Anna..thanks for the info...well see what happens and how i feel after AUD.....good luck with you final part.
Thanks PAP for the feedback. You should be fine in terms of AUD...i know easier said that to believe...Im right there with you. Goodluck on your last part and enjoy the blitzkrieg of alcohol consumption that ensues.
Is anyone putting extra time into the bankruptcy section? I've spent so much time trying to figure out chp 5 & 6, that I need to move on and continue my review of the other areas...ASAP. Exam is this Sat (1/16).
If I remember correctly...I don't even think there was a single question on either of the Becker Final Exams regarding bankruptcy...I could be wrong.
Any advice or past expreiences would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Jeff,
I have question for you: I have my last exam, REG scheduled on Feb 26th. My NTs for this exam expires on 7/12/10. I don't know if my NTS expires upon giving the exam or on 7/12/10 itself. I am using Becker 2008 books to study for REG and at this point, I do not feel confident about the exam. I am afraid that if I failed REG, I'll lose my credit for the first exam (Expiring on 7/24/10). If I failed REG, would I be able to retake it in April?
Please throw some lights!

Glogo,
I took the exam yesterday. The multiple choice was doable and I felt prepared. I hammered MC's while studying and got to the point where I had most memorized, but as was said earlier, as long as you know WHY the answer is the answer, you should be fine. The multiple choice were not curve balls. If you know the material in your study program, you should be fine.
The sims, on the other hand, were tough! Without disclosing any material, suffice to say simulations are drawn exclusively from the tax content. And, you MUST KNOW everything there is to know on the tax side of things. Simulations in the Wiley book and other places I've seen are simplified, and the exam was much more difficult.
All in all, I think I did well enough to pass. Now just to wait 5 weeks for the score! Ugh.
Good luck to all!

@CVACPA
Remember, bankruptcy is only one part of what seems like a million parts of business law, which is only 20% of the grade, and is only tested on MC's. At most, you'll see a couple questions. I'd just move on if I were you. Tax, tax, tax, mixed in with contracts/UCC would be my main focus as you lead up to Saturday. Good luck!

soni, this is my understanding: you can take any one part of the exam only once per each 2 month window. So, even if your current NTS expires July 17th, once you take REG on Feb 26th and fail, you will not be able to sit again in April/May with the same NTS. However, you can quickly apply, pay the fees, get a new NTS and then sit again in April/May or July/August up to the July 24th date when your first exam will expire. Also, with your current NTS, if you feel you're not ready by Feb 26th, you can reschedule REG to the April/May window (if your schedule permits) to give yourself a better chance to pass. Good luck!

Since you can take any part only once per testing window, once you take that part, you can say the NTS expired then because you cannot use it again for that part. If you don't take the part at all, then the NTS expires on the date printed on it. I don't remember seeing this written down specifically in any rules, but you can infer that it works that way.
Thanks MELLOYELLO,
Did you use Becker or Wiley?
Does anyone know which review prepares you better for the exam? I have both, and have noticed that the Wiley questions are tougher than the Becker questions. Does anyone else believe this to be true?
If so, which review questions would you recommend?....or should I ask - which review questions are more simlar to the exam. ;-)
Thanks!!
