I started with Gleim and passed BEC and REG in 2005, but my life was detoured. I purchased Becker earlier in year and I am starting over with FAR section. It’s not really for me. I feel like it is reveiwing things that I need more information about. I’m looking for more of a teaching program. I’m debating on trying another program instead of struggling with Becker. Any suggestions? I’ve watched the videos for both Rogers and Yaegers. Both seem better suited for my needs. I hate to shell out more money for another reveiw course, but I dont want to keep stuggling with Becker either.

Welcome back to the circus!

I understand what you mean about Becker. I have Becker, but have found that I needed to supplement it with more teaching style review.

I still use the Becker testbank, I think it is good to mix up the mcq's that you use. I used Becker for BEC and supplemented with the Wiley testbank, and cpareviewforfree. I did add the Gleim free trial, which I thought was worthwhile. For FAR, I used the Yaeger cram. I think Cindy is great for FAR. She explains nuances very well. Her notes are fabulous,and were really a huge plus in my book. I passed both in April and May 2011.

I used Becker and the Yaeger cram for REG and failed last window. 70 🙁 I decided I didn't like the way Phil explained things, for me, it just isn't good. The notes are are good review tool though. I just ordered the Roger cram for REG and I am enjoying it. I think in large part because it is such a departure from Becker and Yaeger. And because he doesn't have a annoying habit of repeating a word (I.e. Tim G. “alright scholars, now use your highlighter, Peter Olinto, “ok” or Phil ” now”)

He is super energetic and I feel takes the time to explain nuances. I think some people find him offputting because he is so energetic. Can't tell you what I know about Audit because I can't seem to pass that one. I am sitting for my third time next month. I have used Becker to no avail. So, I am going to order the Yaeger cram or Roger, not sure yet. I have heard on the forum that Gary Bulmash is the bomb for Audit. However, for me, his voice is just like the Econ teacher in Ferris Bueller, ( Bueller, Bueller, Ferris…….) haha

I would definitely use the free demos on the websites to see how you like their approaches also check out youtube. Also, check the threads here I think you will find more info on other reviews.

Best of luck to you!!
