What parts (FAR, BEC, AUD, REGS) are Yeager strong and weak in? 

I guess my question is, can you use Yaeger only and pass all 4 parts of the examine, or do you still have to use other programs to help in certain areas?

BEC/FAR – I highly recommend

 

AUD – look elsewhere unless you have auditing experience/or be prepared to HEAVILY rely on the handouts provided. Bulmash is the primary instructor and he fills in holes theory wise that I have personally overlooked.

 

REG – I don’t know. I first started using Roger and didn’t like it. Then I studied on my own using Wiley/Gleim.

Here is my opinion about Yaeger CPA review home study courses:

REG - Excellent.  Highly recommended.

AUD - I very much used to Phil's techniques in REG and it was therefore difficult for me to get used to Gary.  After listening to the lectures, I felt that there was no structure, and I had to listen to his lectures one more time before repeating multiple choice questions over and over again.  Taking notes helped a lot.  Even though AUD is the shortest of the four sections (about 13 hours of instruction time), and supposed to be the easiest one, I had the most difficult time to comprehend the material.

BEC - Cindy does excellent job for all of the sections she is teaching except for information technology.  I had to use Becker's handout for information technology.  Economics and financial management (taught by Michael) were not really well explained, and many topics were simply skipped because Michael was saying that those were not important.  My advice is to complement Yaeger with some other course materials.  This comment is about 2008 course.

FAR - Excellent.  Highly recommended.  Phil and Cindy did really good job.

I completely agree with cpanyc007 on the last three (about to start studying for REG with Yaeger)

AUD - I watched one or two lectures then just ended up reading the book on my own.  If it's in your budget, supplement with Gleim Test Prep. After doing a few hundred Gleim MCQ everything starts to make sense.

FAR - Cindy and Phil were my saviors (highly recommend)

BEC - Agree that Cindy did an excellent job with everyting but IT (I don't know anyone who could make that section interesting anyway) I thought Michael did a better job with his sections in BEC than he did with FAR.

FAR is great

AUD sucks but I still managed to pass with zero auditing experience. 

REG seemed good, still awaiting results.

BEC I start tonight and will report back later.

The bottome line is you can pass with any review programs if you're willing to do the work.  I would recommend getting Yaeger for all four sections since there are great discounts available, you'll just have to suck it up for AUD.
