    Make use of the research tool for any SIMS you're unsure about. Try to be done with MCQs as quick as you can. It's best to leave around 2 hours for the SIMS. This strategy seemed to work for me for the 2 sections I took so far.

    know the picky stuff for tax. if you've done tax before you probably understand the concepts but leave the details (i.e. limits on deductions from agi, for example) to the software. in reg you have to be the software.

    also understand the minute differences in all the law crap. it's crap imho. it made no sense. make it make sense for you somehow.

    and know how to fill in tax forms. hopefully you worked in tax before, or at least were the person all your friends came to every spring to do their 1040 ez. all my reg sims were tax forms or exerts from tax forms. not comfy in tax? no 75 for you.
