REG – October/November 2008 Window

22. Sep, 2008 20 Comments

Any score update info and all REG comments regarding the Oct/Nov 2008 test window (studying as well as exam results) will take place here. This saves people the trouble of having to read multiple posts on the topic.

Please:
1. No posting of actual exam info (hints included)
2. For legal reasons, if you think that company X has horrible material and you failed miserably using them, please don’t mention them.

If your comment doesn’t follow these loose guidelines, I won’t be able to post it.

As always – thank you for reading.

First round of scores won’t be out until at least November 14. Only 70% of REG scores (between Oct. 1 and Nov. 7) will be in that release. The rest will be in the December release. Illinois Board of Examiners does a great job of updating score releases.

Thanks for having this website! It’s nice to know people are struggling as much as I am. My co-workers are breezing through the exams like it’s no big deal! So frustrating.

Blake- I pretty much had the exact same situation as you. Got a 74 my first time, studied my heart out again, and left feeling worse than the first time. I am crossing my fingers for a particular simulation to be graded.

Ed –

The Illinois State BOA website does a good job of keeping candidates informed. They get released to IL and then IL puts the scores on their website. If they come in on the 17th, then sometime during the working day, they’ll be up on the IL website for IL candidates.

Now, candidates like me whose BOA uses NASBA to post scores online will have to wait a day or two after that because they have more scores to deal with. If your state BOA post scores to their own site – you will get them sooner than someone who has to check NABSA. Click the Score Release Info link on the left side of my page and it will take you to the IL BOA update page. No need to check at 12:01…it won’t be there yet.

REG Candidate Performance avg report for Q3 is as follows.
Ethics and Responsibilities 76
Business Law 77
Tax Procedures 76
Property Transactions 77
Individal Taxation 77
Entity Taxation 78

How this adds up to an avg 75 is anyones guess.

So I just found out that I got a 71 on REG. I plan on taking it again in the beginning of January. I have Becker 2008, do you guys think that I need to get the 09 book or not? I know that there is new tax rules every year but I’m not sure if much will change for the test because we don’t usually have to memorize specific numbers that change year to year. I really don’t want to have to listen to the lectures and highlight again, I am thinking I will be ok just using the 08 material again. Also, if changes will be made to the tests (that goes for all of them), when and how will they be officially announced?

Anonymous – have you tried calling the software company and extending the life of the materials? You don’t always have to purchase new materials, sometimes you can just buy a password that enables the software to work.

Try that.
