    Just found out that the Personal holding company and Accumulated Earnings tax both increased to 20% in 2013 (was 15% in 2012).

    @MrsBing Thanks for the info.

    Have you guys taken the practice exam in Becker?

    I just took my first practice exam…and the scores are no where close to 75… I am getting discouraged. 🙁

    God help me.

    I'll be taking the first one tomorrow morning and will post my scores. When I took the first one for FAR, I didn't do that good, can't remember exactly what I got but it was around 75 give or take a few points.

    I've heard Becker is harder and to add 10 points to what you get on Becker to have an estimate on what you may get on the real exam.

    Hey guys – I know that from previous test takers that REG sims can be so terrible in actual exam. Is anybody here bought Gleim sims and think that they were really helpful in the actual exam.

    I have Gleim and i used them for AUD. I feel they helped me alot. I am using Gleim again for REG as a supplement test bank 🙂 I can tell you this.. I my avg score in Gleim is 59.. Wiley i am around 65 to 70.. Gleim does make the questions harder.

    Some people would not like to see such discouraging marks but for me its a motivator to do better.

    FAR 05/27/14; 786/110 - Done !

    Just finished my 1st Becker Final and did horrible on the first testlet. Here are my scores

    Regulation Final Exam #1 Results

    Testlet #1 – 50%

    Testlet #2 – 83%

    Testlet #3 – 71%

    Testlet #4

    Simulation 1 – 100%

    Simulation 2 – 80%

    Simulation 3 – 80%

    Simulation 4 – 80%

    Simulation 5 – 0% (Research SIM)

    Simulation 6 – 100%

    Overall Score 70% if I did the math right, not sure.

    I can't believe I did so bad on the first testlet and I'm sure it wasn't a hard testlet at all. I did good on SIMs, but I spent a half hour on the research SIM and still couldn't find it. The research is so much different from the FAR research.

    I'll be taking the 2nd final on Tuesday or Wednesday and hope I do better.

    Hiya Mrs Bing,

    I say its better for you to see why you did bad in the testlet 1 in becker than on the actual exam 🙂 I am sure over the next week you will be nicely prepared for REG.

    Wish i was in your shoes right now .
