To just feel like you never will get past this exam? I will be honest. Some days I feel so motivated, so confident I can get past it, then there are others days where I just feel disheartened, not knowing if I ever can overcome the exam.

After failing AUD twice with Yaeger, and a probable fail with Yaeger on BEC in July, i have finally decided to go onto the Becker program and give it a legitimate chance. How does everyone use Becker? I have to be honest, i really really am enjoying the becker program and think it really works. Does everyone just go through it exactly how it is ? Watch the lecture do the homework/sims then move to next lecture then repeat questions and supplement wiley test bank? That’s my plan.

I am optimistic that Becker will guide me to the promised land but some days are just better than others. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is time management. I know that needs to be my main focus. I just wish I could succeed like others instead of being the one who is embarassed to say they are not a CPA.

My current program includes studying for an hour before work, studying an hour at lunch then anytime i can after work and on the weekends.

Keeping my fingers crossed that the change of program will help me get to that 75. Any advice always welcomed.

BEC- 67, 69

@Journey – I tried to do every MCQ once the first time through, unless it was a quicker section where I had extra time that week to re-do some. But for the most part just did them all once first time through all sections, then went back during the last couple weeks and reworked the ones I had missed until I had them all right. AUD was my first exam, so I actually did all the questions, including the supplemental. Since then I have skipped the optional, but if you have the time I would do them all!

AUD 85 (2/12) Using Becker
FAR 81 (5/12)
BEC 79 (7/13)
REG 85 (10/1)

@ Journey To Fate, I'm sure this is not the best approach but I would always go back and do the ones I got wrong immediately. I also never skipped the Optional Practice Questions; I know sometimes there are tons of them, but I always felt like they did a great job of touching on some things that weren't necessarily seen in some of the other questions. (I'm just also going to note that I def have this issue where I want the software to say that I've 100% completed everything before I move on to the next section). I would usually go back and redo everything all over again, so it wouldn't be until about a week or so after I had already gone through the material once; I would usually do this without much review of the book as well. That way, it was a really good test of what I retained and whether I learned from my mistakes the first time. If there were still issue areas, I'd mark them and try to go back over the marked ones one last time before the exam. I feel like Becker is great, though, so if you can get through all of the material once and really take your time to understand where you are having issues, you will do great!

F - PASSED (11/26/11)

Just waiting to be able to put those three little letters behind my name...

I used Becker and it was good but it goes light on some areas that probably need the most attention.

I would watch the lectures, do all the highlighting. Spend the next morning doing flash cards then going through the MCQ at night. Then on the third day of the section do the MCQ again and the SIMs. But in the end it didn't pass me.
