I received all my booklets back over a week ago. According
to the answers, I passed all four parts, thank goodness.
Part 4 was nasty, and I was very annoyed on Part 3 that
after spending hours studying Section 1231 vs. 1245 vs. 1250
gains, there was not one question one any of that -- but we
got three questions about cows.

There should be _lots_ of challenges -- so many questions
were worded so ambiguously it was anybody's guess what was
meant...

Good luck all!

Yep, I agree. Part 4 was MUCH more difficult than the
"usual" Part 4. I did pass it, though (barely). Part 2 was
the killer for me. I'm hoping that they find three "bad"
computation questions. If they do, I'll pass all 4 parts.

Oh please do!

Challenges are my only hope for Parts 2 & 4. Yes, that's
right, Part 4 was an absolute bear this year.

OK, pros set aside some of your time to take these tests and
let's compare answers with the power that is(i.e. IRS).

There seems to be many opportunities for challenges from
what I have seen so far(Part I only).

Let's post our responses and see if we concur. It will also
be good practice, especially the corporate part, for a
refresher for most of us.
