If you could only use Becker or Wiley to review the day before your exam…

    Which would you use? There’s only so many hours in a day, and I like to re-work all HW problems the day before I take the exam. This is my first test where I used Becker and Wiley. I’m leaning towards Becker, since normally thats all I’ve ever had, and I passed 3 in a row doing that. This is for REG, by the way. I kind of feel like many of the Wiley questions take significantly more time to complete than Becker. I can’t tell if this is because they are needlessly complicated, or is it to make you think more. Then again, aren’t all or most of the Becker questions pulled from old exams?

    Thanks for any comments/suggestions.

    Wiley questions are licensed from the AICPA as well.

    It really doesnt matter. Both are the same.

    Both are from the same source; however, I always felt like Becker questions were more representative of the actual exam. Wiley is a great supplement, don't get me wrong, I would just stick to Becker for the last day. This just my very biased opinion.

    I would say Wiley personally. Probably because that's my supplement and by the time I get to review time I've memorized most if not all of the Becker questions. Wiley helps you think about the material in a different way (in my opinion) so my vote would be Wiley – I typically use just Wiley the last two weeks.

    Lol, true. I mean, I love the Wiley TB and used it for all sections to supplement Becker. The Wiley TB has some functionalities that I really liked and that Becker doesn't have. BUT, if I were to stick to one test bank on the day before an exam, I'd pick Becker.

    Anyone here know if they are the same?

    Not identical, per se, but they basically serve the same purpose. The difficulty level is the same. The format is same/similar. Doing one over the other is not going to provide any kind of additional benefit.

    I was being facetious in response to your posts 🙂

    The difference I find is in the explanation of the questions…some seem a whole lot better than others,
