightmare.

[mypetmeatball]

89%..better than I expected, but more importantly it really put into perspective how much of this crap i've forgotten

R3 is a problem as per usual. I want to fly through R7+8 early this week so I can spend more time for a final review. I desperately need to touch up on tax

[mrwills12]

Anyone else notice that Becker has 2 or 3 questions that do not make any sense? Like the numbers that are given in the problem are different from the numbers that are given in their answers.

@mrwillis

I'm pretty sure, yeah. I just can't recall them specifically.

[mrwills12]

Good, it is driving me crazy when i look at the question and figure out the answer and it isnt a choice so i cant figure it out. Then in the answer's explanation has different numbers being used. I just had 2 of them and both were questions released by the AICPA and were not adapted by Becker. I sure hope i dont run into that problem on the test

@mypetmeatball

How can you limit the Progress tests to only certain sections? I've always wanted to be able to do that. haha

[mypetmeatball]

You can check/uncheck the boxes to the left of each section before you start the exam.

On the same screen where you decide how many questions to do, time per question, etc

Had notice that also !

Any one have a good advice regarding the sim ? Do The free Wiley have sim questions ?.. My exam on Thursday any thing at this point would help ..?

FAR 86 May 12
AUD 84 August 12
REG 80 Jan 13
BEC 76 April 13
And am done !!!

[mrwills12]

@Fatma

I think that is a question we should be asking you since you are the only one that has taken the exam so far here. lol. I think for the sims save yourself enough time so you are not rushing or dont feel rushed. This should help you remember things better, also you could maybe look some stuff up.

I'm terrified about the SIMS. Maybe I'll spend a few hours of studying clicking around in the research database to get a feel for how to work it/where things are.

I have no idea what to expect…
