Hi I am retaking FAR sometime in Feb ’14 and since my Becker material has expired I decided to save a boat load of money and purchase wiley test bank. Does anyone else find the wiley test bank questions to be easier than becker questions especially the sims? Its making me nervous that I am getting the majority of the wiley test bank questions correct on the first go around. What are your thoughts/comments?

I wouldn't necessarily say they are easier. Typically, if you use Becker as your only studying mechanism, when you switch to Wiley, the different perspective may seem easier.

I used Becker for my first run with FAR and failed with a 70. It expired on me and I purchased WTB along with NINJA audio and notes for my retake a month later and passed with an 82. I also used WTB and NINJA Audio and Notes for my REG and read through Becker text book over 5 week period for my REG exam in December (I hadn't taken the REG exam in over a year) and passed with an 81.

I did feel working in WTB seemed slightly easier than becker, but it did the trick for me when I added it and NINJA supplements to my Becker text books and notes.

I did not use Becker (CPAExcel) but did use the Wiley test bank site and the Wiley review books. Both Wileys I liked immensely. I felt like they prepared me pretty well, and mirrored the types of questions that would be asked on the exams. I especially liked just the sheer number of problems offered. The exam books also have notes at the beginning of each sections, so it was easy to review the material before quizzing myself.

There is a huge difference between Becker and Wiley mcq's. Becker has a good amount of multi-part questions (Calculate this, to get this, to get the answer). I made the switch from Becker after multiple failures, and my timeline ran out with them. Wiley's questions are more like the exam IMO.

Hey guys thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it. Sorry that I'm just replying back I've been studying like crazy and juggling a full time job. So anyway, my FAR retake is a week away. Would you mind sharing what you did a week before your exam as far studying goes. Thanks in advance.

P.S.

Study sources are Becker book (passmaster expired), Wiley test and my own notes.
