Becker CPA Exam Material available:

BEC - 2010 - course cd/lecture disks/book

REG / AUD / FAR - 2011 - course cd/lecture disks/books

I would like to sell REG/AUD/FAR all together since there is just one 2011 course CD and BEC has the one 2010 course CD. Here are my prices: REG/AUD/FAR (2011) for $800, and BEC (2010) for $200. Email me at abcpaexam@gmail.com if you are interested.

I just got back from the test. The first 2 testlets were managable but the 3rd one was so hard! I marked half of my 3rd testlet, I was either not sure or just don't know how to do them. Overall, I don't think I pass it, I might have to retake it. Writings were ok, not too bad. You really can't prepare for writing because they are so random. I think one of my question is a FAR question.

I just came from BEC exam, and I don't think I will pass. I took this exam at the end of last year and I failed by one point. I found the exam this time harder than last time.

There really is no "easiest exam." While the exams are all curved, the grading is adjusted to the perceived difficulty of the exam by the test writers so that the passing rates are all "balanced" and the rating percentages should be about the same in a perfect world.

FAR-While it's the most material and has calcuations, you don't have to have a great percentage correct to pass, or have a high score. Think about this as that class that everybody hated, but the professor curved enough so that you could get a 60, and still have an A. You'd probably do better in this section if you did better in your Intermediate and Advanced classes, or work as a staff accountant or auditor.

AUD-Not as much material on this exam, and no calculations.  Although, this exam gets a lot of people because of the tricky questions, and the dull as paint subject material.  You have to get a pretty high score to pass though, because there isn't as much material, and no calculations. You'll probably do better on this section if you did well in your audit class, work in auditing, or are more linguistically inclined.

REG-A lot of material on this exam, although not as much af FAR.  Additionally, while there are some calculations in the tax part, there is not much otherwise. However, it is aggresively time sensitive.  You don't need to get as high of a % correct to pass this one.  You'll probably do better on this section if you did well in your tax classes or work in tax.

BEC-Often seen as the "junk-box" of the exam. Not as much material as in other sections, but some people seem to have trouble with it because they blow it off, and don't spend as much time studying on it. In the last few years, it has had the lowest passing rate, and that is mainly attributable to the fact that you really have to nail it to pass. When I see somebody with nearly perfect scores on the exams, this is always the one with the lowest score. However, I was an odd case, where this was my highest by far.  This is a section that  you'll do better on if you're more Finance, Economics, or Cost Accounting inclined, like if you work on Wall Street, are a computer programmer or do better in your Finance and Econ classes.

You guys have been a huge help, I am halfway through my BEC studying (Cost Accounting MGMT + Econ done) and am taking it May 31st.  just seeing someone say "it's not what you expect is a huge eye-opener b/c REG FAR and AUD were all, pretty much, exactly what Becker helped me prepare)
