Hello!

I’m getting ready to start studying for the CPA exam. Wondering if anyone can give me insight on the difference between the Becker packages. My job is willing to pay a portion, which makes the lesser option look more appealing. However, does anyone know of the study material is dramatically different?

I'm currently studying for the first part, but I went with the pro package because at the time it was the same price as the premium but just included more. Main difference I've noticed with the pro over premium is that it comes with tons of flashcards which can be helpful. I'm not sure if this is still the case but I believe the base package expires after 18 months or 2 years so I avoided that one as the others are lifetime access.

I recommend whichever one has final review and lifetime access.
