The supplementals are definetly harder, and they should be to prepare you for the test. My experience with REG was that the test was as difficult as the supplemental questions and the Becker simulated test. The homework questions were way easier compared to the real thing.

At my first atempt,I ignore bonds when it was difficult to understand n
went for the exam only for the computer to throw me a lot of questions
on bonds. So my second time around, I discovered it was not bad as I
originally thought; My advice is to come back to it with an open mind n
do not be in a haste or rush yourself. Bonds are long-term liability so u
need a LONG TIME for study.

Bonds are important, but keep moving, too. Maybe just try
reading over the material and working a few questions on
bonds every couple of days. If you spend 5 minutes a day
on it, you will rack up some good study time by the end.
Honestly, you will probably get at least 3 or more bond
questions. But sometimes you can reason them out, and it's
usually not as tricky as the prep software.

Less than 4 weeks to go and I am still on Chap 6!
Hoping to finish the next three chapters within the next
two weeks so that I can review for atleast 10 days.

Congrats I see you just passed REG. I am planning to take FAR sometime in May and wanted to get an idea from you how REG measures upto FAR. I am using Becker and just passed REG using Becker. Thanks
