Did you have becket before?

Call Becker and see if they will grandfather you into the new unlimited plan. That’s what I did.

Invest in yourself try Uworld (Roger) and buy if you like it

I’m looking through a variety of the popular programs but they’re all at least 1500. Looking to see if anyone has any alternatives besides the most well known ones.

I used Surgent, it was like half the price of Becker and I did much better on the exams when I worked with it.

I failed miserable with Becker a lot. I passed two sections and they expired. 2 years later I tried again passed AUD, FAR and BEC on the first tries and REG I had to take a 2nd time. I found surgent worked much better for me.

I bought I75. You can do monthly subscription
So far I like it but I haven't tested yet

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11. Can I submit the reapplication with the CA Board of Accountancy to speed up the retake and NTS process in case I failed? Or do I need to get my exam score first? I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.

New York folks:
