Do they expect us to remember the limits, brackets, phaseouts, and other numbers for the REG exam? Or do they provide those numbers in the questions usually? Gleim has so many questions that require you to recall specific brackets and phase out numbers.. It’s kind of freaking me out! (I don’t have the best memorization skills)

Does anyone have any suggestions on the most important limits, phaseouts, brackets, and other numbers I absolutely NEED to memorize? Or could anyone direct me to the forum that discusses this? Obviously, standard deductions and exemptions are a must, but almost every line has some limit or specific number to remember and my head is spinning!

Thank you so much!!

What I put my time to was the personal exemption amounts, standard deductions, and calculations such as AMT.

I don't think it would be worth your time to memorize all the phase outs etc.

I got 99 problems but the CPA ain't one.

My manager told me there could be some questions that would require knowledge of the phaseout amounts. However, even if there are there probably won't be a material amount of questions. If you know the other items well enough those questions won't matter.

That being said I'm going to do my best to get a general idea of them but not spend too too much time on them.
