"All I needed was the proper direction, and it worked like a charm."
I cannot thank you and all of Becker enough. This was something hanging over my head for 20 years. All I needed was the proper direction and it worked like a charm. Took Becker in February for BEC, passed! Took Becker in May for AUD, passed! I'm a walking advertisement for you guys and you truly deserve it.
Michael Giller
"It was great"
I took all four tests and passed all four during the Becker class. It was great, and I can't imagine taking the exam without it.
Mike Kinney
"The online study program was perfectly suited to my needs..."
I can honestly say that I would not have been able to achieve my scores without the help of Becker. The online study program was perfectly suited to my needs, and the lectures, outlines, and tests were outstanding.
Eric Hessler
"Busy Schedule ..."
As a mother of a 2-year old and a full time worker, I thought for sure my chances of passing the exam on the first time were slim. However, with the help and guidance of your course, I was able to pass all four parts the first time in just six months. Thanks for all your help.
Amanda Gibson
"Money well spent!"
I can say that I do not think I would have even passed without Becker. I received my undergraduate degree 18 years ago and graduate degree 12 years ago so it has been quite a long time since I had to prepare for a test. I followed your program, attended class and did all the homework, and received scores better than I expected. Money well spent!

"I know that this is the best CPA review program out there and I will recommend this to everybody I know?"
I have just received the exam results for Financial and Business which I took back in May, and I have passed both of them with very high scores — 89 and 94 — thanks to Becker. Thanks for all your help. I know that this is the best CPA review program out there and I will recommend this to everybody I know who needs to take the exam in the future.
Sincerely,
Makoto Hikida
"Becker was absolutely the best career decision I have ever made."
Becker gave me the tools and confidence I needed to pass the CPA Exam. I had been out of college for 13 years before I sat for my first exam. Becker was absolutely the best career decision I have ever made.
Thanks, Becker.
Tim Parker
"I could not have made it without you. I am still in shock. I cannot believe I made an 80."
Thank you so much for your help. I could not have made it without you. I am still in shock. I cannot believe I made an 80. Tell your students to do everything you say and they will be successful.
See you soon,
Judy Crawford
"All four on the first try"
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone at Becker. Thanks to the review course, as of last week, I was able to pass all four sections on the first try!
Annie Cheese
"You made my life easier"
Your review course offers so much and mirrors the CPA Exam to a 'T'! Thank you so much for making my life easier.
Kristin Alongi
"CPA Review courses provided me with the tools and the structure..."
Becker CPA Review courses provided me with the tools and the structure I needed to pass the CPA Exam. Choosing between the cash bonus and a Becker review course paid for by my firm was a no-brainer.
Mona Copenhaver
"The miracle that I needed..."
Thank you for facilitating the miracle that I needed to go from a record of multiple failed attempts in each exam section (before Becker) to passing each section (after Becker) on the first try.
Jenny Norton
"I passed all four parts of the exam the first-time"
I just received notice from my state board that I am officially a CPA -- thanks in large part to Becker. I passed all four parts of the exam the first-time, so I highly recommend Becker to anyone looking for a review course.
Vanessa Mullins
"I passed all four parts on the first try!"
I just found out my last score for financial and learned that I passed all four parts on the first try! Thanks for your help, and thanks to Becker!
Sanket Kapadia
"I needed a lot of help and Becker was great."
I was just notified that I have passed the auditing section of the CPA exam. I have now passed all four parts thanks to Becker. With a full-time job and 4 children at home, I needed a lot of help and Becker was great.
Brock Jarrett
"I was able to pass all four parts of the exam on the first attempt"
Thank you to Becker for an outstanding CPA review program. With your help, I was able to pass all four parts of the exam on the first attempt. As a career switcher with virtually no accounting experience, I cannot say thank you enough for covering the "exam essential" material so well.
David Long Jr.
"Great materials and awesome professors..."
I just received the score notice of FARE and I am done! I wouldn't have made this without the help of Becker. Great materials and awesome professors make Becker the best in the business.
Murali Elambilan
"The online course was the perfect tool..."
I passed all four parts of the CPA Exam on the first attempt. The online course was the perfect tool that I needed to get through this beast and it worked!
Aaron Smith
"I didn't just pass the CPA Exam, I conquered it! "
I passed all four parts of the CPA Exam on my first try. Thanks to Becker's incredible system of lectures, simulations, and homework problems, I didn't just pass the CPA Exam, I conquered it!

