    I'd get cracking.

    Don't waste your time on here. REG has quite a bit of material.

    @Tax lady NONE. This probably does not bode well for me…

    MCQs, MCQs, MCQs. Use your book for reference when you need it. Get a second test bank if you need extra questions. It's worked for me on exams in the past, though it wasn't fun and I barely passed.

    Is there any way you can push your exam to January?

    Stick to MCQs and pound them away. Literally 400 a day and you'll pick up on the concepts quick. Read the book for any specific section you're still struggling with.

    Best advice for a 2 week time frame for REG.

    Thanks! Studying while working has been crazy difficult – I basically take study vacations and knock these tests out. REG is the last one left to take, so I could postpone until January – but I don't really want to!

    @Ive – REG is my last one too, and it's in about two and a half weeks. I've taken one quick pass through the book (mostly just terminology and getting a feel for what's in there) and am working to finish the Ninja flashcards this weekend. After that it's all test bank and running flashcards until exam day. Tax is my thing, so I'm not too worried there aside from some of the nuances, but a lot of the business law stuff is new material, so it should be an interesting weekend. Fun to learn about though! I've been looking forward to this exam since I started this whole process! 🙂

    Two weeks is pretty crazy. Like they said, pound MCQ's. If you have any spare moments or get stuck, a quick look over tax forms may help.
