Yea, I think becker has done a really good job so far... with the exception of the BEC section tho. That section kinda frustrating for me.
Honestly, I can't really tell you if the sims are harder on FAR because I didn't do much of em. I did chapters 1 & 2 and said screw it, I rather spend this time redoing the questions. Luckily on the actual exam, my sims were on Cash Flows (indirect method), bank recons, and asset depletion stuff. But just keep on keeping on man.
Btw - don't sleep on the last two chapters!! I've yet to hear from anyone that Governmental and Non-for-profits weren't on there. So make sure you get that stuff.
REG - 81; BEC - 77;
FAR - 80; AUD - ??? (4/9/2010)
