I am sure this has been asked 1m times, but I have access to Becker 2012 material. Will it kill me to use this on the 2014 BEC and AUD tests? (I assume FAR and REG would be impossible). Would it be wise to supplement with other material or is this a fruitless endeavor?

Thanks!

I don't think REG would be totally useless. I don't think THAT much has changed. Obviously the personal exemption amounts have, but that's not something you need to memorize for the exam. The deduction amount for medical expenses is 10% instead of 7.5% …. don't think there was anything else too different.

B- 82
A- 84
R- 67, 72, 78
F- 83

I'm using Becker 2012 to take REG and FAR in 2014, am I wasting my time? I just don't want to spend the extra money when I got an Extra course CD when I used the Becker promise one time so I have a brand new 18 month license to use. I just figured I'd update myself with Ninja Notes. What do you all think?

Thanks.

AUD - Passed - 82 (10/1/13), Expires 4/1/2015 (57,62,64)

@determined CPA –

I'm sticking with mine, I figure the questions can't change that much and it's good information and practice. And as long as I use Ninja notes with updated info I'll catch the new information. What do you think?

I caved last night and bought updated becker for 2014…but I also have BEC and FAR left as well, which I think ill need updated information for. Not sure if it was the smartest financial decision but at least now I don't have to worry all the time if I'm wasting my time…

With the ninja it comes with the Wiley test bank – which they did update the other day so you'll probably be good. Will this be your first time taking Audit?

I used 2012 software when I took Audit on 10/1/2013 and I passed it with an 82. I just took BEC 12/6/2013 and I'm waiting for that score now. I've been using the 2012 software for a long time. But I think my current work experience helps me too. I was an Auditor for 5 years, and now a Credit Analyst at a Bank. I think I'm going to stick with 2012 software.
