All right, I have failed REG twice, both times with scores of 47 and 60. I got Becker for REG cause I already failed twice with CPAexcel and Wiley. And I just took BEC on 2-28-14 and found out I passed BEC with a 81, and now I am at a crossroads. Should I stick with the same strategy I had for BEC, or go with Becker? (I have until the start of the class, 3-24-14 to refund Becker)

Here is what I did for BEC:

-Read CPAexcel study material (completely skip the lectures) and do ALL of the MCQ

-Do ALL Wiley Test Bank MCQ

-make flashcards from MCQ and review them

-look at the Wiley Test Bank progress report on which sections I did not do well in, and read the corresponding chapters in Wiley textbook, and do the corresponding MCQ

-Ninja notes and audio 5x

-write Ninja notes 2x

I honestly would say stick to what has worked. I am currently following the same method you are now only difference is I am reading the Wiley textbook. I plan on doing every single question in CPAexcel and also every question in the Wiley testbank. I have 3 weeks of review once I am done reading the book this weekend and plan on rewriting the Ninja notes everyday.

I wish I would have followed the Ninja method a long time ago but I was skeptical. Good Luck.

AUD - 73, 72 retake 7/2/2016
BEC - 8/20/2016
REG - TBD
FAR - TBD

I am so ready for this nightmare to be over. Been at this way too long.

It *could* be the exam content that made the difference on BEC, but that looks like such a good study method that you used, that it had to play a big part. I agree– go with what worked.

AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
FAR 83 (5/21/14-the above + NINJA 10 Pt Combo Lite)
REG 84 (7/9/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC/Notes)
BEC 76 (10/5/14-Wiley books/TB + NINJA Audio/FC)

Thanks guys. Looks like I'll have some catching up to do. I've spent the last week using Becker. I wouldn't call that a waste, but in terms of this plan that worked for BEC which is using CPAexcel as my main review course, I'll have some catching up to do.
