My exam is Thursday, Feb. 4 and my plan has been in action since yesterday. I made a 71 TWICE on this passable exam and my cram plan is:

1) Pray

2) Take 2 practice exams per day (1 Wiley in the a.m. at work and 1 Becker in the afternoon - time permitting or I just take one in the evening) and read the questions which I got wrong and if I still don't feel comfortable I work all the questions for a specific topic

2) Before going to work in the A.M. - work the simulations ( I usually do this about 2 - 2.5 hours)

3) I have been going to sleep at a decent hour every evening because the last thing you want (which I experienced last testing window) was extreme fatigue. If you are not accustomed to stayng up late/are a morning person.. take advantage of that!

4) Pray

 

I will let you know how it goes.. all the best to everyone -  I hope to hear good results in this testing window!

My cram plan is coming down to this:

1) Pray this is first and foremost

2) Indivduals-(Tues) working questions from Becker and Wiley and practice sims

3) Corps-(Wed)same thing-a little more time on this one since i know most of the exam focuses on this

4)Partnerships(Thurs)-probably the area of tax I am most concerned with since I dont work in this area so I plan on spending a great deal on time here.

5) Law-(Fri)-I just dont like this area so I will work extra hard. all night long

6) Saturday- I am going to review everything one more time. For the last time. My cut off is like 9:30pm

7) Sunday- Going to church in the morning and afterwards, going to take my exam.

I took the becker review course.  I just did the regular questions and not the supplemental.  I know chapeters one through 4 inside and out.  Meaning, I understand almost everything.  I also did business law and did okay.  I did sims twice.  Do I have a good shot at passing on Friday, I need some confidence after geting nuked by far last november.  On my becker exam I got a 58 on test one and 65 on test 2.  However, once I took that test I got really scared and everything stated to come together after I watched the videos again.  Thank you

I think you will be fine. Just take it easy, sleep well and make sure where you did make mistakes you see what you made mistakes regarding. Do remember that by there are slips to question that may not be uncovered by skimming, read what the question is asking for. All the best and I hope you do well. :-)

My exam is in the next 2 days (Thursday) and here is my plan for the next hours till I sit for the exam.  I am going to do the Becker simulated exam tomrw after work.  Review all questions that I get wrong and redo them.  Wednesday I am taking the day off from work so I'll have the whole day to review.  So wednesday morning I'll be taking the Becker final exam 1 and hopefully it'll go well.  I feel pretty confident about tax (it is starting to make sense in my head) but I am still not super comfortable with the law section. Should I read the book or just keep doing the mcq's?  Any important topics suggestions from people who took REG recently? Some of the questions and situations that the practice question have sometimes end up confusing me alot.  Any suggestions on how to tackle the business portion....
