NINJA Question –

Hi guys! I just failed FAR with a big fat 57! However, I am going to retake AUD first, since I got 73 on that one, and I just purchased Ninja Assault via the score release sale. Do any of you have experience with this program? I studied with Wiley but thought I give Ninja a shot.

If it works well I will use it for FAR retake!

I use Roger and I purchased Ninja Scout as a supplement for FAR. I really liked the MCQs and sims and thought they were very comparable to the exam and prepared me well. I liked them better than the practice available from Roger, but didn't think the notes and flashcards were very helpful since I had a full course already. I'm considering getting Scout or maybe the next one up for Audit, too.

I used Ninja exclusively this year, and it worked out well for me on all but BEC (no fault of the program, I did not have a solid understanding on a couple key topics). I felt more prepared than I did for any of the exams I took preparing with Wiley.

AUD - 56 - 68 - 61 - 9/8/16
REG - 75
FAR - 7/15/16
BEC - TBD

@Jennifer that's what I wanted to hear! I passed BEC on my first try with an 80, and just missed AUD by 2 points with a 73! I'm thinking with Ninja I'll pass AUD hopefully in February and then I'll go back to studying for FAR with Ninja.

A bit of advice for BEC…concentrate on key words in the writing. I think that's what helped me pass!

Last time, the writing portion was the ONLY place where I got “stronger.” I won't know the breakdown for this round for a few more weeks, but I expect the same. I also know for a fact I messed up the econ questions, so I didn't even expect to pass. Did you use Wiley for BEC? I think I'm going to go back through the program again this year and supplement with Ninja. I plan on retaking around 1/17.

AUD - 56 - 68 - 61 - 9/8/16
REG - 75
FAR - 7/15/16
BEC - TBD

Does anyone know if the new revenue recognition standards will be tested in Q1?

Is anyone using BECKER? If so, does anyone suggest using both BECKER and supplement with NINJA for FAR?
I just found that my 2nd attempt at FAR scored lower than my 1st attempt. UGH!

I used Becker and Ninja audio/MCQ for all my sections. I did the whole Becker program and did Ninja mcqs during my review period. It worked for 3 of my sections and I'm going to do it again for FAR.

I used NINJA as a supplement with Becker, and I added in Roger Cram the last time I took FAR. I also used the NINJA vids for some topics I could not get with Becker and Roger. I know that is a crazy mix, but I kept finding different ways to introduce the topics to myself until I found a formula that worked.

B | 62, 78
A | 73, 67, 79
R | 82
F | 59, 59, Waiting

Ethics | 93

@Jennifer I did use Wiley for BEC. I didn't spend enough time with COSO and that's what I was heavily tested on, so I'm not sure why I passed except that I did well on Sims. Wiley is good, but I think that for retake purposes I'll just use Ninja.