"The review is definitely money well spent"
I just wanted to let you know that I survived the audit test on Tuesday. I got finished earlier than expected so I hope it's a good sign. I had seen almost all of the multiple-choice questions before in my review.
Overall, I feel really good about it. The Becker course is so similar to the real exam that I literally felt like I was sitting down at my computer at home.
The review is definitely money well spent. I really appreciate your suggestions during my final review. I feel like the advice helped me to focus and get on track.Thanks,
Lisa Phillips
"There were no surprises on test day"
I'd like to say thank you to everyone at BECKER for putting together such an outstanding CPA review program. With your help, I was able to pass all 4 CPA exams on the first attempt. As a career switcher with virtually no accounting experience, I cannot say thank you enough for covering the "exam essential" material so well. There were no surprises on test day!!
David Long Jr.
"Becker's instructional method is professional, interesting, and fun."
The classes are well organized and present the material in an easy to understand format. Your instructional method is both extrememly professional as well as interesting and fun. Your lectures and explanations are both clear and precise which help to learn material easier. Thank you again for a positive learning experience.
Deborah Ward
"The Becker method is the best on the market."
Thank you for helping me passing the CPA Exam. The Becker method is the best on the market. Going to classes, doing my homework and being on top of everything was very helpful! Again, thank you, Becker.
Sincerely,
John Medoukh
"Becker is a 100% exam-based course"
No doubt, Becker is a 100% exam-based course. To get through the tests, there is no better course than Becker.

Comprehensive Course and Study Materials
"Becker sets the standard for all CPA review materials"
I found out today that I have officially passed all four parts of the exam. I cannot put into words what your program has done for me. Not only did I pass, I made a 90, 91, 88 and 88!! To all the graduates who are fixing to apply for the exam, BUY BECKER. If I had to do it all over, I would pay double the price for the value I received. Becker sets the standard for all CPA review materials and is hands down the reason that I am QUALIFIED, CERTIFIED AND LICENSED!!
A. Nicole Miceli
". . .the best investment of my time I have ever made"
Becker is by far the best investment of my time I have ever made. I began studying with other materials, but found that they had triple the information I actually needed for the exam. My tip is to read the material that you're told to highlight again and again! If you do this, and work each MC at least once, you will pass with flying colors. My scores were: 90 BEC, 91 FAR, 92 REG, and 93 AUD.
Dan Casto
"I couldn't imagine preparing for the exam without Becker."
Even though I'm an accounting professor, I couldn't imagine preparing for the exam without Becker. The concise summaries of material, engaging lectures, and abundance of problems offer a thorough grounding in what you need to know to be able to succeed.
John Coulter
"I would recommend your class to any CPA candidate."
Studying for the CPA exam truly required more effort than anything I have ever attempted. Through Becker, I was able to receive exam scores of 86-REG, 87-BEC, 96-FAR, and 99-AUD. Truth be told, I used additional study material for the first 2 exams which yielded lower scores then my last two exams in which I solely used the Becker material to study. I would recommend your class to any CPA candidate.
Todd Potter
"You have covered everything."
The CPA Exam was great. In short, Becker is great. Nothing was left to question. You have covered everything.

"Without Becker's materials, I would not have succeeded."
I would like to thank and congratulate Becker for giving such an excellent study material and fantastic teaching through CDs. I have now qualified as a Certified Public Accountant.
In spite of my preoccupations, I passed the CPA examination only because of Becker, which addresses the CPA exam requirements very adequately. I studied Becker's books and used Passmaster and Final Exam CD. I found both the books and the CD to be very useful.
Without Becker's materials, I would not have succeeded in becoming a CPA. When I attended the real exam conducted by AICPA I really found myself familiar and comfortable with the pattern and type of questions.Regards,
K. Rajasekaran
"I just spent the past year taking the individual exam sections and managed to pass each section on the first try."
I would like to thank the people at Becker and compliment you on the excellent course material that you put together. I just spent the past year taking the individual exam sections and managed to pass each section on the first try. Thanks Becker.
Sincerely,
Robert Miller
"I owe it all to Becker!!! Your review materials are excellent!!!"
Guess what? I made it!!! I just got the results last week and I am so happy that I passed all four parts of the CPA Examination!!! I owe it all to Becker!!! Your review materials are excellent!!!
I will recommend you to all my friends and colleagues.
For all Becker students who are preparing to sit for the exam, I recommend that they read their books from cover to cover and go over it several times until they master the concepts. There is no short cut to passing the CPA!!! Now I am more than ready to face the corporate world and I am looking forward to a more secure and better future...Thank You Becker!!!

