Which section of the CPA exam is easier to take without the Becker course?

I want to sit for one section of the CPA in the summer (it will be my first). I will not have access to the Becker program during the summer. Which section will be easier to pass if I just self-study with a Wiley/Gleim book?

Please advise - thanks!

It's gotta be BEC*.

*When they add sims that may change.

There have been a lot of negative comments on here about becker's BEC course, so I'm not sure about that. Also, just because BEC doesn't have sims doesn't make it easier for everyone. For me, it was one of the harder sections since it covers so many different topics and I'm not as good at cost accounting and capital budgeting.

I think it can be done. However, what you really want to do is practice questions. I have the old Becker texts for BEC and REG that can be converted to PDF. Let me know if you want them. You can supplement with Wiley or Gleim.
