I am listening to audio mcq's. btw: How do you take notes on the audio mcqs without stopping the recording every two seconds? Mcq is not going good because I am getting them wrong. Anyway, I am trying to stay focused. This is going to be a long day FULL of study all day! 🙁 🙁 OK rant over, back to study.

A) $0
B) $40,000 long-term capital loss
C) $40,000 Section 1231 loss

Anonymous1. Exam scheduled for October 29th
2. Most comfortable with Ethics and Individual Taxation
3. Weakest area is Business Law
Anonymous1. I am currently studying for the REG exam to take in Early November.
2. I actually work in tax for a CPA firm and I am fairly comfortable with that portion of the exam. A lot of the topics I have address throughout my career, however I am trying to pass it now to avoid the 2018 tax law questions to come into play. I have enough studying to do on that just for my job come this winter.
3. The business law portion does make me nervous. I feel like I am learning and making progress here, but I do feel it is a lot of memorization and luck at times that gets me the correct answers when taking the multiple choice study questions.
I just recently took and AUD exam twice and made a 74 & 73 back to back. So my morale isn't the greatest at the moment.
Good luck to everyone sitting soon!
