After failing AUD and FAR using Becker, I want to use other study material. Since all the exam related costs are piling up, I can not afford a whole new program. I will get the NINJA Notes and read/rewrite them several times like Jeff suggests but have not decided which test bank to use.

WTB sounds good and I have heard good things about it. However, cpaexamforfree.com has a large amount of questions for free but I am not sure if they have simulations.

Has anyone had experience with this site?

Any recommendations?

Invest your time in AICPA-licensed questions is my recommendation.

I don't have Becker, but have heard everyone swear by adding the WTB to it. This is an investment into your future, if you don't want to pay for the retakes invest into material that will add the most to your studying.

imo cpareview for free has good simulations, but the questions I don't think they add a lot of value to your studying.

@ Jennifer241

Since I do not want to retake it again, I do want to get the best study material that I can afford. Since they have good simulations, I may get WTB and use cpaexamforfree.com questions as a final practice exam tool the weekend before my appointment.

G3, the Wiley Testbank has been invaluable to me. What I like about it is that I can go over questions I haven't seen yet or questions that I got wrong before. I also found that the format of WTB closely approximates what your computer screen will look like on the actual exam. (Passed REG and AUD using Wiley books and WTB.)

That said, I've used cpareviewforfree a little bit as well, just to get a different set of questions and really make sure I knew my stuff. Extra practice never hurts.

Good luck!

REG - 85
AUD - 99
FAR - 89 - w/ NINJA Audio and Blitz
BEC - 91

Are the questions on cpareviewforfree.com not AICPA-licensed questions? If not, are they simply making questions up? 🙁

I personally didn't like that free site. The questions are super long and odd. I used Roger CPA review which comes with Wiley test bank so I'd recommend Wiley for MCQ practice. Guess there aren't many choices but I think Wiley is good enough for practice. A matter of understanding the material is really personal.

FAR: 81 (May 2013)
BEC: 81 (July 2013)
REG: 83 (August 2013)
AUD: 82 (November 2013)
