I read and read that chapter and it just does not stick to me. I have serious issues with it.

@dtat – the new version of Becker change chapter 3 with chapter 4 now those are backwards.

Has anyone tried the sims for SU 13 in Gleim? Wasn't expecting that one to be so tough! I need to work on installment and estimated tax payments.

My first try at 13 was 67.02%. Today I am supposed to re do that a second time. For S corp I got 61% the first time around. Need to do today the second round with it.

My best units have been 3, 6 and 9. All three of them got over 85% in the first try. My lowest was States and trusts I got a 46% on the first try and yesterday 68%. Does not seem to get much better.

Now Im trying to sneak in some of the new Becker mcqs for states and trust and I have gotten 14 out of 15 so far. Pfff, then GLEIM crushes me with their weird way of calculating DNI.

EDIT: Tried posting a screenshot of my sims stats, but it looks like crap. I'll have to try it again when I get home.

@dtat – In Becker there is a new section called “skilled practice”. Im totally lost on that. It has a video and an example for you to do. Very weird.

I started working on some trouble areas in Gleim using the adaptive learning and I'm getting crushed! It's like every other question is one of those ones that have no business being asked. Getting questions on conservation plans for farmers and all kinds of phaseouts that you can't possibly remember.
