    Hello,

    I would like to thank everyone who read and posted comments for my earlier posting. I appreciate taking your time out of busy schedule. I’ve decided to follow everyone’s advice and to keep working while i really buckle down and study this time. I’ve paid full price for 2014 Becker and finished video lectures for all 4 sections(all 4 textbooks have notes and underlines from the lecture and i have all multiple questions, hw and sims for all sections in pdf from 2014 books).

    Would using the 2014 books with content updates available on becker website suffice to take the exam this year or should i buy 2016 becker materials available in pdf forms sold on ebay again? My becker subscription has ended by the way.

    Thank you.

    I bought my Becker at the end of 2014 (October maybe), but didn't get serious until August 2015. I still have access, due to the Becker promise for all sections. I saw changes to the following during my studies:

    FAR has changed a lot (extraordinary items, LCM testable after April 2016, GASB pensions), and REG has changed (estate tax). I believe there haven't been many changes to AUD or BEC. Note: I can't remember when group audit standards hit, so if you see nothing regarding group audit, you need to update.

    FAR 72, 89
    BEC 80
    REG 90
    AUD 79

    I second that motion! Matter of fact, they are using the exact same BEC book as the one from 2014.

    Motivated by JC. I do it to make God proud.

    FAR: 91 July 2015
    AUD: 83 October 2015
    REG: 81 January 2016
    BEC: 83 February 2016
