I was using Becker and NINJA for REG and my NINJA has already expired last month.
As far as the interface of the Research Tab, Becker's AL resembles really close to the AICPA actual test software.
During the preparation time from my recent attempt, I decided to familiarize myself with the AL functionality since it's going to be sure 1/6 point out of the 40% portion (SIM) of REG.
I created my own outline and laid out the table of contents.
