ie:

*AMT Formula (Do I absolutely need to drill it into my head, this formula seems so long)

*Personal Holding Company tax formula

There’s a lot more, but I just can’t remember them right now. Are there ones that I must absolutely know it inside out?

I'd suggest that you be familiar with AMT. Check out Jeff's videos on it:

I personally did not go so far as to memorize the personal holding tax formula or the estate/gift tax formulas.

@10key Thanks for the link! Very helpful.

I guess I'll just write all formulas and post them up in my room. Need to memorize them inside gradually… I do not want to fail anymore exams.. I need my life back.

Know property transactions like the back of your hand! Regarding AMT, I would suggest knowing what is not included in computing AMT for both Corp and Individual. The other big calculation that you need to know would be the DRD calculations, and the % ownership differences with DRD.

CPA EXAM: DONE!!!!
Ethics Course: Passed

I personally don't think you should worry much about AMT, you should understand DRD and Theft/casuality losses calculations.

FAR - 71, 68, 74, (8/31/14) 78 ✔
REG - 67, 71, 71, (10/18/14) 78 ✔
BEC - (11/29/14) 86 ✔
AUD - 73, (4/4/15) 86 ✔

I can't believe this is over! 2 years and 3 months..

@TXCPAGAL12 I also take my exam April 7. I feel the same way as you… Not sure how deep I am getting into the material and I think I need a solid week of burying myself in the first 5 Becker chapters every night after work and starting with MCQs on Friday or Saturday. I thought for this rematch that I could just use Ninja notes, but I'm thinking I should also be looking in Becker as well.

I just hope I can do enough these next 3 weeks!

Yes, hopefully it will go good for all of us! I am finding it extremely hard to get motivated to study for REG. I wasn't like this for BEC, so that's frustrating.
