BEC is out. Hopefully it is not too much longer for us! Sadly, REG always seems to be last :-/

bmw.cpa, I was struggling with that too. Best advice I can give is to remember that above the line deductions you can get regardless of your income, and most below the line deductions will depend on your AGI, phase outs, percentage etc.

Also, writing up the lists of them – first with the book, and afterwards from your memory helps. One thing I can say – it'll come to you eventually, after enough of MCQ and memorization.

So when is the best guess for the REG score release? Could it be Friday or even tomorrow?

Thank you Patrick and Anna, your advice was much help!

What is the best book to refer for regulation ??

AUD:78 (8/7) REG:79 (10/16)
BEC:81 (11/30) FAR:76 (2/28)

The best review for Regulation is Yaeger and if you combine it with the CRAM even better; I am Yaeger converted after used Becker's

Good Luck!

I thought REG was the last one to be released? So maybe late next week? Or is it actually going to be this Friday (8/20)?? Thanks.

Good Luck everyone!!

Jeff's book says its either Audit or Reg released next but I would expect Audit on Friday, and Reg and Far next week. Just a gut feeling.

FAR 81, BEC 75, AUDIT 92 ,Reg 88

Yeah, REG will probably be released last, just because I am waiting for it. I am just that type of a lucky person.

I believe the loophole works after scores have been released by the AICPA but has anyone tried it??? It just keep telling me that they are in process.

BEC - 77 AUD - 80 REG - 76 FAR - 86

Done in 2010!!!! No IFRS for me!!!

If I took the exam on 8/12, is there a shot in hell I make it in the first wave? I highly doubt it, but was just wondering…and if not, about when would second wave be released?

Thanks

@bpw – I took Reg on May 12th in the last window and was still in Wave 1. It's kind of a gamble. Assuming you didn't have a new simulation, you stand a chance and it's not impossible.

If you're in the 2nd wave I wouldn't expect the results till near the end of September, maybe about the 3rd week.

BEC - 80
REG - 74
FAR - 72
AUD - Waiting

I have literally not thought about the CPA until today because there was no chance REG would be released. The second that there is a chance scores may come out and I am entirely glued to the computer.

I'm confused about the personal exemption for casualty and theft losses – I thought it was $100 for 2009 (and therefore what will be tested on the exam I have in a week)? I just did the practice exam for Becker and got one of the sims wrong because it said there's a $500 exemption per occurrence? Which is it? I think I'm majorly confused. Help?

[Anonymous]

$500 for now, bmw
