I've always heard that Becker is a little more difficult than the actual exam.  Can any of you guys vouch for this?  What scores were you getting on your Becker HW/Quizzes/Final Exams compared to what your CPA Exam scores were?  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

(I know that the Becker HW/Quizzes/Final Exams are scored based on the percentage you get correct not a curved score like the CPA exams supposadly are but I'd still like the information.)

I tended to score about 10 points higher on the actual exams than I did on the Becker exams.

BEC

Becker = 70 and 65   Actual = 81

REG

Becker = both were in 50s  Actual = 80

AUD

(1st attempt) Becker = didn't take first time which was dumb  Actual = 74

(2nd attempt) Becker = high 60s low 70s (can't remember exactly)  Actual = 83

Haven't done FAR yet.

So, I would say around 10-15 higher on actual exam.  I think I got lucky with REG, by the way.  I thought for sure I had failed that section....I guess a lot of people must of done horrible that window.

FAR:

Becker Final Exams - 74 and 64   Actual Exam: 97 (still don't know how I pulled that one off)

Becker PM Questions - I was all over the board - anywhere from 90% in one section to 50% in the next section.  I hated FAR with a passion!!

AUD:

Becker Final Exams - 88 and 90   Actual Exam: 96

Becker PM Questions - I was usually about 85%-95%

REG:

Becker Final Exams 68 - have not taken Actual Exam yet

Becker PM Questions - Usually around 80%-90% but a couple sections are lower.

Hope that information helps!
