    Well, hopefully not the exam! I have Becker self-study materials and wondered why my BEC (and now FAR) didn’t have all the stuff I was seeing in the lecture. Umm…yeah…somehow I only got the Final Review books and on the site, it was waiting for me to select the text books to ship.

    So…yeah… I sat for BEC a week ago after only having studied from the Final Review book. Sigh…that explains a LOT…like why there was so much I did NOT recognize. Goodness…I feel like a complete dumba$$.

    Who knows…maybe I could still pull off a miracle and pass BEC..until then.. on to FAR lectures until I get my actual text book.

    BEC - 02/21/15 - 82
    FAR - 05/29/15 - 82
    AUD - 07/09/15 - 93
    REG - 11/14/15 - 80

    All done!!!

    LOL the final review books are less than 1/5 the length of the normal Becker books. Didn't you think that it was a bit light?

    In hindsight.. sure I think they're a bit light.. I couldn't even tell you what I thought. I didn't know there were two sets of books! I'm not sure I want to see the real text books!

    Update: By a miracle, I passed BEC with just the Final Review books! Gives me hope for passing FAR now that I have the right books! But man, it's a TON of material to get through!

    Wow, mommyof3 –

    How did you pull that off?

    I'm soooooo impressed. Good for you!

    On one hand, I want to say – don't try that again.

    But, hey, if you can figure out how to take short-cuts like that, more power to you.

    FAR - 86 - 2/27/14
    AUD - 75 - 5/29/14
    BEC - 80 - 8/31/14
    REG - 89 - 2/27/15
    Praise Jesus! I'm done!!

    Becker

    @Tux – I most definitely do NOT recommend that method!! It was the most UN-intentional shortcut!

    Thank you and I don't know how I pulled it off considering the lack of a real book to study from and I couldn't sit through those lectures. I basically read the Final Review book with its now obvious limitations and beat the MCQs to death until I was scoring in the high 80s or above.

    I will add that I am fortunate to be a good standardized test taker and have a pretty decent skill for absorbing information quickly and retaining it long enough to test. That coupled with putting in lots of hours led to that 82.
