Hello All,

My name is Tish. My Becker expired…I plan on going full Ninja once I get paid this Friday. I've taken 14 exams in the last two years which almost equals the amount it would cost me to re-purchase Becker. By God's grace I finally passed AUD (5/31/18, 78, 5th attempt) and BEC (08/01/18, 76, 6th attempt). I am retaking REG on 10/30 (1st attempt: 60) and am planning to retake FAR on 11/30 (1st attempt: 43, 2nd attempt: 67).

1. Approx exam date: 10/30/18
2. Topic you're most-comfortable within this exam section: Business Law/Ethics
3. Topic you're weakest in / worries you the most: Federal Taxation of Entities, specifically Partnerships.

Wishing all of you the best of luck! Looking forward to studying alongside of y'all.

@gryfi,

Been a few days, but the difference is gain on distribution of marketable securities (of another company) in the first question vs. gain on the sale of treasury stock (its own). Corporate proceeds on it's own stock are not gain/loss events. However corporate proceeds OR distribution of another company's stock is a gain/loss event.

1. I am taking REG on 11/22
2. I am most comfortable with Business Law
2. My weakest area is Individual Income Tax and more specifically Alternate Minimum Tax

I have been preparing for over a month now and my scores are in mid 60s. I read that other folks suggest to keep practicing MCQs so getting Ninja for a month would definitely be helpful.

2. I am strongest on none of it. Maybe Blaw, but it counts for so little…
3. I am weakest in anything that deals with tax. I am have a terrible time keeping the differences between Partnerships, S corps, C corps, Trusts, Estates, LLCs, General partnerships straight. And don't even get me started on basis!
