It appears for Business Law the following topics are no longer tested:

a. Documents of Title and Title Transfer
b. Negotiable Instruments

Under the UCC tab of the Business Law section of the MCQ there is the following:
1: Sales Contracts (71)
2: Negotiable Instruments (84)
3: Secured Transactions (48)
4: Documents of Title and Title Transfer (20)

Should I just avoid #2 & #4?

BEC - Passed September 2016

AUD - Passed December 2016

REG - Passed May 2017

FAR - Passed March 2018

@brickellCPA

Curious as to which Ninja material you utilized?

I used the Yaeger lectures along with Ninja Notes & MCQ for BEC & AUD.

Wanted to see what you were doing for REG.

I have the full NINJA combo. I do all the MCQs (and take notes on the more difficult questions) then use the NINJA PLUS videos and book to supplement the more complex areas. Then the week before the exam I will go over all my notes, re-review what I have to, and also skim through all the sample problems given in the book for final review to keep them fresh.

I passed BEC and AUD this way within 2-3 months and find it to be sufficient.

Oh, and the NINJA Audio is helpful for me too. It helps to take a break from the computer every once and a while so I will go on a random drive to the beach or just around town and play the audio.
