    1. Is CPAExcel enough or do I need to supplement with additional MCQs?

    2. If more MCQs are needed, should I purchase Ninja or use cpareviewforfree?

    3. What does a CPAExcel practice exam score tend to translate to on FAR? For example, for those who have used it, what was your CPAExcel practice score and your actual FAR score?

    FAR - 94
    AUD - 90
    BEC - 86
    REG - 87

    From what I understand the testbank (no matter with which review course) consist of questions released by the AICPA, so they should be pretty similar. Personally, I was only using CPAExcel until I failed REG and FAR twice. I switched to only using NINJA MCQs, audio, and notes. I like the layout of the MCQs much better and how the results are displayed. Not sure how the trending scores relate but I finally passed REG and owe it to NINJA.

    I felt like CPAexcel did a good job preparing me for FAR, although I haven't gotten my score back yet. Also, there is a Ton of MCQ's for FAR in CPAexcel – as long as you go through all of the questions and have a good understanding of the solutions, I really don't think it's necessary to buy a supplement.

    I used CPAExcel only for FAR. Scored a 94 on the practice exam and had an actual score of 91. Hopes that answers your question.

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

    I used CPAExcel on FAR first time around, failed and switched to NINJA MCQ and got an 82. I think this really only worked for me because I had already gone through the “formal” material once, and i just needed to drill concepts more. So that's what I did and it worked for me.
