Based on NINJA and Yaeger, it sounds like it isn't worth focusing on specific phaseout dollar amounts. Does anyone have any feedback either for or against trying to memorize specific phaseout rules? Is it more important to simply memorize whether a phaseout exists rather than the specific dollar threshold?
Seems nearly impossible to memorize the phaseouts... I'm sitting in February 2013 and I have 2012 material. I assume a lot of the phaseouts will change compared to what Wiley published for the 2012 textbook over a year before my exam date.
