REG, I used my old stuff, but I wish I hadn't. REG is
actually the one I felt the worst about (short prep time,
just a generally bad test day), so if I failed REG, I'm
getting Wiley for that too. |

If you happen to live in Chicago and is studying for anything but FAR, let me know. I am using Beckers 2011 material, I can probably share those with you.

I am studying FAR and scheduled to take the exam on April 5. I print the passmaster question as PDF, and transfer them to my amazon kindle, just keep re-read the questions (not answer the questions, but to comprehensive them) from chapter 1 to chapter 9 over and over. So far I am re-reading the questions for the 3rd time, but it works great for me. |

Haha gotta love technology. I use adobe acrobat standard to highlight and add note, and use excel to create customized financial statements like cash flow analysis with additional note, or making key points and print them to pdf and read on my kindle when i go out, at a coffee shop, etc. I found that sitting in front of computer for hours really exhaust my eye... right now, I am totally prepared for becker's questions, but i wish i can say the same for the actual exam.....
Hotstuff, by any chance do you work for any big4?
