At fictional Maple & Pine Advisors, Jordan has REG left after passing three sections. He gives himself six weeks. Week one refreshes individual tax: filing status, gross income, adjustments, itemized deductions, credits, and property transactions. Weeks two and three cover entity taxation and basis. Week four covers business law and professional responsibilities. Weeks five and six are mixed sets and simulations.
