I found out I failed BEC by 1 point, so I’m going to have to retake it and have been looking into other study material. I am currently using Roger but decided I want to do the Becker Final Review course for my retake. However, I would have to be a current Becker student to purchase it. I was hoping that someone on here would let me use their account just to purchase it. I would use my own credit card and everything. Just need login credentials. From what I’ve read, I would download the course onto my computer so I only need to login to the account once just to purchase it. If someone could please help me I would greatly appreciate it!!

In all honesty, I didn't find the final review to be all that helpful.. I had it for all four parts but only used it on two. It is basically a very high level outline of the book and doesn't really add any meaningful data. If you studied it only, and only it you would fail horribly in my opinion.

First go at the CPA! Only using Becker

For $50 you can get the NINJA MCQs too…since BEC is MCQ heavy, it would probably be good.

I agree with @trele6

Also, I couldn't be logged into two devices at the same time. I guess if I downloaded the app on my iPad and took my iPad off of WIFI, it would probably work…

@trele6 and @krstnam Thank you both for your input! Do either of you think it would be a good idea to just buy the Final Review book to read? I just need a high level overview as a refresher since I just took the exam a few weeks ago. I saw some on ebay for reasonable prices. I was also thinking about buying the Gleim test bank. I already bought ninja MCQ and am afraid I may be too familiar with the questions since I did all of the questions 3 times already.

Preface: Everybody is totally different. I don't do well with reading longer sections of material and the Becker Final Review book was a little verbose for it to be useful to me and was a complete waste. Some things were overly summarized making it confusing other times it was just way too much for a review. I spent less than an hour looking over the book before deciding it was a lost cause. IMHO, the NINJA notes were better for me than the Becker Final Review book. The notes are actually summarized well and easy to go through.

I haven't tried Gleim before – but I've seen lots of people say it's the most comprehensive.

The hardest part for me with final review is being honest with myself. To help keep myself honest, even if I get an answer correct, I read over the wrong answers and try to give myself an explanation for why they are wrong. If I can't do that, I assume there's something I've missed and make a flash card. I'm in a similar boat as you, didn't pass FAR by 2 points, retake next month and I'm scrambling to get these topics mastered.

Good luck!
