Can you please provide your feedback if you feel it is worth it or not? Any input is appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks MyLife…one more question, at what point did you start watching them? Maybe a week before you tested?

I used Roger cram for BEC and found it beneficial. It was definitely worth it for me.

Pacific1 – I started using it 2 weeks before my exam. I wanted to use the cram 2 weeks out, that way if I still had some weeks areas I could follow-up on them.

that is kinda what I was thinking that it would be good to use before the very end to just help enforce things. I don't currently have a review program with lectures at all that I am using so I might use it once in the beginning and then the last two weeks like you recommended.

Acct – Did you use Roger's review course also? I have his review course and am debating whether to get his cram as well for BEC.

Started sitting in May 2002, on and off. But since 2008 I've been nonstop and my scores are....
AUD - 39, 48, 56, 65, 68, 73, 76!!! (Finally passed in Oct 2011!!!) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
REG - 75 (Lost Credit) 72, 68, 73, 75 (Passed again in Aug 2011) Becker, NINJA, & Wiley
FAR - 65, 68, 75 (Lost Credit) 68, 73, 73, 80 (Passed again in May 2012) Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
BEC - 65, 68, 71, 72, 72, 71, 76 (Lost Credit)- 70, 76!!!! I AM DONE!!! - Roger, NINJA, & Wiley
After 10 long years of studying, I AM DONE!!!! Finally a Licensed CPA in the State of New York!!

I had Roger for Audit, his full course and he was awesome… I had his CRAM for Regulation only cause i was hovering around 73 & 74… His Cram is fast and if you have not taken his course before, than you might be in for a surprise.

Specially if you compare Roger VS Yaeger…One is Speedy Gonzales and the other is a turtle…..

I had his cram for FAR and I know what you mean about being speedy. I think I'm just going to stick to what I'm doing. When I did this the last time for FAR I scored my 80!!

Jomarie did you use Roger for FAR? What was (is) your approach to studying for it if you don't me asking 🙂

[jomarie]

Yes I had Roger's FAR course. I pretty much used that, NINJA notes, NINJA audio, and Wiley Testbank. Those were the materials I used, and followed the NINJA method.

@jomarie

I didn't use Roger's regular review course. I mainly used Becker, sometimes Wiley books, and by the time I got up to the last exam BEC I was also using Wiley Online Test Bank and NINJA notes. There were some concepts in BEC that I wasn't “getting” and I heard lots of good stuff about Roger cram on here (I think from Yankeeaccountant, not sure who else…) and decided to get it as a supplement. It definitely helped me and I would recommend it if someone is looking for a cram course. I ordered it pretty last minute, so I think I had about a week or less to use it, but it was definitely worth it.

[pacific1]

Well I ordered it last night…I threw out all my reservations about the money! I hope it is worth it! I don't test until mid August so I will have some good time to make sure I have watched them the 5 times I am allowed.

@pacific1

The way I see it, if you can afford the material and will pass now instead of having to retake the exam, it is worth it…

[pacific1]

Well I didn't really have the money…but I don't want to keep taking these tests and failing so I made some adjustments to my budget for the next month and was able to find the money to buy….now I will just be flat broke for a month, but if I do what I am supposed to be doing which is studying like a mad woman I won't need money. 🙂

The one problem I have with the crams is the different mnemonics. For OCI in becker it's PUFE-R, in roger its DENT. So it does get confusing. When i used the cram for bec i skipped over any mnemonics and just studied everything else. I just bought the FAR cram and can see that I will be skipping over a lot of them.

I used roger cram as a supplement to becker not the other way around. So when something was different between the two I usually go with becker because i have more experience with it.
