Got the terrible news this morning that I failed, this is my last section and I’m done. My subscription to Ninja MCQ is still active for another two months, which is gonna allow me to use it again. However, I’ve seen mostly all the questions they have to offer, so I’m afraid that I will be just remembering answers instead of the concepts. I also have NINJA notes, which I think I will be using this time around. My plan is to wait for the detailed report that shows which area I’m weak in and start from there. Any comments or advice would be appreciated.

AUD - 78 (first attempt)
BEC - 79 (first attempt)
FAR - 72, 79 =)
REG - 71

By the looks of things, it seems like you have a decent handle of it. I listened to Jeff's lectures a billion times, read the Ninja notes 5 times through, and wrote them down. I did 2000 MCQs in the last week. In the future, I'm probably going to attempt to do 50-100MCQs per day and definitely do wayyyy more TBS (compared to none)

You should be fine. Just come on here whenever you need motivation. 5 minutes or so on here always makes me want to study so I can pass.

And obviously if someone comes along that got a 90 and tells you what to do, listen to them.

BEC - 83 7/25
REG - 76 5/2/15
AUD - Hopefully before MY Audit...7/5?
FAR - 83 5/2/16

Thanks tuff, for the comments and the encouragement. It is true what you say thou, coming to this forum and reading conversations does really amp you up to start studying. I might just do that each time before a designated study day.

I used Becker for my first try and got 66. I added NINJA MCQ for my second try and got 78. Since you already had NINJA MCQs, I would suggest you to find other brand's MCQs to practice. It will help you to understand the material from different side. Good luck 🙂

BEC 75-12/13 (Becker)
AUD 73,72,74,74,88-02/15 (Becker+WileyNotes)
REG 66,78-04/15 (Becker+WileyNotes+NinjaNotes&MCQ)
FAR 65,80-06/15 (Becker+WileyNotes+NinjaNotes&MCQ)

I wouldn't rely on the info from the exam reports about where you were weak. It's very vague. You should have a much better idea of where your weak areas are just by thinking about the questions you struggled with on the exam.

I failed REG the first time with a 74. I studied just under 4 weeks, and took the exam on a wing and prayer. I regrouped the second time by going back over the Wiley material and focusing on my weak areas, doing the MCQ's a third time and read all of the wrong answers too, looking at tax forms, and using the NINJA products, particularly ninja notes. I didn't utilize ninja notes during my first attempt like I should have and I totally regretted it.
