Update for me: losing it on BEC. This week was horrendous at work so it has severely hampered study time. I am not through all of the lectures yet (have a little bit of 5 left in Beckers and almost all of 6). I feel like I'm in a lot of trouble as far as taking the test May 6. My boyfriend says take it anyway, and if I fail, re-take in July.
So my game plan is changing. Jeff – as in Ninja Mistier Jeff of the Ninja 10 Point Combo – blessed me last night with a one chapter preview of his BEC book. Its supposed to come out on Tuesday. It reads very well – concepts are well put and seems to hit on some topics that I haven't seen in the Becker's material. When the full book comes out (hopefully on Tuesday), I'm switching over, and then I'll just use the AICPA released questions as my practice exams. Master those and get through the new BEC book.
If I could go back in time with Jeff's new material, I would have skipped Beckers, and just done the Ninja way. I am hating the way Beckers is presenting this material. It worked well for me for the other 3 sections, but not for this one. Sorry Beckers.
Icandoit: I think you may be okay with the older book, but I have not seen it. Supposedly some big change in COSO occurred in late 2013 that is incorporated in the more recent material. You may want to consider supplementing a little bit (possibly doing some online research on COSO 2014).
