I havent seen many people talk about using Gleim study materials. Are Becker and Yaeger that much better? This is my first post, I have been reading for about a week now. Thanks to everyone for thier posts.

I do not learn from books.  I learn from a teacher and I use books as a reference, not as a substitute for a teacher.  I learned that lesson the hard way when I failed FAR on my first attrempt just using Gleim and an out-of-date Becker book.  I passed FAR last month using Yaeger.

Gleim is a powerful tool, especially their Test Prep.  Gleim is better than just Wiley for organizing multiple choice questions.  I just made a test of 317 multiple choice question on IT for the BEC exam.

I like Yaeger and Bob Monette (Bisk Hot Spots) because when they come to a multiple choice question, I stop the DVD and answer the question.  I then listen to the explanation of the answer.  Yaeger even goes to the blackboard to show you the solution.  I take notes if I missed the question.  I find this approach more efficient and effective than the Gleim non-teaching approach.

Gleim is adequate for BEC.  However, I do not think that Gleim is adequate for FAR.  You have to understand the concepts in FAR.  There is very little memorization in FAR.
