I created another71 back in and since then, it has become the most-visited CPA Exam […]. You must be logged in to post a comment. But with all the IFRS material also being introduced, that could potentially increase the difficulty level of the exam and thus reduce the impact that the communication section could have.
Conclusively, the other three sections look like they will be getting harder. I will definitely complete this exam before all these maddening changes take place. Thanks for the updates Jeff. If I'm still taking the exam in , I should just quit being an accountant. Thanks for the update Jeff. Its kind of disappointing they didn't lay more out on the table than that since most of that info is available through the cpa exam website and the newsletters that they publish.
In any case, it seems like IFRS is going to become a pain in the you know what for future test takers. I'll be glad when that section is out of the way. I took FAR on July 15th and definitely already had the "task-based" simulations in which nothing was related. Im in the same boat, Taylor. I've yet to have a simulation with a common theme 4 simulations, total. I hope that's not too much information Jeff, I don't think it is but feel free to delete.
Your anwers would be greatly appreciated. So, you won't be addressing a client about an audit issue in theory. I can envision some sort of scenario where they want you to explain to their old school CEO what exactly the company's disaster recovery IT plan entails, or to explain what cost variance means or something like that.
Did you know that some of the questions on the CPA Exam change from time to time? For instance, content changes after new tax laws are enacted, and another time when other accounting standards are updated.
Actually, all online materials are automatically updated. If you are struggling to understand a particular concept, reach out for support. After all, Becker gives you several options for personalized instruction.
First, you can communicate with your success coach. Your coach will help you identify your learning goals and develop a path to reach them. Second, you could post an exam-related question to the Becker forum. You will normally receive a response from a Becker instructor within a day or two. You can also attend a live or live online class. Even in a live online class, you can ask your instructor questions in real-time.
And finally, if you choose the top Becker package , you can work with a tutor. With the Pro course, you can schedule up to five one-on-one tutoring sessions with a Becker instructor. For example, if you get tired of working through the test bank, switch things up by reviewing the flashcards. Or, try your hand at the Accounting for Empires game if you want to learn while having a little fun at the same time.
Thankfully, Becker is a review provider that has developed a mobile app so you can study anywhere, anytime. Just download the Becker app from your app store. Then, use the same log-in for the mobile app that you use for the online platform.
From there, you can access all your Becker study materials. To get started, log into your online user portal when you have internet access. There, you will find a section of downloadable material. Choose the file that is appropriate for your operating system, complete the download, and study anytime. Each exam section is 4 hours long, so candidates have to learn how to focus for that length of time.
They also need to practice their pacing. That is, if you take too much time on any one question, you might not have enough time to finish your exam. Additionally, the pacing of the lectures is also convenient for quick and painless learning. The lectures in each module can be minutes in length, but the course divides them into minutes sections so you can focus on one topic at a time.
Finally, the instructors that lead these lectures are CPAs, Ph. Ds, and accounting, law, or business professionals with real-world experience. SkillMaster videos are exclusive to Becker and really help to set the course apart from others on the market. Specifically, these videos feature an instructor using custom animation and touchscreen technology to guide candidates through the steps of answering practice TBSs.
The instructors provide step-by-step tips and strategies so you can apply key exam concepts to each TBS. When you purchase a Becker course , you receive both printed textbooks and e-books. Becker lets you choose when you want the printed textbooks delivered according to their content update schedule. All of the books are fairly comprehensive and well-written.
Becker updates their lectures and textbooks twice a year on June 11 and December 11 to cover the new content that becomes testable each July 1 and January 1. They stop covering old concepts as soon as the CPA Exam stops testing on these concepts. Becker also supplies lecture outlines at the unit level. These outlines summarize the main concepts for each module within the unit.
Each full Becker CPA course also comes with 12 simulated exams. These simulated exams replicate the format and functionality of the exam down to the smallest detail. The prompts that lead you through the simulated exam also look exactly like they do on exam day. The 12 simulated exams break down to 3 exams for each of the 4 CPA Exam sections. Two of the 3 simulated exams for a section are weighted just like the CPA Exam is, and the other simulated exam serves as a comprehensive review that helps you discover all the areas in which you can further increase your knowledge to maximize your exam score.
All of the questions within the simulated exams are new to you; they have not been recycled from other practice exams. Finally, all of the questions within the simulated exams are new to you; they are not questions you would have seen on the other practice tests within the course. All of the Becker courses also come with unlimited practice tests. These tests differ from the simulated exams in that the practice tests randomly pull from all of the questions within the course.
These tests allow you to get even more practice in before you take the simulated exams. One new addition is that Becker added the Adapt2U technology into unlimited practice tests so they can be more personalized to really focus on areas of weakness. This targeted, personalized feature can help candidates save time and effort when practicing for the exam. The practice tests supply a mini CPA Exam experience by featuring 2 testlets.
By working through these testlets, you can develop your familiarity with the look and feel of the exam while reinforcing your retention of the exam content. And really, the availably of unlimited practice tests could be one of the reasons why the Becker CPA Exam pass rates are so strong.
So in this way, Becker almost overprepares CPA candidates. The number of practice questions Becker supplies varies according to the course package you purchase. Additionally, Becker constantly compares the quality of their questions against the most recent version of the CPA Exam to ensure that their questions remain up to date and effective for helping candidates pass. This is another reason why Becker pass rates for CPA candidates are high.
Although the practice questions are great, why limit yourself to just one learning tool when a Becker course gives you so many ways to study? Most candidates start their final review weeks prior to their actual exam date. Becker is only 1 of 2 CPA review companies to provide candidates with a fully comprehensive final review.
So, what does this mean? An effective final review stage could be the difference between passing or failing the CPA Exam, so this is a truly important feature. In fact, this final review could contribute to the high Becker CPA pass rate statistics.
The Becker study planner helps you create the most efficient study schedule according to which exam section you are taking and when. Becker CPA Review allows all candidates to receive as much academic support from experienced professors as they need. Specifically, you can receive professor mentoring by posting your exam-related questions to a forum and getting a response back within 48 hours or less.
You can also search through archived discussions to get immediate access to similar candidate questions and their answers. However, candidates who purchase the Premium or Pro course packages will also receive access to success coaches. These coaches will recommend that candidates set specific goals for their CPA Exam journey and help candidates formulate plans to meet these goals.
Finally, candidates who go with the Pro course package can also take advantage of the 5 tutoring sessions that Becker offers.
These 1-on-1 tutoring sessions afford Becker students the opportunity to receive personalized help from CPA-certified instructors.
During each 1-hour session, you can ask the instructor specific questions about the CPA Exam content with which you are struggling. With these classes, you can join a live webinar, listen to the lecturer, and ask a question in real-time. Therefore, these classes let social learners get the additional support and instruction they need to succeed on the CPA Exam. Becker is also the only CPA review provider to continue to offer live classes in a classroom setting, with more than 80 classes worldwide.
I have two seperate icons on my desktop, one for and one for You can try Becker through Facebook. They are MUCH better at answering there, than customer service or customer service email. What a bunch of idiots! Thanks for the update. I was wondering what to do. Thanks for the quick post. I was going to try to run the lecture disc with the course disc. That could have been bad.
