    LOL… My first thought was to burn them, and I see you were also thinking about the same thing.

    I haven't done all 4 exams, but I'm thinking about keeping them for future reference (though in reality I probably never look at them again)

    AUD - 99
    BEC - 92
    FAR - 97
    REG - 94
    Accounting

    FAR (4/14/14) - 97
    REG (11/17/14) - 94
    BEC (11/30/14) - 92
    AUD (2/28/15) - 99
    TEARS!

    AUD - 89 07/02/14 (Becker practice exam: 74, 83)
    REG - 92 08/18/14 (Becker practice exam: 75, 84)
    BEC - 83 10/03/14 (Becker practice exam: 83, 70)
    FAR - 91 11/24/14 (Becker practice exams: 64, 77)
    *also utilized Becker Final Review after seeing practice scores for FAR*

    I plan on burning mine. But in reality they will probably sit in my closed or I might let someone borrow them.

    C'mon man, didn't you listen to the lectures? Have Peter Olinto autograph one and sell it for $20,000 on ebay!

    I plan on buring mine. Nothing else would be as satisfying…

    I'm with most on here. A day at the range, followed by cremating the remains may be therapeutic. My thought is, re-selling them isn’t worth the licensing violation and well, keeping them, what’s the point? If you need to look at them down the road, it’d be much more efficient and effective to look up online with any one of the vast majority of tools we have available to us.

    I plan on having an extravagant party for the sole purpose of burning my Becker books. I sometimes dream about the day.

    Keep them. They are your friends. They help you pass. They have done nothing wrong.

    Study material for the CPA exam really doesn't make great reference material for application in real life because despite the ridiculous amount of material they still don't go deep enough to be useful. Also, they become outdated so quickly, even if it did completely cover the topic you needed, which isn't likely, you wouldn't know about any standard changes, etc.

    AUD- 95
    FAR- 75
    BEC- 83
    REG- 85

    Officially done! Exclusively used NINJA for BEC, REG, and FAR

    Congrats on passing FAR Rocky! I was browsing the threads looking for your signature lol. And I agree. Keep the books. Maybe even show others in the future what you had to go through? (friends or family)

    There was a video on here a while back of someone shooting their books out of an air cannon…it was fantastic!

    Thank you! I worked very hard to pass. Made a lot of sacrifices. I can't tell you how good it feels to have my life back. Keep at it. You can do this.
