When I bought the program they offered physical flash cards which I really loved and the course book I received had an index. I could also download lectures so if I was out of a service area I could still access them. Those benefits went away in 2024 which was really disappointing. That aside, I was able to pass all 4 sections on my first attempt. I am grateful to be done and I appreciate all the mcqs, books, and lectures that helped me pass. Thank you!

Great study materials. I like how the platform is evolving each year and becoming more efficient.

I liked the fact that I can ask questions with a click w/o having to type the reference. This makes it very easy to ask questions and thus you keep asking around the clock and getting responses right away!! :-) it is a real time learning tailored to your specific issues! . In particular Josh is realistic with his answers and listens my questions better. I liked the skill builder videos. I love the slide presentations from Peter O. And Mike brown. They made it fun to watch and the way they explain, literally sticks in your memory! I understand the skill builder explanation videos the most when Mike potenza or Mike brown or Michelle M presents. Even tough it is difficult, it is amazing to listen them explains how it actually straight forward is…All the tips and additional comments are extremely relevant and makes difference vs reading from the book. When I complete all required items for the “exam day ready status” I feel prepared and confident that I covered all I can to be able to sit in the exam successfully. Negative:I could not fFigure out how to utilize the schedule. May be it is me. For me it is waste of time to utilize that portion of the toolbecause I do tons of memorizing time or reading where tool is not picking up or not tracking my outside studies. So it is not realistic picture where it says I studied this much and this money hours and this much left and so on… Areas of improvement: I wish there is a chance to compare your prior versions of your test results and rankings and scores before you reset the tool and after (this is for those who is taking the same CPA session multiple times not being successful at first attempt) I manually took screenshots and did offline manual comparison only to find that in my second time, I did exactly the same mistakes!! (Most of time) where my scores on the second one got worse were particular areas of concern that I wish the Becker tool helped me to this comparative view automated. Those I did better in the next time were moments of happiness :-)

Some of Becker's instructors are top notch. Mike Potenza and Mike Brown are the stars of Becker! They take the time to explain everything and their explanations are easy to understand. REG is a fantastic review of the information, and the lead instructor is the amazing Mike Potenza! AUD was terrible. I had to purchase a supplement to get through this program. Becker needs to make some changes to that section. The material is confusing, and the instructor does not help clear up the confusion. I gave a four star review because I was pleased with 3 of the 4 sections.

Great videos and MCQs. Felt unprepared for simulations that showed up on the exams, but it was enough to pass the first three.

Great Multiple Choice questions and simulations. I liked how the look of Becker matched the actual exams.

The videos coupled with the text are great as is the ability to continue to work new questions and reinforce areas that required additional focus. Pete’s videos are definitely the most engaging, and he seems to have captured the ability to address the uncertainty that candidates have as they prepare for the exams. The flash cards need some material improvement however. They are too basic or don’t really hit the required points of memorization.

The material itself was sufficient for me to pass.
