So, honestly I’m tired of my Becker BEC review. I need to pass this exam! (Retaking it). Do you recommend the audios from ninja? What do you think if I hear audios and do MCQ? What do you recommend?

It gets a little tougher mid way during preparation as the motivation drops and fatigue kicks in. I felt the same way and I am sure many others felt the same as well.

I recommend setting goals for yourself that will keep you going. Having a weekly plan to complete certain section(s) gave me a purpose. Tracking my actual study hours kept me motivated and helped to see my progress. My goal has been to exceed prior week's total study time in the current week. It felt good when accomplished or forced to do better the following week when I failed.

Change of scenery (i.e. adding different materials) is helpful but it is a temporary solution. Audio is helpful to remember the previous lectures but I have not been able to use them as the main resource. Ninja Flashcards (not sure if they are still sold) have been more helpful than Roger's audio for me.

Making the long story short, my suggestion would be to stick with your current materials and add Ninja flashcards. Don't be tired of anything at any point since your attitude towards the exam is your most important weapon. The CPA Exam is based on understanding main points of a whole bunch of stuff. It is up to you to either make “educated guesses” during the exam or realize that you are passing the exam while taking the exam.

Hope these are helpful.
