As you know Becker has two CPA products: Exam Review and Final Review.
These products have very similar structure, but the main difference is that Final Review is a summary of the Exam Review.

The structure of the Exam Review is:
1) there is a software, which is called Exam Review Course Disk and you need this software installed in order to run all four Exam Review DVDs (see below).

2) there are 4 DVDs - one for each section of the CPA exam and each DVD contains:
- multimedia lectures
- PassMaster questions and answers
- simulations
- practice exams
- eBook with highlights and notes from Becker
- Textbook in PDF format with no highlights and notes
To run these DVDs you would need at least one installation of the software (see 1)

Final Review is organized in the same way, but it is way cheaper, because it is a summary and it is missing the practice exams. Just for comparison here are the number of MCQ (PassMaster Questions and answers) covered under Exam Review and Final Review:

Section    Exam Review    Final Review
AUD         &nb sp;     1,225         & nbsp;  166
BEC         &nb sp;     1,187         & nbsp;  180
FAR         &nb sp;     1,724         & nbsp;  203
REG         &nb sp;     1,501         & nbsp;  224
Total         & nbsp;    5,637    &n bsp;       773

Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but is there anything that you
miss out on choosing the live classes or the online classes that you only get
if you select the self-study option? I understand that the books and most
materials come the same for all 3 options, but is there something like that
expires while using the online courses or something like that or perhaps the
self-study has items available permanently since it's on your own schedule?

And regarding fastpass, does anyone know or have experience with it? Are
people able to pass the exam with doing only that or does it require at least
some prep beforehand/during (which would be expected I would
imagine)...thanks
