I used Becker for AUD, BEC, and REG, and Yaeger for FAR. The hardest exam for me was FAR and I was failing using Becker. I decided to invest a couple hundreds of dollars in Yaeger for FAR and it was worth it. It might take a while, but if you are determined, then you will reach your goals. Best of luck to everyone currently taking this exam.

This is definitely worth celebrating because when you first wrote your comments in this thread, i agreed with everything you felt and said...because I too am sitting in the very same boat. I will pass though. Pls. change what changes you did to become a CPA.

I believe the key is patience and confidence. Give yourself 2-3 months to study for each part. When studying, be patient with yourself and be confident in knowing that you WILL understand the material eventually and pass the test. When reviewing, there may be certain areas where you feel that you’re just not going to get it either because it’s too much information and/or it’s too complex. Relax, you will get it. You may not get it today or tomorrow, but you WILL eventually get it. Always believe that. In fact, the human brain works that way. It’s all about practicing and studying. There isn’t anybody out there that isn’t capable of passing these exams. It’s all about how determined you are and how much you’re willing to keep on fighting until you make it.
