I took Reg in October last year and scored a 74 (painful as many of you have experienced). I am retaking Reg in April and Im just finishing up R7 today. I believe my biggest misstake was not reviewing the tax process last time.

My question is for Becker users, do you think R8 is really important for Reg? I dont really remember it being important last time and as many have said tax is definitely more important for success. I was wondering if its a bad idea to just skim R8 and focus on R1-5?

Any advice is appreciated!

For a second I thought Audi R8. Some day, when I am a CPA 🙂

My suggestion would be what Olinto says: this could be your difference between a 74 and 75. While I study for my retake, I'll read the book once and do the questions to get myself familiar with the material, but then go back and focus on tax. Don't skip the MCQs for any topic.

FAR - 53, 71, 71, 78
AUD - 56, 75
BEC - 83
REG - 42, 42, 74

Very true fld. I'm just worried that it is similar to F10 for financial which I didnt review the second time I took Far, but hey better safe than sorry. Even if its only 5% of the exam

You'll get a different test this time, so something that wasn't on it last time could be there this time.

AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)

I don't think it's very important, I would say maybe you'll get two questions on it. But then again that can be the difference between passing and failing.

FAR - 71, 68, 74, (8/31/14) 78 ✔
REG - 67, 71, 71, (10/18/14) 78 ✔
BEC - (11/29/14) 86 ✔
AUD - 73, (4/4/15) 86 ✔

I can't believe this is over! 2 years and 3 months..

I would skim through it just to be somewhat familiar with it, do some MCQs to get your brain in the MCQ mode for that section of the exam, but still really focus on 1-5.

BEC - 78 (8/30/13)
REG - 73 (1/31/14) - 76 (4/7/14)
