    Okay…..as everyone probably knows by now, Becker is freaking expensive. Has anyone used only the Becker books but supplemented with Wiley problems?

    I have Becker and often find myself reading Wiley book (FAR). Not a big fan of Becker FAR book: I do not see a flow of information; they jump around too much.

    Just IMHO.

    FAR
    AUD 02/10/14 passed
    BEC
    REG

    Roger, WTB, Ninja materials

    I think FAR for Wiley Becker for REG.

    That's what i've been doing!

    FAR 5/14 88 PASSED!
    REG 7/13 74 :((((((((....! I cant believe it!!!! I studied so hard...
    REG retake 11/29 -> 89!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    BEC 10/11/12 -> 84!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    AUD 10/25/12 -> 95!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm DONE! OMG 8 months of hard work.

    I SHALL PASS. BECAUSE IT'S ME, SO EVERYTHING WILL BE OK!

    I am using the same strategy. Study Becker books and work on Wiley test bank. I am also thinking to supliment it with Ninja notes. My first exam is AUD schduled for July 27. Please let me know if anyone thinks this is a bad strategy and why

    @TiCPA I agree with just working on the Wiley test bank for AUD. I think the Becker book is the best I've seen for AUD so far-when you know that book well, you should have a solid base for doing the questions from any other review you're using. I've only just started doing the test bank questions on AUD, so I can't vouch for those yet…..but judging from my exp using the Wiley test bank for BEC, the questions are worded in a pretty similar fashion to what you might expect on the exam. I think you should be fine as long as you know all the questions inside and out.
