    I am using Becker's 2011 REG book for my exam at the end of the month. My friend told me that she compared the 2011 book to the 2012 and there weren't that many changes. All ancillary materials became an additional chapter. I think that is what she said. Anyway, we shall find out whether or not it is okay if I pass at the end of the month.

    Good luck with your studies!!

    I used a Roger 2010 BEC book, with the printed updates and Wiley 2012(plus NINJA Audio and Flashcards) for BEC in November and January(passed the 2nd try). I think you will be fine as long you have updates. But you have the 2011 book so that covers the new changes, you should be okay.

    I passed REG with Roger 2011 book with updates and Wiley 2012, NINJA Audio and Flashcards.

    It was a little annoying to make sure I read all the updates and pieced it together, but it was sufficient.

    Good luck!

    I want to use 2011 Becker materials for BEC as well. A friend has the 2013 edition and seems that there are a few changes to the formatting of the chapters, but all material is the same.

    The major difference is the addition of another section, which is ancillary material in the 2011 book. How important is the additional section when it comes to studying? Meaning, the ancillary material in the 2011 book, is it heavily tested (or at all) on the exam?

    the only way i would learn the ancillary material is thru mc's. i would go thru all the questions and understand it. i didnt take notes or spent too much time reading the ancillary material. most of the time if its covered in MC's i got it covered by doing the mc's until i got them right. hope that helps.
