Hi Guys, Just took my exam i don't think i am passing this one.. anyway my advise to you everyone to pressurize your self with too many progress tests with too many questions and limited time in any single exam at the home to train your brain on the high pressure during the exam.. because once you finish MCQs testlets your brain will be already exhausted and simulations are really too long questions, most of the questions needs you to collect data from different sources to reach to the final answer. Questions are not that difficult but too much tricky so you need to be aware on every single word on the exam and to make sure that to keep your brain awake during the four hours.

sorry for the long speech above 🙂 but to make sure everyone pass the exam :).

It's crazy how everyone is saying the same things about REG. I'm so curious to see the passing rates once this year is over.

BEC - 79
REG - 85
AUD - 5/27/16

@mo3athn How many sims you got with supporting documents?

Sounds like a bloodbath with supporting sims and REG with the new changes.

[mo3athn]

@Anthony 6 out of 8 🙂 and each one is like there is more than 5 supporting documents in the question.

[mo3athn]

@Holly i think they need to be so generous in the curve thing.

@mo3athan I have 20 days left until my test and am not feeling confident. A curse sounds nice!

BEC - 79
REG - 85

@Holly be sure that the questions of the exam are not difficult at all.. all you need to concentrate on the tricks thats it. maybe this is the first exam i apply and i have an idea on all the questions. on my previous two exams i got questions about things never heared about them. this one nothing like that all you need is to solve too many questions in a limited time at the home “TRAIN YOUR BRAIN” and you will nail it 🙂

[Holly]

@mo3athn I kinda feel that way about the BEC exam I took. There was literally 1 MCQ that I thought I had never heard of anything they're asking about or the answer options. I'm not saying I killed it, I just was exposed to everything they asked.

BEC - 79
REG - 85

@mo3athn
Thank you for the information. How was your time management? How many hours for the sims? How was the coverage of Blaw?

[Operation_CPA]

@Tulip Appreciate the help!

[CPAIn2018]

@Operation CPA,
You are welcome. Just to add on that.
Had the question asked about the tax bases of one of the shareholders, then actual distribution would come to the equation (will be deducted). Say, one of them had a tax bases of $20k.Her tax bases after distribution would be 3k (20+15-32).

How many sims are y'all doing to prepare for the exam? Wiley has 100 sims for REG, I'm trying to decide if that is plenty or if I should supplement with more sims.

[Holly]

@CPAIN2K17 That seems like plenty (a lot) but who knows what the right mix of mcq/sims we should be working? I'm still focusing on MCQ because I feel like I don't have the blaw topics nailed down like I like and most sims are tax.

BEC - 79
REG - 85
AUD - 5/27/16

[Holly]

Okay, I just answered 118 NINJA MCQ in one hour. I'd say that's pretty good for time management at home.

BEC - 79
REG - 85

As far as SIMS, I did all of them in Becker and did every single one in Ninja and will redo the ones I scored below 75 the first go around…. I also highly recommend doing the SIMS for AICPA practice test. One of the ones I ended up having for AUD was the exact same one and the only one I didn't look up the answer to.. 🙂
