I am planning to take all four parts this year. Do you think I can get away with using the 2012 videos and Wiley material, vs. purchasing 2013 material?<br> <br> <br> <br> Randy - What recommendations do you have for preparing for the tax preparer and ethics related questions on REG?<br> <br> <br> <br> Maggie - Do you know when the audit reporting standards are changing on AUD? I heard everything is changing starting July 2013.<br> <br> <br> <br> Brian - I didn't do all that great on REG. I think the problem I had was reading the chapters too much and not working the questions enough. Would it be a good idea if I focused all my energy on your NINJA notes, flashcards, and multiple choice questions and shy away from the textbook? I feel like I learn better reading cram notes than reading from the text. Have you seen any other student study in this manor and succeed?<br> <br> <br> <br> Hershey - I am preparing for FAR and planning to sit for the test in May. But now I am thinking that I should instead sit for Audit since it is going to change in July. What do you think?<br> <br> <br> <br> Shauna - Is there a complete IRC database online similar to the one in the exam software (other than the one available in the AICPA sample test program)?<br> <br> <br> <br> Adam - I studied my butt off for Audit using a video course and the Wiley test bank. I came out of the exam feeling like I got every question correct. I could not have felt more confident on the exam and the material. I got my score and ended up with a 71. I'm in complete and utter shock at my grade. Have you heard of this before? I feel like my exam was switched with someone else's.<br> <br> <br> <br> Sylli - I need to send my resume to one of the Big 4 firms, but I haven’t started taking the exam yet. Should I put the name of my review course in my resume?<br> <br> <br> <br> Andrew - I failed REG for the second time. The simulations are killing me. What can I do to improve in the sims?<br> <br> <br> <br> Michelle - It has been a long time since I have taken the exam and I am very nervous about starting this again. I do not remember the information about the new test format for each part, I do not know when the scores come out. I am like a new student with an old past.
