I got the exact same case as you, passed all three with Becker and now doing REG for second time, I am using Becker and have also purchased Wiley test bank. Its a lot more material to study but there are many qns in Wiley which are not in Becker, but this gives a better understanding of some topics. Also it has 37 simulations, which is good. Wiley is a good recommendation, I dont know about Gliem, havent used it. Good luck studying !!

meacpa_2011, Did you use wiley software or book? Is the sim on software same as it on book? Will you use 2011 book to take 2012 REG exam?

I think Becker covers almost the topic but not deeply. Some topics of corperation tested a lot on exam but just half page on becker which is not enough. I decide to take gleim mcq as well and considering buying wiley software also?

Kanba,

I got Wiley test bank 2011 software. Did not buy book, because I was already using Becker text and did not want to study from two sources as they might be confusing. So just got the software. I purchased in oct 2011, so 2011 was latest available. They did not have 2012 edition. I am taking updates to REG from the Becker knowledge base website. There are lot of updates. You could get it at www.beckerkb.custhelp.com

You are right on the coverage of Becker. After doing Wiley qns, one cannot say that the topic was not covered in Becker. It is mentioned, but only when u work the qn, do u realise the depth of the information stated. Also it helps to read the expln for why a particular option choice is incorrect.

What are u using, becker and gliem? I do not know abt gliem, is it worth to buy ?

I am afraid there are some number changes for 2012, such as phase out number, some maximum limitation number, etc.. but not sure about it.

I just bought gleim today, book and software for 2012 edition. I heard gleim since one of my friend's professor ask that, so I think maybe that's great. But ther's no sim from gleim. I will use becker and gleim software, also with sim on wiley's textbook. Hope that's work.
