My Reg exam is this Sat. and this is where I’m at:

I have done all MCQ for the chapters 2 times, including the book, and all supplemental MCQ 1 time.

Went through Wiley questions w/ fair scores and took both Becker finals,80 the first exam and 65 on the second :-/.

My plan is to now go back and read each chapter for any small details that I’m mssing on the questions… Not sure if this is a good way to spend my time.

Can anyone offer past 1 week prep advice.

Thanks!

Sounds like you did a lot CVACPA. Did you do any of the extra simulations? Also, are you comfortable with how long you take to answer the MCQ? REG is the tightest on time for answering MCQs of all 4 parts. Good luck to you. REG is next for me too…

I recommend going through as many MCQ's as possible.

I focused my preparation on anything that allowed me to move through my MCQ's quickly on exam day, in order to accumulate additional minutes for the Sims. On exam day, the number of questions that are highlighted for review should be minimal, and any questions that you know you can't answer should be answered quickly with an educated (or as much so as possible) guess. The extra time for the simulations allows you to use the test to take the test. Split screening and using the authoritative literature for your written communication and parts of the simulation can add many points to your exam score.

With that said, I always had time for a quick run through of each MCQ testlet to double check my responses.

One technique that helped me in the last few days before the exam was to go through as many MCQ's as I could again, and for any that I got wrong I wrote out the correct answer with the explanation. I took this listing of just answers and explanations with me whenever I was going somewhere where I would have to wait, and it provided a listing of concepts that I knew I needed to understand and remember. I read it one last time in the prometric parking lot, and it gave me a lot more confidence walking it, which I needed since it was my first exam! I also wrote out a time schedule for myself on the scratch paper to make sure I worked quickly enough through the MCQ's like wvCPA mentioned. This helped me pace myself, and I finished the exam with one minute left. Good Luck in you last week!
