Hi momcpa,

I had written REG earlier but I missed it by 2 points...got a 73. So this time I used Becker (which I had used for the earlier attempt) and also supplemented it with Wiley test bank. I would say do not be nervous, that would not help you. Instead keep yourself so busy in studying that you dont think and make yourself worried. If you stick to your schedule, you will be better prepared for the exam.

You have already done 3 parts-congratulations on that. That is motivation enough to finish REG. You have just one left !! Just go for it!

Today is Jan 4 and you have a month to study. That is a good time to revise things that you have studied and to study what u haven't.

My study plan mostly involved;

I attended Becker class lectures, so I would come back & read the text & learn. Then I would work the MCQ. Its ok if the scores are not too good on this. As you practice they will get better. I also worked Wiley MCQs. Many are common between Becker & Wiley, but some are new, hence I wd say worth doing. Once a chapter is done I will work the sims. Also in this step Becker has a feature of marking qns as u work them (ones which are imp or which u find difficul to do). This helped me a lot because when u do the qns again, u can select to do the marked qns & rework hence making you stronger.  

The above was learning for first time. When you do a second revision, learn all the pass keys and memorize parts marked by Becker, then rework qns.

Also do all sims at least twice. You can do more if you have more time. Also there are 2 final exams in Becker. Be sure to do these. They are crucially imp.

I wd recommend you take a look at the Wiley test bank. I found it useful. Also since your becker software expires soon.

and most of all, do not be nervous, study hard, u will do gr8.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the valuable advice. I am planning to get wiley to supplement, I have used wiley for Bec and i have seen that 50% of the questions overlap with becker but the rest are really good to give a very good grip over the subject.

One last question what did you do different the second time to get you a passing score??? I really want to pass and get over with this already...and somehow regulation is not my favorite.

Thank you once again.

Your welcome anytime. I had not used Wiley earlier, I used for the second time, n i studied much harder. I revised stuff even though I was sure I know it well. But still I would go and work out the MCQ all over again, as I did not want to take a chance.

Good luck for the test and be confident when u do the exam. It will help a lot.
