ParticipantHi, I am new to the forums. Here is my situation. I work full time, and travel to clients. I can listen to anything at my desk with 1 ear bud, sometimes 2. I currently have All the becker materials (lectures, final review, flash cards), and when I try to listen to the lecture (4 hours worth) while working not much seems to stick. Even though I viewed the lecture already, and went to the class.
I listened to the demo of the exams for the ones that will be coming up, but want to hear more opinions as I paying a lot for becker already.
BEC:75 (expired 1/31/17)
FAR: 59, 64, 61, 72
Reg: 71, 75 (Expired 3/31/2017)
AUD: 74, 75 (expires 1/31/2018)May 29, 2014 at 4:20 am #558768Jeff Elliott, CPA
KeymasterThe demo should give you a good idea if you can stand my Kansas twang 🙂

Participanti got ninja audio for AUD and BEC. imo it is absolutely necessary for audit!!! it is fantastic!! BEC is a little harder because of the formulas that are harder to follow without seeing them but would still definitely recommend it!
AUD - 75
BEC - 77
FAR - 78
REG - 82May 29, 2014 at 11:57 am #558770RandomAlt
MemberI recommend the audio also. I can't comment on the Becker audio lecturte because I do not have it, but I think ANY audio lecture is hard to absorb when you are at your desk working.
I tried to use the NINJA audio at my desk, but I found I just couldn't follow because I had to concentrate at work…and accounting principals are not something you can just put on in the background and absorb.
I do find the lectures perfect for when I'm driving in the car.

MemberI love the NINJA Audio. I have REG playing on a loop constantly while I'm at work. I can't listen to it with laser focus all the time, but every once in a while I'll get something and it'll stick. The simple trust being a simple child who can only say “no” is the best one so far that's popped in to my head and helped me answer questions.
My 4 year old has a different opinion of the audio (“MOM. Not AGAIN!”) but heck with him. 😉

MemberYes! I've bought it for all my exams so far. I think they were integral for AUD and REG. it really does help you better understand your review material.

MemberI passed only BEC so far. Ninja audio definitely contributed to my pass. I listened so many times I could recite it almost word for word.

MemberI would recommend the Ninja Audio. I'm taking FAR today and in the midst of studying, I ran across several questions where I said, “Hey, I remember Jeff mentioning that in the audio notes!”

ParticipantThe audio is especially worth it if you drive a lot. I have all he materials but because I commute every day, I haven't removed the NINJA audio disc from my CD player in over a year. Every single time I'm in the car, whether a quick hop to Starbucks or a commute to work… just play it until you get sick of it and can finish Jeff's sentences. Don't stop once u understand everything, and don't shut it off if you aren't focused, just keep playing it ad nauseum.
If you have an outline of a topic seared into your mind, you can focus on the minutia without losing an understanding of the overall structure.
A lot of people work full time, but you have to set time aside each evening. I come home at 7PM and study eight to eleven or midnight. I'm fat, and my pants don't fit as well as they used to. When I fly on business, I take an early flight and spend all of Sunday studying. In the car, your best bet is Ninja audio.

MemberI love Ninja Audio. I believe it has helped a lot. I am taking my exam tomorrow and I working through the ninja blitz because it is basically the audio but you can see the slides while he is going through it. I think all of his products help. I haven't tried the Ninja MCQ. Hope this helps.

ParticipantZieba you post cracked me up!
I love the audio! I highly recommend all of Jeff's products. I think of it like it can't make you worse off. Plus his material is reasonably priced so if you can swing it, I say try it out.
