Any supplement that might help for BEC retake - especially cost accounting / finance / IT topics ? How’s Ninja for BEC ? I feel like Becker is not preparing me well, I get confused with 40 questions on how to calculate the same formulas in different ways and doing algebra equations… also there’s not a lot of SIMs to be prepared

I had to retake BEC a few times and completely agree. Becker did not prepare me at all! Especially for the SIMS and IT. I used ninja for IT which helped a lot and got Farhart lectures for a month.

Check out i75 or Universal CPA! Also, there’s a Facebook group called “CPA Exam Support and Tutoring Group (Run by Darius Clark/Andrew L Katz). Andrew provides tutoring services and has awesome reviews! I plan on utilizing his services for FAR.

Ninja is really good if you had to pick between ninja or Farhat I would say go with ninja. I’ve used both and I found that ninjas platform is more organized and concise. The study resources are helpful and it has a vast amount of MCQs and sims.

What was your study method for Ninja ? Did you just practice MCQs and sims for a couple of weeks ? If Ninja is more organized and concise that will definitely help. If feel like Becker material is all over the place and too detailed. I’ve made summary sheets which helps but still don’t feel well prepared

Only For MacBook Users -

Are there any workaround for this? Like I can use external keyboard or maybe negotiate, anything else?

New York folks:
