I’ve been using Roger full course and have supplemented with the Wiley (now CPAexcel) test bank. Eventually I passed FAR and REG but I missed both the first time with a 74. Of course I just got another 74 on BEC. I’ve already moved on and am studying AUD, I’ll have to go back to BEC. I’m looking at supplemental study options outside of Wiley as I am running put of time. Has anyone purchased the Becker MCQs? How do they compare to the Wiley test bank? Any and all options are appreciated. I really need to pass AUD in July!

REG (72), 77 July '14
FAR (74), 79 Jan '15
BEC (74), 85 August '15
AUD 80 July '15

Material: Roger full review, Wiley test bank all four topics
Ninja MCQ: AUD and BEC retake

Aren't they all the same? They're all AICPA questions. (Might be wrong)

I used Wiley test bank and CPAExcel for my first two exams.

I'm about to take auditing, but I got NINJA MCQ for AUD. The adaptive learning has help me get through the material a lot more efficiently. I would suggest that route over the Wiley test Bank, because yes…they are all pretty much the same questions. Oh yeah, it's only $47, and lots pretty cool in my opinion.

FAR - 91
REG - 88
AUD - 98
BEC - 88

@ tamlange

I'm considering getting Roger's full course. Only thing is I heard he creates his own questions unlike the other reviews who simply use past AICPA provided questions.

What did you think about Roger's MCQ and Sims compared to the actual exam questions, specifically for FAR?

Were they more difficult or easier?

thanks

The questions are all AICPA licensed, therefore they are the same, I will say that NINJAMCQ has the best explanations of all of them

@ Rb899: I put a lot of time and thought into getting a course for both the cost and also the effectiveness. Everyone I have heard from that took Becker passed. Since my employer wasn't paying for it $3500-$5000 was too much. I ended up paying $1600 for the full four courses of Roger with access to the site for 18 months. His lectures are great and keep you interested. The downside is that the site doesn't offer practice tests similar to the real thing. I supplemented both FAR and REG with the Wiley test bank. Since I have been testing, Wiley and CPAexcel have become one. I don't even know what test I truly have- I bought the Wiley test bank for REG and the CPAexcel for FAR. Both are through Efficient Learning website so seem to be the same thing. Roger doesn't ask nearly enough MCQs, but I also wasn't happy with CPAexcel. The questions in the MCQ studying are good, but most aren't asked in the actual practice exam. I have now also used Wiley for BEC and failed with a 74. Note: I use Wiley and CPAexcel interchangeably since I don't know which name to use or what them call them self anymore since they merged.I am taking okcpa2015's advice and going to get Ninja for AUD. I read through posts quite a bit and it seems that almost everyone has purchased some sort of supplemental material to get more practice MCQs.

REG (72), 77 July '14
FAR (74), 79 Jan '15
BEC (74), 85 August '15

@ tamlange

Thank you for your response, and sorry for my late reply.

” Roger doesn't ask nearly enough MCQs, but I also wasn't happy with CPAexcel. The questions in the MCQ studying are good, but most aren't asked in the actual practice exam.”

So if you had to rebuy and retest, which review would you consider?

Thanks

tamlange, do you feel that Roger was not enough to prepare you for BEC? Did he skip a lot of information necessary to pass BEC?
