Becker Question –

I missed Goodluck’s blame-shifting…that, plus I like to stir the pot.

I can honestly say I do not miss them a bit!

FAR- 63, 75
AUD- 61, 78
REG- 63, 74, 80
BEC - 63, 61, 75!!!!! I'm done!!!!

Well I'm re-studying for FAR and I must say that it's a lot clearer the second time around so that's nice. I'm struggling a little with F2. Its difficult for me to follow Gearty. I'm much more of an Olinto fan. If anyone wouldn't mind breaking down the major topics/important points from F2 I'd really appreciate it. It seems like Gearty never emphasizes important facts but instead just reads the book to you. Thanks for the help!

I totally agree with you about taking responsibility. I failed all of my tests the first time even though I was using Becker. Instead of complaining about getting crappy scores I read what other people were doing and starting to figure out what worked for me. After revamping my studying, I have taken 2 tests and passed them both. For me it was watching all the lectures, taking notes, and using Ninja notes. Pretty much everything Jeff suggested. Now do I expect to pass FAR and REG this next round? All depends on me! How much I study, How much I work. Not the review course I use. A pre-recorded video can only do so much. Anyways, sorry for rambling!

Bump. Becker fan club! Woot woot!!!

haha! Excellent idea, Mini! Go Becker! WOOOOT!

I'm planning to use Becker too – I just talked to someone from CalCPA tonight and he said to buy the Gleim CDs too because they have questions that Becker doesn't have. Is this true?

[Minimorty]

Yes, but the Wiley test bank is better than Gleim. I used Wiley as a supplemental for 3 of my exams.

I like Becker as well but I think it all depends on personal study habits…I'm on to REG next; heard Becker is weaker on this exam so I'm implementing Jeff's notes a little more this time 🙂

Using Becker, Ninja Notes, and CpaReviewForFree

FAR - 87 (2/17)
REG - 89 (4/21)
AUD - 89 (5/31)
BEC - 89 (7/11)

I am doing REG too…again…I have Becker, Ninja Notes and the Wiley Test bank. Based on my prior exam I feel I understand the material but do not understand how to pick apart the question. Becker and Ninja is what I used on BEC and Becker on AUD and it worked well for me. YAY FOR BECKER. *High Five*

LEGEND…wait for it…DARY (just for you Elaine)

Love Tim, hate hate hate Peter. Sounds like a guido from NJ trying to explain accounting to me. I've wasted so much time having to go back and re-read material that he covers 2-3 times b/c I don't learn anything from his lectures.

@Mini when you supplemented with Wiley, did you do ALL the Wiley MCQ's? I've only supplemented Becker with Wiley for AUD (great idea btw), but only did about 200-300 questions from Wiley.. I just didn't have enough time to do them all… I've heard Wiley+Becker for REG is awesome… I might do all the MCQ's on both since I am so scared for REG lol

I love, love, love Peter. He actually takes the time to explain things and give example. Tim is ok.

[Minimorty]

I'd guess I did about 20 sets of 20 total, so about 400 questions. Is that close to all of them? How many are there?

[jenuno01]

I don't have REG, but AUD is a little over 1,000 questions. Did you pick your weakest topics? Or did you just do random quizzes?

Class of 2012

[Minimorty]

Only did random questions. I dont know how people “learn” from MCQ. I just used it to keep the material fresh and pick up small nuances here and there regrading the “tricks” they like to throw at you. I thought the SIMS were better preparation for actually understanding the material.
