    I use both. Started with Becker, but I needed more practice questions to really feel comfortable, so I bought the Wiley MCQ's. Becker's Materials + Wiley MCQs was the best decision I made.

    AUD 81 (X4) Previous scores 59, 72, 72
    REG 80 (X3) Previous scores 59, 60
    FAR 75 (X2) Previous score 67
    BEC 79 (X2) Previous score 58

    I used the Wiley text and test bank and the Becker text. I started out with the Wiley text, but found the material too condensed for me on a lot of topics. Early on in my studying I got a copy of the Becker text from a friend and it provided a little more detail in a much more readable format which was exactly what I needed. However, I thought that Wiley was great for the MCQ and pretty good for the SIMS. I also bought the test bank for additional practice and thought it was an excellent resource. There's little overlap with the book plus it's updated if you buy the online version, it's faster to go thru than the text especially if you use study mode, and it helps you improve your time per question.

    FAR 4/1/11 - 89
    AUD 4/15/11 - 85
    REG 4/29/11 - 80
    BEC 5/13/11 - 85
