^^I just got a 72 and I work in tax. 😫 Everyone told me to not worry about the last 4 chapters, but I had a fair amount on b-law. Shot myself in the foot on that one.

I found myself learning the most in the last two weeks of review time - so don't sweat as you're going through the material, as they will all come back to you as long as you take time to review

I just got a 70. Retaking in a week.

I'd like to know as well.

If you fail and need to retake what is meant by the end of a testing window. The month you take the test? Or quarter?

Put in the time. Do homework, chapter summary, and practice test questions until you can't take it any more. Then do a few more.

Dont master certain topics. Better to get a decent coverage of all chapters. Understand diff treatments of basis and distributions between corp and partnership. Keep on working thru problems til you get the hang of it. And dont ever forget to study on the ethics portion!

Some times I feel bad when fake experience people join the company and overtake other people with genuine experience. But in today’s scenario fake is equivalent to genuine.
