I agree with the above 100%...I think they are very helpful and help you prepare..I've passed both of the sections I took the first time.

I don't use Becker.. I will ask one of my colleagues if they can give me the addendums. Thx for the suggestion.

I used it to get scores in the 90s for both BEC and REG. Also felt prepared for AUD but haven't received my score yet. My advice would be to use the Bisk video lectures... the book has a lot of extra information that you may not need to know in depth... the lectures get more to the point.

It was pretty good, I passed AUD and BEC with it. It wasn't good enough to pass REG, however - I was weaker in tax stuff, so using Yaeger where they are really good at teaching concepts helped me out a lot. If you are just out of school or strong in the topics to begin with, Bisk is a decent low-cost option. I really liked the Bisk Hot Spot videos taught by Bob Monette.

Yes, it does. If you received your score in the mail but it is not on the NASBA website and your state has online reporting, it is possible that NASBA has your information incorrect. I would suggest that you contact your NASBA coordinator and check it out.

Since Oklahoma is a snail mail state for releasing scores. I would recommend you contact your State's Accountancy Board since virtually 100% of BEC scores are usually released. My guess is the hold up is with your state board. They should be able to tell you one way or another if they have your score or are in wave 2. Good Luck!

Has anyone used Bisk CPA review? If so, how do you think it prepared you?

I took FAR July 2nd in VT and still waiting on my score! Over 2 months and still another few weeks to go. This is crazy.

Thanks, the waiting is killing me. I just took AUD a few days ago, so now i have taken two of them and no scores yet.

I don't think you would lose any point.

Don't be worried! You are in wave 2. You may have had a new simulation or something. Don't worry, it's coming.

Jeff and friends,

Does anyone know whether you lose points if you use the research search tab to get some answers for the memo?

Thanks jackie

"void" as in contract law; not "voidable" (haha - REG exam humor)

To take an exam again, you basically have to start over with fees plus add the "re-examination" fee, which is slightly different for each state. So, in FL, for example, REG costs $193.35 (I think it's the same for every state) plus a $60 re-examination fee (varies for each state). So, $253.35. As if failing wasn't bad enough, they have to charge you an extra $60 to rub it in! It should be CHEAPER your second time around, but whatever. The NTS you had for your last REG exam is now void.

Yes be sure to go to the Becker knowledge base and read up on all of the additional IT addendums!

Jeff, I took BEC in Oklahoma on August 3rd. I should have gotten my grade in wave 1 but didn't. Is this normal or should I be worried that something is wrong with my test/score/etc?

Thanks for that. I took FAR about 2 weeks ago and left the entire second simulation blank, except for the communication tab. I'm pretty sure I tanked the first sim too, but I'm still praying for a miracle.
In the meantime, I'm trying to start on the next part (AUD), but keep worrying that I'll have to retake FAR and will have forgotten it all.

I am not so patiently waiting for AUD in PA. The suspense is killing me! I really need to get down to business and study for BEC. Any tips for that section?
