Hi everyone, I am using Becker course, Fo FAR Exam is it possible to pass by focusing on Becker Final review only; wich including MCQs and SIMS.

AUD - NINJA in Training
BEC - NINJA in Training
FAR - NINJA in Training
REG - NINJA in Training

Have you completed the Becker full course, or are you studying solely from the Final Review? I used Becker Final Review as a way to organize my final review for FAR. However, I used Wiley CPAexcel for my main review and study materials – if that makes sense. I preferred Wiley because they have bite-size lessons that are easy to digest and come back to. I can assure you that while Becker Final Review is pretty comprehensive it assumes a lot of knowledge and does not go into detail. Personally, there's no way I could have tackled the exam with the Final Review alone (I didn't go to school for accounting). However, I used the Becker Final Review to guide my final review, going back over the materials with Wiley lectures and MCQs. If you are a star and know this material, you could probably pull it off. The one thing I would encourage you to do is make sure you understand every question and answer, and if you don't, go online, find some resources and sit with pen and paper until you get it. Note also that, at least in my Final Review, there were no questions given for F2, which includes accrual accounting and financial statement reporting. You will have a false sense of preparedness if you read this chapter without having done any questions or SIMS on these critical topics.

AUD - 81
BEC - 76
FAR - 75

Focus on the MCQs and SIMS. And when you've done all of the questions, do them again. And when you have nothing left to do, do more MCQs, but faster. I did more than 2,000 questions. I hope it was enough. I wanted to get through Wileys 2500 MCQ test bank.

@lilac That what I am doing now, I wasted a lot of time before I kept see the lectures and do the MCQs it takes me from February to August and am still in the F4, then I figured out I was wasting my time, now I am focusing on Final reviews and if I didn't understand something I go back to the materials. thank you again @lilac for your advice wish to the success.

Yes, smart of you to change course if it's not working. There's so much material, that by the time you're starting F5, you may have forgotten what you learned earlier! But trust the process. You will get faster as you master the material. You'll be able to cycle through ALL OF IT much faster. You'll see. Stick with it. Your perseverance will be rewarded.

@lilac you are right, God bless, what courses do you used to pass the three sections?

AUD - NINJA in Training
BEC - NINJA in Training
FAR - NINJA in Training
REG - NINJA in Training

God bless you! I started out with Becker for each (my employer had a corporate discount) and then I moved on. I also supplemented with accountingcoach.com and brainscape flaschards. There are some excellent CPA review decks on brainscape. In general:

AUD = Becker MCQs and Wiley CPAexcel
BEC = Becker MCQs only (no lectures)
FAR = Becker Final Review and Wiley CPAexcel
REG = Becker MCQs only (no lectures)

You'll find that many test takers, through trial and error, find a program of study that works just right for them. It really isn't one size fits all, and it's not unusual to use multiple resources.
