Becker is good material. It is detailed and explains in easy-to-understand terms. It also has lots of IFRS, which is the focus of the new exam. I don't use Becker, but I got to take a look since my officemate showed me her material.

Gleim is good as well. I like their Test Prep Software. Has tons of questions and detailed explanations. The cons is that the Gleim textbook assumes you know everything and sometimes explains in general terms. With Gleim, I often have to go online to research to better understand the concepts.

Wiley is good after Gleim. What I don't like about it is the presence of quite a few mistakes that are not discovered in their updates.

Becker by itself should be enough. However, if you have used Becker and failed, then consider changing material. Do and repeat multiple choice questions, and make sure you understand both correct and incorrect choices.

Candidates fail Audit for a variety of reasons. Poor test taking skills, lack of understanding of major topics and choosing an answer to a multiple choice question that looks good, but its right for a different question, NOT the question being asked. This happens all the time in Audit. Do you follow?
