Hey guys I’m having a hard time with the cpa exam. I haven’t passed one part yet. I’m going in circles really. At this point is it worth it to repurchase the Becker materials for $1600?

If anything supplement NINJA CPA review. Better than Wiley and Becker from my experience.

My Becker expired. I failed every exam I took using the Becker course. I purchased Another71.com materials. I’ve passed every exam I’ve taken with it. I purchased the Sniper package which is their middle package. One more to go next month and I’ll finally be done.

Becker is better now than ever. Still boring but material is exactly what’s seen in the exam. I’m in the same boat and repurchased becker

Wiley is pretty good, access doesn’t expire if that helps

I had Becker starting in September of 2015. It expired so I went with Wiley. Biggest regret ever. It’s information overload unless you’re shooting for a 99 on the exam and have the time. I ended up ditching it for Becker again. I really like it. Best of luck!

Same boat OP. My materials expired and I purchased it again. Tried taking it using other materials/just reading Becker’s book and got a 44. Retook it and got a 70 with becker’s updated materials. Retaking in January and hoping it’ll be a 75. Fingers crossed!

Switch to roger. Cheaper and the videos are better

Oh my colleagues at my office do not share even if they have months of access. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Feel like if it’s not working switch to roger, i know they have a discount for people switching from another company.. i go back and forth with Becker and roger , roger explains everything and the videos aren’t as boring as becker ..

@bt1 can you share your access? I'll give you some money? 😝
