I’m using just Ninja. Taking the exam on the 15th 🥲

I like Becker. For really focusing on details of any topic I’d recommend Farhat’s lectures as a supplement. He offers paid content but his YouTube channel has almost all of the important lectures for free.

If you work for kpmg... Becker... because it is free

Becker

Becker and only do MCQs. I found everything else unnecessary and was able to pass only with MCQs.

I used Wiley and liked it, but honestly I think it depends on how you like to study. Do you need to watch the lectures? Or just read the book?
For my first exam, I was nervous so I did absolutely everything. In later tests, I found just using the book and MCQs were sufficient.
