    Help! I have Reg on monday and it’s currently Saturday. I took one practice test last Sunday and got around a 62 on it and spent the week doing ninja MCQs and looking at what I missed (used becker for normal studying) and I just took another practice test and did even WORSE with around a 56.

    What makes it more frustrating is that it’s not a few areas I’m missing, it’s across the board. I thought I was doing better, so I have no idea what to do. This is my last one and I really don’t want to have to take it again.

    Any advice for what to do between now and monday?

    I've only done 360 MCQs this week (decided to spend a day going back and reading problem sections) but my average is 62 and my trending is 63. I was doing bad half way through which was when I wnet back and read sections, and then starting doing better on the questions again but now the practice test went terribly. I have no idea what to do.

    What practice final test set material did you use?

    Edited:
    I guess, you already mentioned Becker.

    I scored 70 and 76 in my last two attempts for REG. Both times my scores for final practice tests were in the high 60's (with Testlets 1-3 of MCQs in the high 90's and SIMS being poor).

    Are you willing to reschedule for a $65+ change fee to make sure you know and master the material better?

    I'd suggest pushing it back a week or two and really getting a better feel for A1-4.

    I can't really reschedule, as I work full time and already put in my day off for Monday, and don't have anymore time off available for the rest of the year. And I have no time to take it next weekend even if I wanted to. Unfortunately it's kind of do or die at the moment.

    I actually only took once practice exam don't like take practice exam before exam; I think it would affect your performance. Personally, I think reading is more important than practice questions before the exam.
