Is it me or is the Cpareviewforfree site much harder than Wiley or even AICPA released questiones? Maybe there just different? It’s killing my confidence. Which is closer to the real BEC exam?

You get what you pay for.

Wiley licenses their questions directly from the AICPA.

I think it depends on the section. I thought that some stuff on there was helpful for AUD, but I got fed up with that site studying for BEC. There was a bunch of stuff on there that was completely irrelevant to the exam. It doesn't hurt to mix it up with another bank, but don't let that one kill your confidence. Especially on BEC.

i thought it was very good for the FAR section. The REG section seem a bit off, but i havent completed the whole course (using cpaexcel) so that could be why some section seems a bit off. Overall its a great program and its free.

CPAReviewforFree helped me pass both AUD and BEC, but here's my recommendation – use it as a SUPPLEMENT to Wiley (or other review course). In the 3 exams I've taken, I've found the Wiley questions to be much more similar to actual exam questions (because, well, they are or have been exam questions). I would focus on Wiley, and only move to CPAReviewforFree when you have been through all the Wiley questions multiple times and are starting to memorize the q&a's. That's when you may need a fresh author with different questions that may help you to fill in a couple holes here and there.

Relying on CPAReviewforFree as a stand-alone study program is very risky. You CAN pass with it (I did on AUD), but Wiley is simply better, and gives you a better shot at passing.

AUD - 79
BEC - 88
REG - 87
FAR - 86 - Woot, all done!
Ethics - 100

I definitely echo what others have already said. I mainly use CPA Review for Free as a filler during work hours.

FAR ~ TBD AUD ~ TBD
REG ~ TBD BEC ~ TBD

Yes agree with all the above… use cpareviewforfree for more variety and practice questions. I did all the questions after i did Wiley…
