[NotAnother74]

Hello all,

New to the board here.

Little background, I have passed -0- parts of the exam, I took AUD last year (July) with Becker and failed by 1 point. Thus my handle “notanother74”. I was in an MTax program and didn’t have enough time to study, so it’s probably not fair to blame it on Becker, I only studied audit for 2.5 weeks.

Anyways, I was ambitious after graduating undergrad in December 2009 and I got my Becker materials in November 2009, online edition. Being ignorant, I got the material opened them right up installed the software and starting making my study plan so on so fourth. Got to the MTax program and quickly realized that I would not have time to study for the CPA exam and take a full load to finish in a 11 months before starting at my job. Not to mention my student loans didn’t leave enough to actually pay appx. 1,000 bucks in exam fee’s. So, I attempted Audit and obviously it didn’t work out as I originally expected.

Couple of weeks ago, after busy season, I started to study Audit again but realized this little box in my lecture that said “expires in X days”. What?! Not knowing anything about expiring (If I spend 3,000 bucks on something I assume it’s mine) I researched and realized “whoop’s, I messed up”.

So, I still have the books and the flashcards, but I will lose my software in 29 days, the lectures aren’t important to me as I stopped listening to them because I cannot focus listening to lectures, I do better reading, but the questions are obviously VERY important.

Will the combo of Becker books and flashcards with the $50 Gleim question software CD’s with 2,000 question per section work? I don’t have a whole lot of money to spend on $250 exam fee’s and extraordinary software, so please, no suggestions on Yaeger, renewing Becker, ect. I simply do not have the money, so just a disclaimer.

F AR - 76
B EC - 82
A UD - 77 (lost credit)/Retake 2/25

the other thing that never hurts is cpareviewforfree.com has MCQ's that I haven't seen in the Wiley books or in the AICPA released questions from previous windows. And if you hate it, was free so no harm no foul!

FAR- 77
AUD -49, 71, 84
REG -56,75!
BEC -75

Massachusetts CPA (non reporting) since 3/12.

Imho cpareviewforfree is too hard and ruins your confidence. I did it for audit, my first part, got owned. Tried it for reg and stopped. avoided it for BEC and FAR. it causes more harm then good,but its free

NEW YORK- DONE

I registered just to reply to you, OP. You can print out all the questions while your software is still active – that way you will always have them. A pain, I know, but free and effective.
