I’m currently on my second class of the Becker FastPass at my college and am starting to want to self-study. It definitely keeps me focused, but while at home reviewing for my first exam, I felt even more prepared (and sane). I feel as I can simply watch the videos at my library at home and work equally as hard, while not cramming 3 review courses into the month of June.

My firm has paid for the materials and class for me. If you were in my shoes, would you still go ahead and do self-study or stick with FastPass?

I am doing self study. It's nice to be able to study from home at my own pace and be able to pause/rewind the lectures. Plus, I've taken and passed 3 on my first try and I take FAR in July.

I also prefer Self-study/online to FastPass. With a FastPass, unless you have no life, no gf/wife, do not venture anywhere and by venture I mean don't go out, don't visit family, don't BBQ or even mow the lawn, then it is a great program. Otherwise, stick with the slower but surer pace of the self-study giving yourself enough time and increase chances of passing.
