Hi,
I would like to know whether the 2012 Exam Content differs much from the 2011 Exam content, as currently I have the 2011 Becker Edition and was wondering whether I needed to buy the 2012 edition to get the most updated information?
If anyone can provide that information, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you very much

There were a few changes to the conceptual framework. They are well represented on Becker's Updates with suggested changes to the passmaster software and to the flash cards.

I don't have the 2012 material but it should already be in there. Typically, new pronouncements become fair game for the exam within 6 months of the effective date (if there is an effective date).
As you can see from the below, not a lot happened after July 2011 that you'll have to worry too much about until after July 2012.

Additionally, pronouncement policies and exam content.
