I just took BEC July 1st so I can't officially
substantiate my advice, but here's my two cents. I'm
probably jinxing myself, but I thought BEC was a breeze
for the most part (FAR & REG kicked my butt). Not sure
what your time frame is regarding expiring parts you've
already passed but if you have the luxury, I highly
recommend going through Gleim CMA prep materials (books,
online, and desktop software). It dives into great deal
regarding variable direct & standard costing, WC, DCF,
elasticity, expected value, etc that are tested by BEC.

I'm sure you've gone through all the lectures, questions,
and have a modest understanding of all the concepts. If
you're looking for that extra boost, you won't go wrong
reviewing Gleim's CMA. Downside to Gleim CMA, however,
is the amount of detail provided of which you definitely
won't need to know all for the CPA. It absolutely helps
with understanding certain abstract processes not as well
explained through CPA prep material. Plus you'll get
access to thousands of additional MC questions.

I'm using Becker for my CPA. After using Gleim's CMA, I
really only needed to review parts of B1 (COSO & ERM) and
B4 (IT). I definitely still missed a few other questions,
so fingers remain crossed. Hang in there, you're so
close!

hey helen, i used Roger CPA for AUD cram, he seems to be
fine. As Yurtle mentioned, the CMA materials would help you
in the Cost Accounting part, but usally wiley does a good
job mix and match in the books. Try Roger and if you say u
took Becker before and didnt pass, he gives you a discount.
When I took becker, cost accounting made no sense what so
ever, I hate that subject but He made me understand it and
I got thru it. Good Luck let me know how u did :-)
