I’m planning to start studying for my CPA and I’m struggling to decide which product to buy, Becker or UWorld. Which one do you think it’s better and why? Thank you :)

I think Becker has tons of material. Sometimes, you need additional and that’s where I used I-75 Darius Clark for. I noticed when studying, I would get used to same questions and it would not help. Darius’ info was fantastic and really helped me. When using his reviews, alongside Becker, I was scoring about ten points-15 points higher for each exam. I used him for AUD and BEC. I went 4/4 using this.

Awesome! Thank you!!

Whatever your firm pays for. Both will do the job. If buying yourself, I personally really liked UWorld. Passed all in the first try with a fraction of the recommended study.

I went 4/4 with Becker so did not consider anything else at the time.

That said, keep in mind that with ANY review course, you need to put in the time. Becker is not an "instant pass" button.

I liked Becker personally but never used anything else to compare

Agreed. Becker has a mobile game that made it easier to study and the scheduling was pretty accurate for me

I used Becker and passed my exams first try, so....i'd say Becker.

Becker and supplement with i75 for the tough sections

You can try their trial memberships to see the difference between the two. I like both and they have the same instructor for FAR who is very engaging and explains the topic in a easy manner to understand

Uworld with supplementing ninja MCQs.

I used Becker and supplemented FAR with i75.

I used Gleim. It, along with encouragement from friends and family, and many prayers, helped me pass the Exam on my first attempt. Gleim invites you to take a test before each study unit so it can provide you with the reading that you need, rather than having you read things you already know. It then gives you a test of MCQs and then TBS once it is satisfied with your MCQ knowledge. If it feels you need to read or watch videos, it will encourage you to do so. Finally, when it is satisfied that you know what you need to know for that study unit, it will invite you to move forward to the next study unit. In summary, it tailors the material it provides to you on what you need to know for the Exam.

I used to tutor CPA Exam candidates, and most of my students were using Becker, with some using other course materials.
