Just got out of REG. The good news is the 2nd test let was considerably harder than the first (thank goodness), but I ended up getting 2 research sims. The first research sim was easy (figured it out in 2 minutes), but I think I bombed the 2nd research simulation. I spent about 15 minutes and ended up guessing so that I can move on and finish the other sims. Has anyone had a similar experience and passed?

Well hopefully that one you bombed was the pre-test. from what I've heard the if you get 2 research one of them is most definitely a pre-test. how were the other sims?
I saw a certain topic seem to pop up overwhelmingly often. I thought I knew it well, but I guess I didnt. Could have an entire exam within Becker chapter 5
@Tiramisu definitely be familiar with property transactions (like kind exchanges), partnership distributions, the taxability of early pension distributions, partnership formations, c Corp distributions. Also be able to calculate individual gross income with information scattered through multiple exhibits.

I hope that second research gets tossed out. It seems totally unfair to get 2 research sims. I would’ve been better off with a TBS sim where I can get partial credit instead of that 2nd sim with no chance of partial credit
