    This question I am about to ask might be ”low” as it depends on the individual but I will still ask.Which review material is best for FAR and why? It is Wiley,Gleim ,Becker ,CPAexcel or……..The reason for this question is that I want to write FAR end of April and want a review material which can deliver the goals in this short time. Forgive me if this question looks very ……

    There are many thread where this has been asked and honestly the answer has always been – it depends on you.

    Some people say Rogers is best. Others Becker or Gleim or CPA excel. It really depends on what type of teaching style works for you.

    Are you someone that wants a motivational speaker who manages to deliver the concepts by not boring you to death = Rogers will most likely be your choice.

    Are you someone able to self teach yourself by reading the books etc – Gleim or Wiley might be a better choice for you.

    Are you someone that is able to tolerate a lecturer isn't hyper or funny = Then Becker or CPA excel can be your choice.

    Many suggest go to you tube and check out sample videos.. then make your choice based on what worked best for you.

    Totally agree with @Kenada. I've been using Wiley for each test because it's cheap and I can learn from reading the book. To each it's own though. I honestly think having video's, supplementary material will make life sooooooo much easier. Wiley is so dense and boring.

    AUD - 99
    BEC - 84
    FAR - 93
    REG - 87

    It really depends on your learning style. I used CPAExcel for AUD, BEC, and REG. It was good but I struggled to get through the material in a reasonable amount of time. The FAR section in CPAExcel is about 70% larger. I know me and I know I need a course that is more concise than that as I will never get though that material.

    FAR- 85 I'm DONE!
    BEC- 75
    REG- 60,60,75
    AUD- 74,74,83

    CPAExcel used for BEC, AUD, REG
    Exam Matrix used for FAR plus NINJA Blitz, cpareviewforfree and a little CPAExcel
