    I am using Becker and will retake REG May 1.
    I’ve been trying embrace the change of their new interface and textbook…but keep observing that I do not like their new text.

    1. Their topics seem to be all over the place.
    2. The numbering sequence within the chapters are annoyingly distracting
    (i’m sure this sounds silly but I just can’t helpful but notice lol)
    3. The new text just seems more of a mouthful compared the previous book.
    4. Certain MCQ Modules, I noticed may ask you questions that do not pertain to the section you are studying. Yeah, you can learn from it…but why do they have to do that?

    Is it just me or do any of you have similar opinions?
    If me, any suggestions to remove myself out of the wack so I can really focus on practicing REG.

    thanks!

    I used the old version for all four sections. I noticed that Becker frequently tests you on topics that have not been covered yet either in the lecture or in the chapter. Also, when you take the self tests they will frequently repeat the exact same question within the self test.

    I noticed in the new Final Exam, they had a MCQ on a topic that was removed form REG testing (regarding holder in due course). I called them out on it and they basically told me it is hard to go through everything and remove everything. I say BS and that they are being cheap for what they charge for the material.

    Don't worry; be happy.

    Becker better get their sh*t right considering I paid $3500+ for their material. Considering the price I paid, I am disappointed at times with their software, books, repeat MCQ's etc. Hopefully they get their act together and do not make up excuses. It's complete crap.

    I agree that at times it seems to be all over the place. I just decided that since I'm with Becker, that I'd put my faith into them. Believe that to some extent that there's a method to the madness.
