Hello violeta, All the best for your exams. I do plan to take audit & regulation during Jan & feb 2010. I passed in Business & FARE

I use Kaplan. They are about $1k and I passed AUD(89) and FAR(80) on the first try.

becker is good but wiley is the shit. i used both... but really, if you're focused, wiley is the best review book. the most important thing to do is questions. wiley's ~$50 per section at borders. probably cheaper at amazon.

It all depends on hw motivated you are. I tried studying with Wiley and Gleim for a year and could not be motivated to do it. IN the end work paid for Becker and the structure it has is perfect for me and it keeps me on track. I must say now i know what Becker entails i should have done it a long time ago. Now I have gone back and i see the same questions in Becker, wiley and gleim so as far as the test bank goes i haven't seen much of a difference in the information

I am struggling with BEC too and I have three weeks to go. Each time I think of plopping myself on the couch wth remote in hand instead of studying. I remind myself how I dont want to have to restudy for this sectin again. I would rather not fail because I was being myself (a slacker, and procrastinator). Not to mention the $110 pair of shoes I want but cant buy if I had to repay for another NTS.

This is a great question...so great I set up a new sticky topic at the Forum: Motivation, Goals & Rewards...

Good luck with your studies and I hope you get a few more answers before test day! Keep it up!!!

Just do self-study and mail the application ASAP.

I agree with Scott. Do you have a reason for not doing it ASAP? I think if I had any worries would be that towards the end of the year, you may buy this year's review courses when in fact you will be taking the exam next year. However, most of the vendors will provide updates on the changes. Good luck!

Hurray for Becker!!! I passed Auditing on my first try!!!

Congrats Maria! I'm researching Beckers' now, so the money is definitely worth it? Can you inform me of how the process works? You enrolled in the course then received your NTS, then how long did you get to study before having to sit for the exam? *Thumbs up*

Which textbook are u using? Becker?
