Hello People,

I am planning to give CPA exams early next year. I have 2014 Becker study material and also Wiley 2014 exam review.

I was wondering if my 2014 study material will be helpful to study from? Or do I need to buy new material for 2015?

What is the validity of study material for the year it is published. I am new to this forum so could you please help me to get answers to my questions.

Thank you everybody in advance.

I'm not sure about the rest of the tests, but if you purchased REG after July 1, 2014, the materials are good through June 30, 2015

Here's some info straight from the horse's mouth (AICPA):

AICPA Page: https://www.aicpa.org/BECOMEACPA/CPAEXAM/EXAMINATIONCONTENT/Pages/default.aspx

AICPA PDF: https://www.aicpa.org/BecomeACPA/CPAExam/ExaminationContent/ContentAndSkills/DownloadableDocuments/CSOs-SSOs-Effective-Jan-2015.pdf

As long as the table of content of your Becker books matches this official detail, you are good to go. I passed FAR in 2014 using 2012 version of Becker book. No problem, whatsoever, because nothing changed in exam content and skills specifications.

AUD: 80's (Passed)
FAR: 80's (Passed)
BEC: 80's (Passed)
REG: 70's (Passed)

You'll be fine. It won't be optimal, and it might cost you 1 or 2 points (maybe more; maybe less), but the opportunity cost to squeeze out those potential last few points isn't worth it.

AUD: 88
BEC: 79
REG: 81
FAR: 72 » 74 » 88

Study method: 100% watching videos, including solving problems covered therein; no books, paper, or pencils
