Hello everyone!!

I am planning to sit for this section on August 23rd. Just got my NTS. I have purchased the Ninja audio and notes for this section and the audio is amazing so far. I listen to it on my way to work and the best use of the downtime.

JEFF – I just purchased the audio yesterday and notes couple days back. The notes say 13,000 for gifts and the audio says 14,000 – I am really confused as to which number to focus on. Are there any other changes if sitting for the exam in August? Becker website has no update regarding this. Also the section 179 numbers have changed?

Thanks for the help in advance!

Hey all! Back from a brief hiatus. I'm thinking of pushing my test back to around August 12/13th so I'm close to the end of wave two window instead of July 18th at the end of wave one window. It's my last section and I'm only almost through chapter two of six in Roger's review. I just don't see myself finishing the book and having enough time for review! Who knew once you passed test number three it would be so hard to push through the final one! I almost wish I had saved my favorite section (audit) for last!!!! Hoping to pass this guy first try though- another reason for pushing my exam back. Any thoughts?!

FAR: PASSED!! 64, 68, 79 on 2/27/13!
AUD: PASSED!! 73, 93 on 4/5/13!!!
BEC: PASSED!! 75 (phew) on 5/24/13!
REG: PASSED!!! 77 on 8/7/13 I AM DONE!!!!!

Experience: got it!
Ethics Exam: PASSED on first try (what a waste of money)

I'm a little off schedule. Got through chapters 1-3, then took 4 days off. I'm so not in the studying mood right now. Since my schedule is a little off and I haven't been reviewing the prior chapters once done, I'm going to spend the rest of this week re-working all of the homework for chapter 1-3. Then I'll start chapter 4 next week. I think I'm going to push my test up to 8/24 or 8/31 because I need at least 2 weeks of final review.

Are the business law chapters easier to get through than the tax chapters?

Mrs Bing I found Business Law to not be as difficult as the first four chapters as it is dealing with Offers/Acceptance and consideration. There were rules to learn but nothing like trying to calculate the basis of an asset that was transferred in a non-arms length transaction in a re-organization of a company blah, blah…. There are little nuances like void and voidable contracts and some lists to learn. Part memorization, part common sense and a few tricks.

For all others using Wiley Test Bank – I sent in a request to Wiley asking if they had updated the test bank for the new limits and if not, when did they plan on updating them. The e-mail response I got (which was very prompt and from a very nice guy that I talked to) was:

“I have received confirmation form the CPA developers that the Regulation module has not been updated. They plan to release the updates in the next few weeks.”

Is it just me or is the Wiley test bank EXTREMELY harder than the Becker questions? This is my first time using something additional besides Becker self-study and I've just been getting my butt handed to me in Wiley.

I consistently get 80-90%s in the Becker comprehensive quizzes and like 40-50%'s on Wiley.
