    I just took advantage of the BOGO offer and and purchased REG materials and AUD. My plan is to sit for Reg sometime late January or mid February. I know NINJA supplies will update but am I wasting my time using the 2015 materials I just purchased to study with?

    I guess to sum up my concerns:

    Will the REG exam include 2016 rates in the first test window of 2016?

    Should I wait until my REG study materials update for 2016? If so, when can I expect that?

    I'm not planning on taking REG in Q1, but AUD. However, Jeff posted a video about the update for materials in which, if I'm correct, he said the REG material in regards to tax (etc) will be tested for 2015 rules through June of 2016, and will reflect 2016 rules at that point. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, though. I don't want to misinform you.

    you don't have to know the tax rates and such bc they change so frequently the AICPA can't change the questions fast enough. I guess nor would they want to. But, to give you some reference, if you test in early 2016, you will be tested on material in 2015. If you test in late 2016, you will be tested in material first half 2016. That's what Roger's review course told me. 🙂

    Last half of 2015 and first half of 2016 is 2015 stuff.

    Last half of 2016 and first half of 2017 is 2016 stuff. Etc.

    But as someone said, you don't need to memorize rates and stuff as they often change and presents needless problems for AICPA to update.

    @the LAST Coffee
    Given that the AICPA is updating the CPA exams in 2017, would you think the first half of 2017 with 2016 content would hold true in these circumstances?

    Filled with uncertainty, the treacherous journey has begun.

    FAR: 02/06/16
    AUD: 05/21/16
    BEC: TBD
    REG: TBD

    GanNing221: The exam will be formatted differently starting 2017 but material-wise, first half of 2017 will probably still be 2016 stuff.
