THanks guys. So far, I completed the Becker material, review their glossary , complete the Kaplan MCQ's and now reviewing their flashcard.

Any idea if I can get the WIley IT section for free? I am not sure is this is possible.

Thanks and I think the only thing I can do is be positive.

I don't know if we can get the Wiley IT section for free, but you can get free Wiley software with practice problems at
http://www.wiley.com/college/uopcpa

As you go through the MC questions, you can see excerpts of the book if you hit the button for answer explanations.  This is not the most updated version, though.  I used this while studying for REG, haven't tried the BEC problems yet, but some of the REG information was outdated.  I would recommend this software as a supplement to updated review materials.

All materials, Wiley, Gleim, Becker..etc are not enough. I took the exam four
times and I passed BEC on my fourth try. IT questions are too random and
you need to use your common sense. I've created notes from different
materials in order to score 70% (comparable)

Would you mind sharing your notes? I think I have a decent grip on the IT section but you can never be TOO prepared for it.

Do you guys think that Becker is sufficient for the Financial section? or should I also review Kaplan. (around 250 questions)

Becker has the best professional presentation.  The book is also very well organized.  However, I hate paying top dollar to rent Becker for only one year.  I have spent a small fortune with Becker.

The best bang for the buck is Yaeger.  The major advantage of Yaeger is that they drill down to the multiple choice questions.  Becker does not do that.
