just keep doing becker questions. while i didnt get an astronomical score, i was able to finish reg with like 1.5 hour remaining.

I'd take that score anyday.........

I started studying in January.  Weeknights 2-3 hours and weekends 6-8 hours up until I took the test last Saturday (Apr 16).

My gut feel is I failed it miserably....I know I did.  So a 78 looks pretty good from where I'm sitting now.

OZZMAN,

Do yourself a favor and ignore your gut. I walked out of REG in Feb and felt miserable afterward. I felt like the sims really blew me away and was fully prepared for a failing grade.

I don't know if you passed or failed, but one thing I learned from my experience is that I am not the right guy to be assessing my performance post-exam.

Bill:

I wanna believe you but it would take a miracle for me to have passed this exam.........

Not only did I bomb the SIMS, but there were questions on that exam that totally blew me away.  Small, petty stuff that I just ignored and decided that like-kind exchanges, or computing basis for S corps was more important.......I think after the first couple of questions I started asking myself what the hell is this??....if I only took the time to review the small conceptual stuff.

I need to move on and put together a better strategy forward, but I'll say this much.........I can't rely on false hope because its a no go Bill for me this time.

 

The streak may have ended for me at two for two.
