My question is this, should I read through the college accounting textbooks, before I go through becker.
I do not have a degree in accounting or experience in accounting. Most background in terms of both degree and job is in marketing. I scrapped together the requirements with some 2.0, passing courses with online accounting courses couple years ago with the help of my husband often..oops… do not know how i passed… as i was working in multinational marketing, travelling with kids, just carried along somehow to qualify for the exam.
Due to career shifting plans and stability and growing respect for accounting, Now I am thinking of taking the exam…
My strategy. I am properly reading intermediate accounting textbook and the advanced accounting textbook before i study becker for the far. and then with auditing read the auditing textbook then do the becker stuff… then read tax textbooks before becker, and then take regulation.. and finally just do becker for bec, as I have some idea of the content in this section.
So is this the right approach. Also I heard that becker simulations were not as strong as required and to use wiley simulations as an extra prep tool.
I was going to give one month to reading the textbooks and dummies version of the content, and sometimes doing problems, but focusing on understanding the technical side if accounting and then two months for becker and wiley prep stuff where I will practice all the problems. Average of 5 hours a day of studying at least.
Is final review of becker worth purchasing?
Is this enough?
Please advice on these questions and am i on the right track. I do not know where to start. I want to finish all the 4 sections in 2013.
I have a very rudimentary knowledge of accounting and I need your guidance folks. PLEASE respond appropriately. Thank you
