Is the Becker self study material for FAR really worth the premium ($1252)?

Dave, I have done self-study with Becker for REG, AUD and about to take FAR. I though Becker was worth it for REG and AUD, but, be prepared to spend 2 months+ to go over all the lectures and questions for FAR (13-15 hours per chapter, at least). If you don’t have this much time, go with another provider. Unless you work is paying, why pay the big bucks and skip the lectures like many suggest on this forum?

Becker feels it’s best to cover much more than you will actually need to know, which is fine for a subject like AUD, but for FAR its ridiculous.

I actually picked up an old textbook and was *amazed* at how easily I picked up the NFP concepts. I spent 3 days listening to Becker lectures and attempting MCQs and go nowhere. If you are able to score 70, seems like you are pretty close, so not sure Becker is worth it.

@Dave 71 my thoughts. I would go with Jeff's Ninja Notes and re-write / re-type them several times leading up to the test as well as Ninja MCQs and I'm almost positive that you can pass being that you came so close previously.

Don't shell out the money for Becker unless your firm is paying for it. Doing Becker Self Study FAR right now and my firm is paying for it so I feel good, but you're already so close to passing that I don't think Becker is worth it at this point.
