I still can't believe it, I'm in shock..I got a 60 on REG, my first exam I sat for.
I used mainly CPAexcel for just over 4 months. I started studying casually during my last semester of undergrad and then got more serious after I graduated. I still have my NINJA notes, my notebook of personal notes, flashcards..I did tons and tons of MCQs..
After a day of depression and reflection I think two things to fix right NOW: 1) RTFQ, I think I went wayy too fast with it being my first test and all the test anxiety, I probably didn't focus on the questions being asked enough. I think I did better as far as reading the questions properly in BEC, my 2nd exam which I am waiting for, and 2) I spread out my study plan over several months..bad idea.
I thought taking REG would be my hardest because I freaking hate tax, in hindsight I should have gone with the other school of thought and taken an easier section first to get more accustomed to the exam experience since I am prone to test anxiety.
Anyways, just venting/fishing for similar experiences I guess. I am going to take AUD and FAR and then go back to REG (after starting work...so much for my great plan..) and go crazy on my old study notes and crank out a bunch of Wiley Test bank problems I guess.
