re: Becker CPA Course Live Format

Yes, from what I understand, it hasn't changed. We have two younger staff who are currently studying for the exam. I tried to talk them out of Becker. But the firm lends them the money for it (basically the firm pays for it and then they pay it back via payroll deductions). They both did FAR first, one passed, one failed. Both of them now have switched to just doing it all online. Same exact stuff... but now they can do a few hours each night instead of spending all day in a classroom looking at a video screen.

FWIW, and I took the exam about 8 years ago, I did Gleim. Excellent cost. Got the book and the test bank and the practice sims. At the time, they did not have any videos that I knew of. Not sure now.

You just gotta put the hours in. Hopefully now you are more mature and hopefully can get in a couple of hours of study at night after the kiddos go to bed. If you are at all a decent test taker, 80-100 hours of studying per section and you should be fine.

Good luck!!
