    Hey all-

    I AM WONDERING FOR THOSE WHO USED BECKER AND FAILED OR PASSED BEC, WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE FOR PASSING BEC? In other words, what is the best way to tackle this beast and PASS. I have 6 wks to prepare, and from what I hear Beckers coverage of BEC is weak. It is too late for me to switch materials, however, I would love to hear some advice!!!

    Please help!

    REG-90, BEC-75, FAR-73 (02/12/2010--Waiting for results), AUD-88

    Yaeger is the way to go for BEC! I even had 1 weird question on the BEC exam that only Cindy covered.

    You are correct, Becker's weakest subject is BEC. (I used Becker and Yaeger for all four exams.)

    i agree with you 75 CPA. Yaeger is definitely the way to go for BEC…i just took it for the third time on Monday and actually just ordered Yaeger homestudy for FAR as well (even though I already paid for Becker 2010 FAR material!) Oh well, I need to go with what works and Yaeger does a far better job of actually explaining concepts so you can apply those to the exam. That is the way I felt during my BEC exam – I actually knew what to do on most of the calculation questions! I don't wanna chance it for FAR. I am looking forward to Cindy again lol

    AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

    I think the thing with Becker for BEC is that the multiple choice questions are literally ridiculous. The exam questions are NO where near as hard as the Becker ones…so I feel it wasted my time. I was so stressed trying to understand how they arrived at some convoluted answer that I think it took away from what the main concept was. It honestly confused me!

    AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

    We are taking FAR the same day! What state are you testing in? I am in Mass. I am also waiting on my BEC score (3rd time). I am waiting on my Yaeger material to get here..just ordered it today. It will be a LONG 5.5 weeks but hopefully it is my last section. I am glad I have all you guys to share this experience with me. It makes it way more bearable!

    AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

    TX here. When will the Yeager material arrive? Glad to be taking the test with so many others too! Hopefully,we nailed BEC this time. Did you start studying with Becker for FAR or just switched to Yeager? Our scores in the same range – can Ihope for a 90 in REG too? Do you work in taxes?
