I have been using CPAexcel (just text and sample questions and simulations with no videos) and I passed FAR and AUD on the first try with back to back 80s. I figured that what I was doing was working so I went on to REG and got a 65 (I knew I wasn't prepared for this one). After REG, I took BEC since I was studying that while waiting for my REG results. Just got my results back and got a 74. It's too late on this go around for me to do a cram (Yaeger) for REG (test is on Sunday), although I will do it if I don't pass again. My question is whether I should buy the cram for BEC and take it in April, or if I should try again one more time without the cram? I have until mid January 2011 until my FAR expires so I have a few times I can retake BEC, but I'm kind of getting burned out and just want to be done. Thanks in advance for any advice. BTW, in case any are wondering the 65 on REG was much easier to swallow than the 74 on BEC.
Forgot to add that all my results were pretty close to those who passed except for economics of all things.

If you were that close, I'd say that is a personal judgement call. For me, I'll be going with the Cram (for AUD). If you were only weak in Econ, I'd say you are probably close enough to pull it off without the Cram, but it is a judgement call.
I'd rather spend the extra money for the Cram and land a low-mid 80 than not spend the money and land another low 70. Good luck.
