    Reviewed tough areas 2 days before. In hind sight I could of sat after 3 weeks, because felt like it didn't help to stretch another 2 weeks.

    Your study plan looks good to me glogo! I've been keeping track of how many hours I've studied this time around. It's scary, only 10 hours!! I sit for the test next Friday. My plan of attack is to finish what I can of the normal Becker questions this week. Then do as many supplemental as I can this weekend and finish next week by doing progress tests to determine my weak areas to focus on.

    I might have to move my test… but I think I'll do what Pursuit did and review the harder areas next wed/thurs and hope that's enough!

    I'm keeping up with my study time. I also have only 10 hours under my belt. It is so hard to get motivated to re-do this! I've done some of these questions five times since last October and I still get them wrong. UGH!

    I miss tax season.

    For people that used Becker to pass, what do u think you need to get on the simulated exam MCQs to feel you can pass?

    I got 70%, 21 out of 30 correct on all three sections of the MC on the simulated exam. Is this enough? I got lucky on a few but i also missed a few that I should have gotten right so its about even.

    I used Becker to fail… but I found I did better on the real test than my MC scores during review were coming up as. So I think you can pull out at least a 75%.

    did u feel u were ready for the exam CantTakeIt? Like do u think you studied enough? Also, how close were u to passing if you dont mind me asking?

    I basically have been looking at everything since my review class started March 3rd. Some weeks i would get an ok amount in some weeks not so much. Lately id say ive been getting in at least 20-30 hours for the past 2-3 weeks since i have been able to do some at work. Ive basically gone thru all lectures twice, by skimming the lecture and then doing the MCQs. I have even gone through all the supplementals questions but it just seems when i learn something new i forget something i already knew. ugh!

    I still do not feel like i know everything really well, but should i expect that it just seems like there really is too much to know every rule and exception you need to know. Am I right about this?

    I did not feel fully prepared when I took it. A few days before it, I was taking progress tests and would score from 45% up to 95% in different areas. So that tells you I really had some weak topics so I tried to focus on reviewing them. I thought the test was “easy” and that I did really well but I ended up with a 71. My co-worker thought her test was just insanely hard and she only scored 2 points less than me.

    Sounds like you've prepared. I think you will remember more than you think once you get in there. I feel like they touch on most topics but don't get too deep in to them. I would recommend doing some progress tests. I think that helped me in those last couple days. Without doing them, I would have scored much lower.
