Should I Reschedule REG Because My Simulated Exam Scores Are Low?
Do not reschedule based on panic alone. Do not keep the date based on pride either. Use evidence.
Start with the score breakdown
A 60 caused by one disastrous TBS testlet is different from a 60 caused by weak performance everywhere. Look separately at individual taxation, entity taxation, property transactions, ethics, business law, TBS execution, and timing.
Ask four questions
- Are my weaknesses specific?
- Can I explain my missed questions?
- Are my scores improving?
- How much usable study time remains?
Keep the date when
- Most material is familiar.
- Weaknesses are limited.
- Mixed scores are improving.
- You can execute TBSs.
- You have enough time for targeted repair.
Consider rescheduling when
- Major chapters were never learned.
- You are guessing broadly.
- Basis feels completely foreign.
- Business law is mostly random guessing.
- TBSs consistently collapse.
- Your schedule does not allow meaningful review.
Do not let Reddit make the decision
Somebody else's practice score and actual score combination does not determine your result. Online anecdotes can provide perspective, but they are not your readiness data.
The takeaway
Your exam date should follow your preparation, not your fear level.
