I just completed my application to get a coupon to get a NTS today! phew! I hope it doesn't take more than a few days this time to get the NTS. I'm aiming for mid-Jan to end of Jan to take it. I work (2) jobs, and end of the year and beginning of year is crazy work schedule!! I thought hard about taking BEC at end of Feb like cpamomma suggested – and I really would love to – but I don't think it's possible now that i'll be moving too! At least i won't have to contend with 2 hour roundtrip commutes soon! While I could listen to audio, I'm more a visual learner to begin with. As an emphasis later, I do listen to audio.
@Beharris – that's what I usually do for regular college courses. I find that when *I* lecture, I have to know what I'm talking about. This enables me to figure out what I really don't know. I used to talk to myself all the time – tape recorder, but I got overwhelmed. This time – I will focus on outlines for the finish.
I'm not sure about the whole ten point combo- I just indulged, because I don't want to take any more chances. I'm using Becker too. I do like most of the lectures.
Like you @Gabe – I thought AMT was not well explained in Becker. There's just so much material to cover for the instructors. I had to keep reworking them both corp and individual. Check out this guy's videos.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vJ5NKtjcKw He has more (free) online. He seems to resemble Roger a lot in the mannerism. I heard about the miles guy through this forum a few days back..and indulged in a couple of his lectures before I found out I failed REG. I like the way he explains things and translates them into tax forms. I plan on printing and writing on them just so I can see how all of the different schedules are linked (visually). Becker already has them printed out in the books, but I really want to use them several times.
