After taking BEC for 4 times, I think I need to reconsider in using another review course to study BEC.
I had used and passed REG, AUD and FAR (on first attempt).
But I keep on having to repeat BEC over and over again (58,70,73,72) and now I had lost my REG credit because I didn’t pass BEC in time.
Can those of you that had passed BEC…what review course did you guys use?

I used Roger CPA. I didn't read the book but just took notes whilst listening to the lectures. Practiced all the MCQs/SIMS they had to offer and redid the ones that I got wrong the first time. One tip I think really helped when doing MCQs is to not only know why an answer is right, but why the other answers are wrong.

Good luck!

AUD - 81
BEC - 84
FAR - 78
REG - 86

Also used Roger. And hammered MCQs.
I tried to do every single MCQ at least once. If I exhausted them all I switched to the GLEIM TB, but I think I only used Gleim TB for FAR.
Can't remember how many MCQs Roger has.

My Roger expired so I can't check it out, but I think Roger had about 800, and I just logged into Gleim and see I did 440 MCQs in Gleim with a 78.41% correct cumulative.

Memento Mori - Kingston NY CPA & EA (SUNY Albany 2002)

FAR-93 11/9/17 (10wks, 250 hrs, Roger 1800+ MCQs, Gleim TB 600+MCQs, SIMs)
AUD-88 12/7/17 (3 wks, 85 hrs, Roger 1000 MCQs no SIMs hail mary)
REG-96 1/18/18 (6 wks, 110 hrs, 1400 MCQs, no SIMs)
BEC-91 2/16/18 (4wks, 90 hrs, 1240 MCQs)

I used Roger, watched about 80% of the videos (roughly 15-20 hours or so of video), read 90% of the book and then reread that 90% of the book again, did about 200 MCQs, didn't do any SIMs and I passed. There were a few technical Information Tech/computer questions I encountered on the exam that were not covered in the Roger book, but I felt prepared for everything else.

BEC- passed 16 months ago

AUD- passed 12 months ago

FAR- passed 3 months ago

REG- 69 , 63, 81

Roger was my main reviewer. I watched his lectures several times, hammered the MCQs and SIMS but didn't really practice the WCs. I also had Wiley already so I used it as a supplemental MCQ and SIM. Watched some of the IT lectures as it had more material than Roger. Just passed BEC this last score release so I guess it worked.

AUD - 76
BEC - 83
FAR - 79
REG - 76

Dust yourself off and keep moving.

Thank you all for your responses!

I also used Roger. Didn’t do many sims (less than 10) only did around half the MCQ. Mostly just watched all the videos once or twice and read the book once. IT isn’t covered the best (but I’ve heard it’s fairly poorly covered in every program) but otherwise I felt super well prepared for everything else. The NINJA notes and book were also good for BEC and the IT section had some stuff that wasn’t covered in Roger.

FAR - 11/05/18 - 92

BEC - 12/04/18 - 95

AUD - 2/27/19 - 96

REG - 4/17/19 - 93

I’m done!!
