Regulation Update

I continue to plug through Regulation using Wiley/Yeager. So far so good. Phil Yeager is the teacher and so far his lectures are the best in my opinion. He's a little side tracked here and there, but I don't really mind that. He presents the information clearly and I can grasp it.

Plus Business Law is fairly interesting to me.

I should be through the business law lectures by this weekend, and then I will spend a couple of weeks doing MC questions and studying the handout before starting on tax.

My NTS is waiting approval and I hope to schedule the exam late this week or early next week!

I'm Still Here!

After my BEC exam was over the plan was to take 2 weeks off. I ended up taking 3 weeks off and then did a poor job of studying during week 4.

I am happy to report that I am finally back in the game and studying my way through Regulation!

After BEC I was wiped. I knew I needed some time to just stop, refocus, and have a normal couple of weeks. I won't do the same after Reg (maybe a week off), but I had been going non-stop since last January (busy season), so it was a welcomed break.

I found out yesterday that I PASSED BEC! I was shocked. I had so much going on in my life at the time, that the test wasn't my first priority. I passed by the skin on my teeth though, so I know I need to crank it up another notch to pull out passing scores on Reg and Far. Having 2 of the 4 done really makes me motivated though. There actually is an end in sight! Amazing.

So my goal for regulation is to get through Business Law in November and Taxes in December. I've already warned friends and family that the holidays will be a little stressful for me this year! I am planning on taking the exam in mid January. I haven't scheduled it yet, but I'll get around to that next week. Once I have a date, it is that must more motivating!

Happy Studying!
