    For those very lucky who got to taste and test first the new software changes this week, how was it?

    I’m so excited with my new 24-inch computer monitor that fits Becker CPA Review Software!

    @emerged Was the calculator very big? It was big when I did the AICPA practice. I couldn't see my question at the same time and that sucked.

    I really like the new changes, but not the score delays. The software was just like Wiley’s except it worked well. Wiley doesn’t allow searching in the authoritative literature, but the actual exam did. Make sure to use the AL when you get stuck on a problem that doesn’t require it.😉😬

    I didn’t use Excel or the calculator (I was given one to use) so I can’t comment on them. The new software also allows having the problem and document side by side, which I found helpful to compare.

    AUD - 81
    BEC - 77
    FAR - 76
    REG - 80
    AUD - 81
    BEC - 70, 77
    FAR - 70, 70, 76
    REG - 70, 80
    (I used WileyCPA and Ninja-FAR only)

    It took almost two years, but I am now finished with my CPA exams.

    If you have Becker, you shouldn't be surprised with the new user interface on the actual exam..exactly identical.

    Is there a way to control the text box on the left where you enter the questions? On Becker, the box is tiny. You can only see one line at a time.

    The AICPA sample test software is exactly the same as the actual exam so you can try looking at that.

    AUD - 96
    BEC - 93
    FAR - 98
    REG - 89

    @lurker: What a score in FAR! What's your strategy?

    I didn't mean to hijack the post. Just could not help asking after seeing lurker's score.

    Winners don't quit. Quitters don't win.

    FAR - < than 75, 10/2013, 2/2015
    BEC - < than 75, 10/2013
    AUD - < than 75, 8/2015, 1/2016
