Hey guys:

I’m on my way to finishing up re-watching lectures with Becker for FAR. I heard Becker goes into a lot of detail (which can be good) compared to Wiley MCQ’s (which, from what I’ve read, really hits home to drive in basic concepts.) The last time I took FAR, I studied soley with Becker (lectures + all MCQ) but I didn’t feel confident going into the test. Now I’m studying FAR for a 2nd time and have a limited amount of time to re-study. Should I ditch Becker MCQ and go straight with Wiley MCQ?

FAR - 8/30/11 [60] | 11/23/11 [88]
REG - 10/28/11 [84]
BEC - 1/2/12
AUD - 1/21/12

I'm biased to Wiley since that's what I used. Especially for the price, I have zero complaints.

FAR - 76
BEC - 69, 75
AUD - 74, 76
REG - 67, rematch October 2012

What was your studying schedule like? Just sets of 30 MCQ for each topic until you get 70-80%?

FAR - 8/30/11 [60] | 11/23/11 [88]
REG - 10/28/11 [84]
BEC - 1/2/12
AUD - 1/21/12

If you want AUD or REG for the weekend, order now because I am getting low on pins and I don't have my new order sent to me yet and it's getting closer to closing time on the East Coast (Wiley is in New Jersey)

I've been using only Wiley and passed my first 2 parts.

I do 20 question mini tests and I'm usually in the 75+ range when its time to sit for the exam.

I can't speak for Becker because I've never used it, but I have no complaints about Wiley. I think Becker is WAY overpriced when you can pass with a Wiley book/software. But of course you have to put in the study time.
