Becker is a great CPA (Certified Public Accountant) prep course if you utilize all the materials that they offer (lectures, flashcards, AND final review) in conjunction with one another and stick to a strict study plan. HOWEVER, it gets pricey since the software expires after 12 months, and you technically have to repurchase the software at a "discounted" price should you have to retake it.
Definitely, do no buy all four sections at once if you use Becker...one section at a time, unless of course you intend on getting through all 4 parts in less than a year. I felt satisfied that the Becker material prepared me for the content tested on the exam. There was hardly anything that shocked me when I went to sit for the exam after using Becker to prepare.
Becker is DEFINITELY not enough to pass the REG, especially when dealing with Estates and Trusts. For legal reasons, I can not elaborate, but when an instructor tells you not to worry about estates and Trusts, telling you there will only be a couple multiple choice questions, he can be very wrong. Each simulation is 15% of your total grade, so word to the wise: look out for simulations on Estates!
All of the CPA candidates who took Becker with me have failed. They failed because they used the same study habits that they used in college. They crammed with Becker. That will not work. The CPA exams are not about short-term memory. These professional exams are about long-term memory on more subjects than Becker covers.
Becker prepares you very well as long as your watch all of the lectures, do all of the homework, and cover the simulations. A tip if you use Becker is the multiple choice questions & simulations. Practice them...OVER AND OVER!
