As an MSAC student I can tell you my masters is useless for the exam, especially since it’s online lol.
For a reference I’m 2/2 so far. Waiting on REG score. BEC in 2 weeks

I got a macc and my bachelors was more helpful then my masters
I think that all depends on when you take the exam relative to when you’re finishing school and the program you’re in.
At my college I felt like I got a lot of BEC in my MAcc program and didn’t study for it and got a 76 the month after graduating. I credit that to having spent the whole year before that learning all those topics in grad school.
I know some programs actually are integrated with Becker so you learn the exam in your courses, mine wasn’t like that.
I would say if I had taken FAR right out of undergrad I would have breezed through it but I had to study like crazy because I was already 2 years out of undergrad and a year out of grad school.
I second major BEC topics in my MAcc program. I stopped studying BEC at the start of covid and decided to finish my masters instead, almost done now. I feel much more prepared to study/take for BEC now.
As someone with a MS in accounting, I don't think so. Work experience definitely helps but then you're stuck trying to juggle work and studying rather than studying before you begin working.

Not at all
A lot is masters in accounting programs are a joke...essentially a one year test prep program.
