Becker seems to be very confusing. Are the questions from homework at all similar to the actual exams or are they totally different? The only reason I am sticking with becker is because my company paid for it. I bought Wiley as well but I hardly get done with Becker and don't get time for Wiley at all. :/
@Golfball – I'm taking BEC April 4 as well. First exam on my CPA journey. I'm using Wiley mostly, and just bought the Ninja MCQs and am finding they are A LOT HARDER. I'm doubting myself now. 🙁
BEC - 75 (3x)
AUD - 78 (3x)
REG - 67, 66, Aug 1
FAR - 54, Sept 8
I'm scheduled for the 19th. I wanted to take it sooner but then got shipped to NYC for March so I don't know how much I'll be able to study. I have used Becker for FAR/REG and will use it for BEC/AUD as well. I normally do two chapters per week and leave two weeks to hammer NINJA MCQ. I believe my plan has me starting to study on the 16th of March.
4/6 for me. I like taking it on Mondays so I have the whole weekend to cram.
I finished reading the Wiley book and have gone through the Newly Released Questions (the only ones I could find on the net). Going to do only MCQs for the next couple weeks (Ninja MCQs at home and Wiley's text MCQs on the commute).
About 2 weeks before, I'll go through the Ninja Notes/Audio a few times and continue the MCQs and redo the Newly Released Questions. The Saturday and Sunday before the test, I'll redo the MCQs I've missed. No MCQs on the day of the test…just Ninja Notes/Audio and personal notes.
It is my last test. Although it's supposed to be the easiest, I want to make sure I pass it in one shot.
