    I’ve been reviewing my notes and found that there are at least one specific topic per chapter that I’m just not comfortable with. These include Installment Sales, Consolidations, $ Value LIFO, Pensions, Interperiod Taxes, and EPS. Something about these subjects are either just a little complicated for me or there’s something that’s keeping everything from “clicking”. It’s a little frustrating but I think re-reading those sections and trying to form things into my own words should help.

    What are/were your weak areas? How did you overcome them or how are you planning on being awesome at them?

    I think you're off to a great start on tackling your weaknesses for the exam. The biggest part is knowing exactly what you're weaknesses are. I think the only reason I passed REG on the first try is because I made a list of my weaker areas and tackled them. I did endless MCQs and simulations. I paid special attention to why the right answer was correct and why the others weren't. It was discouraging seeing some low scores on a question set or simulation and it was hard to make myself sit down and continue. But nothing could beat the feeling when I logged in and saw a passing score on the exam! Just keep going! I'm sure you'll do great 🙂

    I wrote them down by hand. Typing didnt do it. But i sippose this is a learning style thing.

    I did flash cards.

    Finally, many MCQ sessions very concentrated on one area each until i got it, then tons and tons of MCQs combining all the weak areas i had just concentrated on.

    Good luck!

    A lot of time, the best thing to do is to just walk away from it and come back to it either the next or following day.

    It helps to clear my head and when I go over it again, it just clicks.
