    Well here I am again trying to pass REG (71,70,68,& 67). Yes this will be my fifth attempt to finally get this last section passed and be done finally. Looking to find a new study course as my Becker has expired and to be honest I think I was getting bored as I keep losing points with each attempt.

    I have to admit I'm pretty desperate since I haven't had this kind of trouble with the other three sections (FAR 79, AUD 77, BEC 79). Looking at trying either Yeager or CPAExcel for the next go around. Does anyone know which would be the better of the two video courses?

    β€’ FAR 1x (67)
    β€’ BEC 1x (77)
    β€’ REG 3x (71,70,68)
    β€’ AUD 2x (63,79)
    β€’ AICPA Ethics (TBD)

    Signing onto the October REG wagon… retake Oct. 1. Like Skier, got a 73 in July UGH! This is the second time this has happened to me. Got a 74 the first time I took FAR (passed it a month later after doing buttloads of MCQs)! Now, 73 on REG… crap, well, it seems to still be semi fresh in my brain, so here's to getting aggressive, motivated, and angry at this exam!! Go get 'em, NINJAS!

    Yes Sissy,

    Its an online group that you can post questions to on topics or questions you are stuck with and others will chime in help you better understand the material.

    In turn you can help those that are weak in areas that you are stronger in πŸ™‚

    Hi everyone, I've been reading through the forum for the past year or so – this is my 3rd attempt at REG first with a 68 then a 73. I've used Yaeger and supplemented with Ninja Notes and Wiley Test Bank. I'm hoping to get some advice as far as studying the retake. I don't think I'm getting a lot out of the Wiley Test bank anymore, since I've done most if not all of the questions multiple times. Does anyone have any advice on what other materials would be helpful to use? Has anyone used Becker Final review?
