I am very concerned about this also. Over the last few days, I watched lectures R1 and R2 and did the passmaster questions. Before doing the questions, I was expecting to do very poorly because I certainly don't have all of the millions of "thresholds" and "robinhood rules" and whatnot memorized. I did ok on them, but I'm very concerned that there is such a small number of practice questions to wrk with. So here are my questions to somebody who is knowledgable about the REG exam and used Becker:
1) Why are there so few questions about individual tax, as compared to any other lectures in any section of the CPA exam? 2) Gearty spent a lot of time on topics such as IRAs, tax credits and the AMT tax and in passmaster there were 0 questions on IRAs, 2 questions on credits, and 2 on the AMT tax. Are these newly tested topics or something? I feel like I have no idea what is actually tested and what isn't

I know this is an old post, but I also have the same concern. Should I bother looking for additional supplemental questions from GLEIM or Wiley or is Becker Passmaster enough ? There wasn't enough practice AMT, credit or IRA questions that made me feel comfortable.
Anyone that solely used Becker 2009/2010 want to share their experience ?
