CPA Study Program

not sure which is better,however, my roomate is studying from Wiley. Good luck

See this is what i have been running into..some people say wiley breaks it down more than Becker...but then I get a lot people who say Becker..2 people at work are using Wiley so I don't know..

I'm thinking about doing a combination of the two if thats even possible since the wiley books are not that expensive

I think im leaning toward Becker..two coworkers just took it with Wiley and both had to retest...I wanna knock it out on the first try.

My advice is practice, practice, practice. I probably did 2,000 practice questions for each exam. Good luck.

THIS. While I did take Becker, the thing that really helped me pass was doing thousands of questions. Now I don't know if these other companies have software with questions & simulations on them, but I'd go with one that did. Working questions out of the back of a book would be too much hassle IMO.

At the end of the day, whether you use Becker or Wiley or whatever, they're meant to be what they purport to be, reviews. Assuming you went to a half-decent college, there should be close to nothing in their books that you haven't already covered and already covered probably in heavy detail. They're basically just big reference books for the practice question data bank.

It seems like Becker is pimped out more/marketed more than Wiley. Fwiw most people I've known who have used Becker passed each part on the first try.

I think that is partially because its been around for forever. I think the Wiley's and Roger CPA's of the world are relatively new to the field.

That's an understatement! But you'll feel a great sense of accomplishment when you see those scores are above 75!

Good luck.
