How far did you get with the curriculum? I plan to finish Book 2 in 2-3 days.

I've got approx. 300 pages left from my 1st pass. I had scheduled myself to be done by Jan 31st, but I don't think I'll make that. 300 pages in 1 night is a lot for me.

2nd pass I will study the examples, make note sheets and do all EOC's. Hopefully I can complete that by end of April and then review for the last month.

The curriculum is not as difficult as level II, but I fear the questions are going to be brutal. I just hope I have enough in my head on test day not only correctly, but also quickly.

-30% of Passmaster completed.
-0% of FinQuiz questions completed.

-First live class starts this Saturday, Feb 5th.

Having issues getting adjusted to the essay format, especially in relation to IPS formulation. I look at the answer I wrote down and compared to the guideline answer, there are a lot of key points that were missing. Some of the tax formulas are also a PITA to memorize.

Don't try to memorize tax formula that's brutal... like David H said in Stalla lecture just try to get the concept and do it like a simple math then it will be much easier...it helped me!
