@sugarmagnolia548 – I'm not sure what review course you are using but in the Becker review they tell you specifically which ones you need to memorize the numbers for and which ones you need to just remember that there is a phaseout. If I remember correctly there were only a few that they told you to memorize numbers for. This seemed to be more than enough information for my exam but that was just my experience

I was Weak in the SIM's and Comparable in the MCQ's( mixture of weak, strong and comparable)

In the MCq's I was weak in BLaw, Strong in Individual tax, Ethics and comparable on the rest. The SIM's i got were all fill in the blanks so for example and this is something I am making up using a Gleim SIM example.

You get a SIM and its on lets say Partnerships. They will give you a bunch of item and ask you to calculate what the adjusted bases is after a distribution or a new assumed liability blah blah.

So you would have to do the math and insert the value of the bases. Imagine getting 7 SIMs like that but on different topics like on Individuals or Corps or Estates or Partnerships. That for me is my worst nightmare as I would be panicking and not reading and I could have missed something they said and got my calculation wrong etc.

So I think that is what happened to me. I missed things since I was rushing and panicking LOL. My advice, lock down the MCQs and get really good at them. In the exam try to have at least 1 hour and 20 mins just for the SIM's.

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

@Qlad…there is no need to get panic attacks, concentrate on your materials and you will do just fine.

REG covers a lot of topics which can be tested randomly, it doesnt matter! The key is knowing 99.9% of the entire material and pray the REG gods smile on you on exam day.

BLAW is rarely tested on simulations, you need to have extensive knowledge in the tax calculation aspect as well as the research part to be able defeat simulations.

I failed horrribly on my first attempt but also passed convincingly on my second attempt. study hard!

REG -63│ 84!!
BEC- 59│70│ 71 │78!
AUD- 75!
FAR- 87!

Mass-CPA

Does anyone know how often the Wiley Test Bank is updated? I boughth the 2013 REG materials in April, would there be an update to the test bank material in July for any changes?
