Great review! It really has prepared me very well for my exams.

The staff was always helpful with answers when I was confused with questions and concepts

Thorough material There is a lot of information to go through, but if you commit yourself to the process and go through each section step by step, learning from your mistakes along the way, then you are well prepared when exam day arrives.

The material for Audit was organised and summarised appropriately. Real World scenarios were provided where applicable.

Becker made passing the CPA exam possible with one app that can be accessed on any of my devices.

Got through the exams

I decided to work on getting my CPA after being graduated for 14 years. I liked Becker's review course because it provided a clearly laid out plan with step by step instruction. I worked the plan exactly as it was laid out, included the supplemental questions and final review. I passed BEC the first time with an 87. The one thing I was concerned about was the amount of IT on the exam that wasn't covered in the course. For example, I had a big simulation that was entirely on a relational database, and focused on primary keys, foreign keys, etc. This was touched on very lightly in the review course, and didn't prepare me at all for this simulation. I mostly guessed on the entire simulation, and I was sure I would fail. But I ended up doing a lot better than I anticipated.

I completed my accounting degree almost 10 years ago and have been practicing as a nurse with no exposure to anything accounting-related since that time. I recently made a career switch and decided to finally sit for the CPA exam. I followed Becker's "Exam Day Ready" guidelines and successfully passed BEC on the first try.
