So i just got my 5th failing score for BEC (that is not a misprint - 5 times!). Clearly I need a new plan. I have used Becker and managed to pass the other 3 parts on my first time. I am considering getting Yeager but I realized that theres a "homestudy" and CRAM and I am not sure which one to get. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

onlineadminI would definitely go with the HomeStudy to be safe. I scored 74 74 on REG and I still got the HomeStudy over the cram...I was weak conceptually in a few areas and tried to "fake it" (AMT, like-kind exchanges) and it just didn't cut it.
The HomeStudy is $345 via Club 75.

Defintely buy (at least) the homestudy. Cindy Simpson is an AMAZING teacher and actually takes the time to explain things to you (versus Becker's memorization). Phil and Mike also do a great job of teaching. There's such a huge difference between what I learned with Becker and what I learned, understood, and could apply after Yeager. Good luck on your next attempt. You'll nail it!

offlineMemberI was fortunate to pass BEC on my first try using Yaeger as my main review course. However, I am a belt and suspenders type of guy. I hate to loose my pants! Therefore, I used Becker, Kaplan and Yaeger for BEC!
BEC hits you with so many subjects, unlike AUD, for example. Becker and Yaeger do not always cover the same material for BEC because of the great diversity of subjects tested. There was one sick question on my BEC exam that only Cindy (Yaeger) covered. Becker and Yaeger are like night and day for BEC.
I used Yaeger as my teaching course and Becker as my quick review course AFTER I finished Yaeger. Becker always makes more sense after I finish Yaeger. I just do not learn very well when Becker's teachers read from Power Point.
Take BEC again and use Yaeger Homestudy. You will pass. Talk to Dr. Yaeger personally. He helped me after I failed FAR using Gleim.

offlineMemberI've managed to fail BEC 3 times now, mostly using Becker. I just purchased the Yaeger Homestudy and will attempt in August (REG in April and FAR in July already scheduled).
I do have an oddball kind of question for anyone. I've had several (well 6) concussions and have some difficulty in memorizing things. Does anyone have any tips? I have the devil of a time remembering those formulas.

Dhuffman - i have a friend who got some sort of dr's note which allows his double time on each part (meaning you get 2.5 hrs normally for BEC- now he gets 5 hrs). Maybe that is something worth looking into although it probably wont help your memorization issues. good luck!
