So just a brief summary about me, I started studying for this exam last Jan/Feb 2013 basically few months after graduation. My attempts are below, I have been using Becker, tried multiple ways of studying. Did not study the same way every time, I tried multiple ways to switch it up and find success. Got Wiley test bank on the last REG attempt and I thought it was a great investment. I have Ninja Notes but used them only as back up in Weak areas and never really rewrote the notes 5 times as recommended because I felt I wanted to use more time for MCQ and learning more details. I used Ninja Audio for REG and I liked it, I might buy the FAR. I feel unorganized, down, burnt out, and considering going for a change and leaving Becker to Roger maybe. What are your thoughts? Where you in a similar situation? Like I just feel like I need a better structure to follow. I have OK scores but getting those extra few points hasn’t been successful. I have FAR scheduled 5/31 and considering restarting on FAR with a new way. I am exhausted of failing and having no life for 14 months without getting anywhere. I am not a quitter but I am at loss now. What do I do?

FAR 5/13 – 71
FAR 6/13 – 68
REG 11/13 – 67
REG 2/14 – 71
REG 4/14 – 71

Thanks in advance!

 

 

FAR - 71, 68, 74, (8/31/14) 78 ✔
REG - 67, 71, 71, (10/18/14) 78 ✔
BEC - (11/29/14) 86 ✔
AUD - 73, (4/4/15) 86 ✔

I can't believe this is over! 2 years and 3 months..

I guess I will try Wiley, do you think not watching lectures won't be a problem?

Why dont you try Roger's cram course? You pretty much have the basic concepts down and need a refresh. I suggested this to my friend who couldn't pass her last two exams, and she ended up passing the next two times. She said it really helped in seeing the material in a different way and she loved his mnemonics!

AUD: 74, 67, 76!
BEC: 70, 75!
FAR: 76!
REG: 67, 73, 79!

I understand that you feel exhausted. Although I passed AUD and FAR using Becker at my first attempt, I failed REG twice. I spent tons of hours for preparation and ended up getting 68 and 73. Then I decided to switch to Roger. I really enjoyed watching the lectures. I got my degree outside of the U.S. and think Becker didn't do a good job in explanation of the concepts for people who are not familiar with the subject. And Roger was fantastic. I finally UNDERSTOOD the chapters. I didn't re-write anything nor read the book, I just watched the lectures and did MCQs&simulations as many times as possible.

As for BEC, after failing REG I decided to supplement Becker with Wiley test bank and passed at first try.

If you feel that you need to use other study material, I would say, go for it. Wish you good luck!

AUD - pass
FAR - pass
REG - 68, 73, pass
BEC - pass

I think part of your decision depends on your learning style. If you are an auditory learner, the lectures are a great resource. I know others that feel lectures are distracting and a waste of time. I found Becker a bit shallow in some areas. After failing one part multiple times, I decided to switch to Roger's study materials and I passed. Changing study materials was very motivational to me as it was fresh and the different presentation was what I needed to finally pass that section.
