Anyone have tips on passing REG? I gotta retake it. First time through, I read through the book and did MCs. What worked for you guys? Anyone do the Becker skills practice?

Save a significant amount of time for the sims and use the literature for not just the research questions - if you’re good at searching the code it extremely helpful. Plus, sims are 50% of your score now

I used Becker for my first REG exam and failed, supplemented with ninja mcq and passed the 2nd time. I would also make sure you really know the material especially when it comes to identifying the different entity’s attributes. Also, make sure to know business law well. Just my two cents

Surgent CPA. Trust me look into the free trial. Got me over the hump.

Hi Everyone!

A company has made an offer and I wanted to understand if i'm being made a fool.

The monthly compensation is 1,37,500 (16,50,000 yearly) and Variable component (Bonus) is 1,50,000.

However in the offer it says "You shall be paid an annual compensation of Rs. 16,50,000/- per annum Cost to Company."

Which to me sounds like it doesn't consider 1,50,000 to be a part of CTC which is suspicious to me.

How should I deal with this?

Thank you!
