Hi Everyone!

I am taking REG on 6/10/16 – about a month away.

I have read the Becker book and took notes and have read and rewritten the Ninja Notes once. On Monday, I started using the NINJA MCQ and have been averaging about 55%. I have been going through the MCQs one section at a time, so my Federal Tax Process procedures score is trending at 67% and Ethics is trending at 47%. I haven’t started the other sections.

Needless to say I am freaking out because I have to pass REG and BEC by end of January and have already failed BEC twice!

I would really love to pass REG on my first try to I can focus on BEC the third and fourth quarters. I’ve passed FAR and REG and don’t want to lose any credits!

What should I do to improve my scores? Should I keep doing MCQs and taking notes? Should I reread the Becker book? I also have Wiley flashcards that I can study.

My current study plan is to complete all the MCQs then study and memorize all 250 Wiley Flashcards then go back to MCQs. Or should I memorize the flashcards before completing the MCQs.

Thanks everyone for reading and for your help. Sorry if this is confusing,

start pounding MCQs randomly in study mode! You are 4 weeks out so calm down! It will start to click soon. Just keep doing doing MCQs until you want to puke out coffee and/or you start dreaming of the NINJA MCQ dashboard….

FAR: 63, 55, 62
REG: 65, 77*
AUD: Fail, 64, 71
BEC: 72, 74, 81

Thanks everyone for your help! I will keep doing MCQs until I raise my score. Do you ever feel like you memorize the answers though?

it is inevitable that answers are memorized but there is a difference between saying “I know this is C” and “C is the answer because children with investment income greater than….” that is why it is important to read everything that comes up with the response. my goal is to learn and be able to recall all the conceptual information that I have read 3,445 times since beginning the mcq's.

FAR 7/25/15 76!
AUD 10/30/15 93
BEC 2/27/16 82
REG 5/23/16 88!
Ninja Book and MCQ and the forum - all the way!!!
and a little thing i like to call, time and effort!
if you want things to change, you have to do something different
