I am considering ordering the Becker Final Review for BEC. I was wondering if anyone could tell me whether or not the Final Review is worth it or not? Thank you.

I've ordered them for Reg and Aud. They are great for getting a good handle on simulations.

Well I can tell by your score, something has worked. haha. BEC doesn't have simulations at this time so it won't help in that area. How many times do you do the regular MCQ's before moving on to the Final Review? Or maybe I should ask, how good of a handle do you have on the material before moving on to the Final Review?

Oh I totally missed the part that you were asking for BEC, haha. That's actually a good question, and I'm curious myself now. Since the final reviews for Reg/Aud mainly focused on the simulations…I wonder what the final review for BEC is like!

Generally, I only do the MCQ's 1-2 times for each lecture. The only ones I do the second time are the ones I missed on the first go-round. I try not to allow myself to memorize the answer to any MC, but rather the reasoning of “why” it's the correct answer. I also make sure I thoroughly understand the material before doing any MC's–how I do that is another story, lol. Then, after I've completed all the lectures, I'll go back over all the MCQ one more time. I don't even worry about the ones I miss at that point, just reassure myself on the reason of why the correct answer is correct.

That's when I move on the Final Review…which is usually about 1 week before the exam. Then I'll go back and do the Final Exams on the main software the day before the exam. So to answer your question, I guess I have a fairly good handle on the material before I get to the Final Review so that I can focus on the simulations and not be learning concepts that I should already know.

Sorry for the long-winded post and if it doesn't make sense. Tax season has ruined my thought process.

I've taken the Becker Final Review for BEC, AUD, and REG. I think it is worth it if you can spare the cash. The class comes with another book which is worth the cost alone in my opinion. It is a very condensed version of the normal class. Plus you walk out of the review session with a list of things you need to work on.

The people at Becker say that they like to think that the Final Review can add up to 5 points to your score. I don't know how true this is but I haven't failed yet. I intend to take the Final Review for FAR in 2 weeks…
