Hello,

I have used the Becker program in the past but have not had any success with passing any section that I sat for. In my opinion I found the Becker lectures to be boring, the Mc ?s useful, while the simulation help was good for some parts (BEC) and horrible for others (AUD). Sometimes I felt that I was not motivated to study at all but after taking a break from the exams I am looking to really focus and get through them. I have heard great things about Roger CPA program and for half the price of Becker it seems worth it. I know Rogers videos are up tempo but I have heard people saying that the questions and study planner are a bit confusing. Can anyone please post which program they haved used and just give some basic information as I would like to make a decision on which program to buy so I can pass these tests and finally get my license.

Thanks for the help.

hint hint…… to spend $1500 more on top of the $3500 I spent for Becker 5 years ago, $1500 to renew Becker, and close to $2000 I am going to spend at cpaexcel so I can get units to qualify under new California standards. Not to mention all the misc crap I picked up on Ebay. Oh yah I had Gleim for a while a couple years ago.

After writing that above paragraph I feel dirty and shameful. I need to cut my credit cards and disconnect my internet and phones. Or I can pass these freakin exams! :0000

Kitty your loyalty for Roger is cute maybe you can confess your love to him on the dating game:)

I spoke to an ancient wise man who sent me on a mushroom induced journey through an ancient forest to find the key to passing the CPA exam. A talking spider monkey told me to throw the last of my drinking water in the dirt to find what I was looking for. So I followed his instructions and the following message appeared in the soil:

"Do 5000 multiple choice questions for each section"

I personally LOVE Roger system, it fits me, because this guy has so much energy while talking and explain it in an easy manner that keeps my attention at full. Once that I watch his lectures, then when I go to the book I think .. hey this is a piece of cake!

However what confused me for a time was how to study coz he doesn't teach ALL but the big rocks as they say.

So, the great thing with CPA reviews is that you can chose according to your personal preferences.

I hated for example CPA Excel.. hated it! hahaha but that was NOT for me only, that doesn't mean is a bad review..

So all that said, hope you guys find the best for you.

Study Monk, instead of renewing Becker, should have purchased Roger… but oh well, too late now. And that's my point exactly – see how much you spent on Becker + additional materials?! With Roger you pay once and you are done within a year or less.

Lol. I saw that show…not in love with Roger. But I did love the review! And see, I'm not the only one. Guys love Roger too 😉

Yes, go back to studying!!! 😉

So did Roger change it up? I just got my books and there is just one set? Did he use to send the Wiley books with shorter books/notes from him? That is what I was expecting.

Still have the Wiley Test Bank CD.

Anyways I can't vote on Roger yet since I just began, but after seeing my two coworkers using Becker having passed only ONE exam between them (BEC) in a year I thought it may be better to go elsewhere. The same coworker that passed BEC added AUD to her pass list soon after… but I'm pretty sure Roger is going to be the better option for me.

Thank you everyone for the feedback. Just so I can clear up some confusion Wiley ?s are included in Rogers review and Rogers also has their own set of review ?s. Rogers basically has 2 sets of ?s right?

And how is Rogers simulation training? I felt Becker did not prepare me well at all for the AUD sims.

@Giants 13, Roger includes the Wiley text book (includes questions) and the Wiley test bank for every course section that you order. Additionally, Roger has his own lecture book that includes questions; however, those questions are typically copied and pasted from Wiley's material. He may have his own questions on some chapters, but generally they are copied from either the Wiley Test Bank or the Wiley Book.

BEC - 76 (02/09/14) - ROGER CPA REVIEW / Wiley Test Bank
REG - 88 (01/30/15) - ROGER CPA REVIEW / Wiley Test Bank / NINJA Test Bank & Notes

@GoGatorsCPA and @Giants13, I cant verify this as I have not received my materials yet but I did speak to someone from Roger CPA a few months ago and he told me they would no longer be using the Wiley TB. I have noticed that every section of Roger's book now has the class questions he goes over in the videos + about 20-30 “study questions” for self-study (I have no idea if those were there or were not there before). The links for the Wiley TB are still in the online course and I do still see it mentioned throughout so that employee could have gotten that wrong. I will update you on what is included once everything arrives on 12/24. Was going to arrive 12/23 but UPS emailed me they have some issues unloading the truck?? lol
