Yes, certain questions are chosen because they are the "best" questions to utilize when preparing.  They are most represenative of what will be seen on the exam.  Not all questions are "good" questions and your time is valuable. 

Many candidates waste valuable time in areas most likely NOT tested and our goal is to point you in the "right" direction.

Follow Phils instructions and you will have a GREAT chance to pass the exam.

Remember, the key is to learn the concept being tested and we show you the "best" questions to utilize to do this.

We hope this helps and as always, please give us a call to discuss.

I received Yaeger materials for the REG section and found it very helpful. I failed REG one time using Becker 2008 edition. However, i can tell the difference between the two courses. If you really want to understand the concepts, you need to use Yaeger. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE. Yaeger is a MUST. I have to say that Phil Yaeger has done a terrific job explaining REG.

Thanks

I am currently online looking at the live broadcast of Yaeger's cram for regulation and I just want to say that Phil Yaeger just summed up 1231, 1245, and 1250 property calculation IN FIVE MINUTES AND IT MADE A LOT OF SENSE!!!  WOW is all I can say.  Well worth the $50 for two days :-)

I missed it - I could not force myself out of bed again at 5:30 this morning.

Are you using Becker?  It's freaking me out a little that the Wiley questions at the end of the modules seem to be more difficult.  For example preferred stock dividends are taxable and have a basis = FMV at time distributed.  Becker didn't even mention this, only regular stock dividends which are non-taxable and have a basis based on the original stock spread over the new numbers of shares.  I wouldn't have known this if I hadn't done the Wiley MC.  I don't know if it's worth reading the Wiley book instead to supplement or if the additional information is just not that highly tested....ahhh!

Also - did you notice that yesterday he explained the basis of property received as a gift differently than Becker?  I'm not sure who is correct.  Hopefully the MC at the end of the module will shed some light.

JGW, I actually use Gleim for my study materials and supplement it with Bisk book but I like the Wiley book MUCH better!  To be honest, the questions we have done during this cram are pretty similar to Gleim so I feel pretty confident about them so far.
