I think you should be good. They said you can use the 2014 materials until March. I don't think it would hurt to check what actually changed in each of the sections. They have that listed out when you login..you can click on one of the links that tell you all of the changes for each of the sections in a PDF. Also i would use the V 1.1 in the software. If you have the 2014 book the lectures may not be exactly what's in the book but it is just little parts and I believe you can get away with the 2014 book and the 2015 lectures. I did for financial and audit. I ended up ordering the 2015 version of the book because I hadn't studied for audit until recently and it was only like $15

@cpatobepr-The first time I had only done 6 of the 10 Becker chapters-so I didn't do gov't or nfp, cash flows, EPS ect. So actually the 64 was good for only doing 6/10 chapters haha. I ran out of time and my NTS was going to expire and my body was rejecting studying lol. The second time re-doing the self study (lecture then hw) and watching lectures for the last chapter then I just re-did the hw questions. I actually thought I did a lot better, but whatever I'll take the pass.

Thanks for the help. but the textbook2014 is good until March? I will take AUD, REG and FAR in Q2( April and May), is it OK?

Update: I have decided to use 2014 textbook and keep an eye on the udpate posted on webiste!

You should be ok with using the 2014 book. Just select the V 1.1 lecture and HW in the software. Whatever is not in your book will be covered in the lecture.
