I am starting the fastpass program on Monday, June 11th. To this point I have viewed the lectures for FAR, AUD, and 1/2 of REG taking all of the notes and highlighting until my hand went numb… then I used the left hand. I began this in January as I had my materials directly billed to my future employer who I start with in mid-September. I have a pretty rigorous testing schedule ahead of me and I was wondering if anyone has had any success with fastpass. Any tips?

Has anyone used Ninja notes with Becker? Do they align well? Worth the $?

FAR - PASSED (80)
BEC - PASSED (82)
AUD - PASSED (81)
REG - PASSED (77)
DONE

I have no experience with fastpass, but I am in awe of your testing schedule. Jeebus. That makes my head hurt thinking about it……

Holy CRAP.

Good luck to you. I think it's possible and would be PUMPED for you if you can pull that off. Will be looking forward to seeing your success!!!

No rest for the weary…..all this pain is an illusion….

FAR 88
REG 89
AUD 89
BEC 86
DONE!!!

I am currently doing the FastPass as well. It’s designed to have you take the exams at an accelerated pace. While they offer suggested exam dates, you still have to be comfortable enough with the material to be successful on the exams. Although I try to stick with the suggested dates, I also have to be practical because it takes me a while to absorb the material and grasp the concepts. If you learn at a fast pace, put in the work, work the MCQ (understand why the correct answers are correct and vice versa), then you will be successful. Good luck!

I'm so glad I'm not the only crazy person attempting this!!!! (although I'm using Roger not “fastpass” whatever that is).

I have the ninja notes and really like them. That being said I didn't really start reading them until i got through all the material once, since I find it confusing otherwise. I am starting with FAR and have only used them for that, but they provide all the details that I would otherwise forget. I don't know that they are super helpful for understanding the concepts as a whole but they certainly have helped me remember the little details that may make a huge difference in how something is handled.

There's quite a few Becker people on here who use the ninja notes to supplement here is a thread with feedback:

I'm doing FastPass right now as well. Honestly, I just follow the plan like Becker tells me to! It worked for REG, so basically what I do is watch the lecture in segments, reread those segments, then do those MCQs. The progress tests are important to help you remember content from previous chapters and I try to go back and reread previous chapters if I have extra time (rarely). I supplemented Becker with the Wiley test bank, though, because Becker repeats questions and I was starting to just memorize answers. Looks like we've got pretty similar schedules for the next three tests. Good luck!!
