BeckerReviews of becker.com

I studied everything, read everything and then I cannot pass from the first time. Now I’m trying cannot review the third time in a raw the same questions and material. What I’m going is do both from Becker and try another source at the same time.

It’s frustrating waiting for course material to ship and finally arrive. I expected that shipping would be expedited, but it has taken up to ten (or more) days time to receive books after requesting them. I am on my second section now.

I am only putting three stars to draw attention to the most recent update they have made. Simply put, the previous video format that went through the textbook was incredibly helpful. The new videos have a nice presentation and Michelle (studying AUD now) is very knowledgeable, but the format feels like I am sitting back in a lecture class, and is much harder to track all of the content for note-taking purposes. I know everyone's learning style is unique, but I wish there were an option to revert to previous videos. I know some of the content is outdated, but not all of it is. Becker BEC was five stars, but this format is closer to two to three stars. Happy to adjust the rating once older versions become available once again.

The product overall is good if you have the time to study, but I do have to point out if you order the $200 Flashcards that they are literally paper. They are not laminated, or on card stock paper. Some of the worst quality I have ever seen especially when spending 200 dollars. If they hit even a drop of water on them they are ruined, so beware buying the flashcards.

Gearty is not a great lecturer in FAR. On several occasions I have reached out about a question to the support staff, and they indicate that the question is WRONG. Don't think anything is worth $5k with WRONG questions. There are also a lot of duplicated MCQ questions in audit...

Good textbook. Large question library to practice. Tutor and academic support not great - oftentimes don’t have the required academic depth to answer and try to dodge using “this is a real cpa exam question so it is what it is” type of argument.

I feel lectures are useless and time wasting

The video lectures most of the time were just skimming off the pages, without explaining the whys and hows.
