    This is probably a long shot, but I figured I’d ask fellow ninjas.
    My Becker account expired earlier this month, and I’m taking my last exam (BEC) on the 9th. I’ve tried Gleim and Wiley mcq but for some reason, I prefer Becker.

    Does anyone that’s finished with the exam have an account they wouldn’t mind lending me?
    If you live in the Chicago area, I’ll even buy you a drink 🙂

    Yep, it's $300 to extend it another 3 months. Since I have other materials, I'm not spending another $300 for 2 weeks – I've spent enough money on this test lol. I don't necessarily NEED Becker, it would just be nice to have since it's what I'm most comfortable with.
    Thanks for the reply.

    wow what a bunch of %^&* that Becker is, $300 for an extension is absurd and plain nasty, especially on the amount they collect from students who take their class, almost double of all other review courses out there.
    Best of luck Toni!!!

    Agree on the Becker. They would not extend mine, but there were some other people on this forum who said they gave them a 30 day extension for free. Did you call them?

    If you are not stuck on Becker, how about signing up for some of the other programs free trials? I don't blame you for not wanting to spend the money, this whole process is super expensive!

    Do you have a test scheduled? If so, Becker will extend it for free. You have to provide proof that the test is scheduled…your NTS, etc.

    Ah yes, @stilgoin and my annoyance with Becker. I did call them on 2 occasions hoping I'd get a different answer. Did not. Had a test scheduled, they didn't care. $300 or nuthin. I paid it because I still had all of AUD to do and haven't taken the exam at all yet, as well as a 4th attempt with REG. NINJA is super awesome and I actually recommend it in this situation for you BECAUSE it is not what you are used to. The different format will really test your brain and knowledge on the matter and will prepare you in a different way than Becker does. Also, paying $300 is ridic. Do NINJA, you won't regret it.

    Thanks everyone…I currently use the Ninja Audio which are awesome, I just prefer the Becker mcq, as well as the practice exams. I'll try contacting them but it sounds like I might have to suck it up for a few weeks and go without it.

    That's unfortunate some people seem to get it extended for free, and others don't…it's almost like they decide depending on their current mood!

    They used to extend for free but I believe they have since changed their policy.

    I am so ready for this nightmare to be over. Been at this way too long.

    I think the people saying they got the extension got it more than three months ago which is when they changed that policy.

    I have Becker and used it exclusively for my first BEC take. Retake I read through the Becker book but hit the Ninja MCQs, it was enough to get me over the hurdle. I say try Ninja.
