    Keep studying.

    I would not take the exam until I could pass the practice tests, but you might be different.

    I did good on the first practice test and horrible on the second. I ended up passing with an 80, but the material on the exam was material I was comfortable with.
    Definitely continue to study. Try to get a good set of questions in for each chapter (like 50). Do cumulative progress checks. You have to nail individual tax stuff. I would say focus on R1-5 and have basic knowledge of R6-8.

    I got a 62 and 64 on my two Becker finals and passed with a 75 for REG. Don't worry about them, I'm not even going to do them for FAR as they freak me out so much.

    I got a 60 and 65 on both of my Becker final tests and ended up with an 87 on the actual test. To me the actual test was WAY easier than the Becker MCQ's and SIM's.

    imo Becker finals are useless and waste of time, I took them, failed them epically.. freaked out etc.. passed all my exams the first time.. I stopped taking them after my second exam which was reg, I got like a 60 on them and i passed with an 82 on the actual exam. you're fine

    also, agree with the comment above.. know the tax stuff, be familiar with the Law stuff. I think I had like 1 or 2 questions on contract law which was what? like a chapter and half?

    I always get 50s or 60s on the Becker Final exams and have passed both my exams so far. This usually freaks me out a lot but it also motivates me to keep studying and cram some more and not get over confident.

    Ya I have to chime in… I BOMBED the Becker exams both. Went into the test because I had to get it over with… ended up with a 79! You just need to pass and remember this shit for 3 hours.

    I'm not even doing the exams for BEC. I've learned it doesn't help much except to maybe motivate to study more. I found motivation from being almost done so I plan on showing up and hoping for the best on Monday. I'm pretty comfortable I will get a solid score in the 70s and be f'ing free finally.

    FAR - 78
    AUD - 82
    REG - 79

    Yeah, those practice exams are killer… I was in the low 60s for both of them. I wouldn't fret too much about them. I got a 82 on my actual REG even after failing the practice exams, so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just use them as a learning resource to know what areas you are weaker in.

    FAR - 82 (8/30/14)
    AUD - 95 (10/7/14)
    REG - 82 (11/7/14)
    BEC - 85 (11/26/14) - PEACE OUT!
