I am graduating in May, and I plan on sitting for the BEC in July. I am currently using Wiley CPAExcel. I am spreading the material out over this time period (March – July). The studying seems to be a LOT of material, almost overwhelming. As of now, my plan is to follow the Wiley plan, then closer to time supplement with the Ninja Notes. Then after that do a two month study test the 3rd strategy, again supplementing with Ninja Notes. Any suggestions as to changing something, test order… anything to help me prepare better?

I'd suggest starting with the NINJA notes and use Wiley to expand on topics as needed, and condensing your study time frame down to 6-8 weeks. Five months is a long time to retain the topics that you studied first.

Roger Review + Ninja MCQs

It's great that you're already studying for the exam but is there any particular reason you decided on taking BEC? With that much time I'd suggest studying FAR which has the most material.

Yeah, I'd tend to agree with mjf227. I am using CPAExcel, and just started studying BEC two weeks ago. I'm already 50% through the material studying around 2-3 hours a day, every day. I'd see about moving your test date a LOT sooner for BEC, or you're going to start forgetting a lot of the material,

Wiley tends to look more extensive than it is due to the “bite size” lectures. But if you think BEC is a lot…FAR is easily 2.5 times that amount, and significantly more difficult. 🙁

But to answer your question, Wiley supplemented with Ninja MCQ is a solid plan.
