Hello all, I need a quick advice. I'm just about to start studying for REG and I plan on starting R4,R5,R6 and then moving on to R1, R2 and R3. The reason I would like to start in this order is because they last 3 sections (i.e., business law and ethics) are shorter in chapter size. Please advise if this is a good strategy to start the last units before individual and entity taxation. FYI, I'm using Becker.
Thank You.