"On the real CPA Exam, I scored at least 10 points higher than on the Becker exams."
I loved the Final Exam software that Becker has, and I took all my exams after I studied everything thoroughly. I always made sure to give myself at least 3 days between the Becker's exam and the real thing, this way I would still have time to review everything I had learned.
However, my fear was this: "What if the real test was a lot harder? What if I got lucky on the practice exam?" After all, I was barely passing some of them as it was, and I missed Business! My Becker scores were: REG — 75%, Audit — 83%, Business — 72% and FAR — 75%.
On the real CPA Exam, I scored at least 10 points higher than on the Becker exams. I would have felt a lot more relaxed before the CPA Exam, had I know how truly realistic Becker's exams were!Justin Blakeslee
"I passed all four sections of the CPA Exam on my first attempt. "
Perfect format for CPA Exam preparation! I passed all four sections of the CPA Exam on my first attempt.

Becker Instructors
"Success in all of my exams on my first attempt"
To my two classroom instructors . . .I am happy to inform you both that I was successful in all of my exams and this was my first attempt at all of them. My scores were Reg-79,BEC-85,FAR-88, AUD-90. I am grateful for the assistance you both provided me.
Shyan Bell
"The national instructors were excellent"
As I embark my professional career, I will always remember your valuable assistance. I have no doubt in my mind that Becker Review is the best material available for passing the CPA exam. The national instructors were excellent and did a great job in explaining the complex concepts that were tested in the CPA exam.
Gaurav Mehra
"Thank you for believing in me and encouraging me to achieve this goal"
My passing grades were REG 85, BEC 76, FAR 75, AUD 83. I am happy to be a member of the 300 club. The repetition and constant studying recommended by our favorite instructors did pay off at a time that I was ready to give up. I learned a valuable lesson that is no goal is too lofty to attain, if you do the right things. I really want to thank you for believing in me and encouraging me to achieve this goal.
Kristy Freitas
"I not only passed the exams, I nailed them."
I never had a professor who inspired me to work harder, and who gave me the confidence to do what I set out to do. It sounds funny, but I immediately picked up on being called a "scholar" and it motivated me.
Most of all, my Becker professor truly loved her students and cared passionately about their success. For that, and for everything, I am extremely grateful.
Let me also say that without the Becker Review courses and supporting materials, I know I could not have passed the exams. I not only passed the exams, I nailed them.Best wishes,
Steve McLain
"With the help of the Becker Instructors...I finally passed Business!!!"
With the help of the Becker Instructors...I finally passed Business!!! I actually drove about 6 hours round trip each Saturday to sit in Becker's Business classes. After studying with Bisk CDs, I took the plunge and signed up for Becker. Again, thanks to the program, I finally got over the hump!!

Live Classes
"Passing all sections the first time with high scores has really impressed my highly credentialed co-workers and my boss."
There is absolutely no way I could have gotten through this without the Becker material and the live classes. I was nervous about whether I had forgotten all that I learned in college since it had been 7 years. It was very difficult and took a ton of discipline, but I think that sacrificing 5 months out of my life for the CPA designation is a great deal. Passing all of these sections the first time through with high scores has really impressed my highly credentialed co-workers and my boss. Thank you so much for being a major part of this incredible accomplishment that I will have for the rest of my life!
Joshua Hunter
"I passed all four sections on the first attempt."
I just wanted to take a moment to pass along yet another Becker success story. I was notified yesterday that I had passed the third and fourth sections of my CPA exam. I passed all four sections on the first attempt.
Becker summarized all my accounting course work, experience and allowed me to focus on the important information. I owe my current success to the Becker Review course! Thanks; keep up the good work.Sincerely,
John R. Chamberlin
"I have a totally new outlook on my career."
I am excited to report I passed all 4 parts of the CPA exam on my first try in the Jan/Feb window. I was a student in your recent online course. I just got my scores - FARE 92, AUD 93, Business 84, REG 75. I received my certificate number from the State of Alabama on Friday. I have a totally new outlook on my career. I wish you and all the Becker team the best. Thank you so much for everything. You guys are awesome!
Thanks,
Edward Clark
"I passed all four parts on my first attempt."
I'd like to thank Becker for everything the instructors did. I passed all four parts on my first attempt. I did both online and live courses, and both gave me the tools to successfully pass the exam. I would definitely recommend the program to anyone.

Online Course
"I can confidently suggest your online course to any student."
I was initially doubtful when I started as an online student, as to how promptly & accurately I would get a response for my queries. But I can confidently suggest your online course to any student.
Thanks again,

"The online course was very flexible . . very beneficial when working around a Big 4 work schedule."
I'd like to offer my thanks to Becker, the instructors, and the great material that was put together for the CPA exam. I felt very confident going into each test by using the Becker software and passed all 4 sections the first time around (BEC 84, FAR 90, AUD 92, REG 86). The online course was very flexible and allowed me to go at my own pace. This proved very beneficial when working around a Big 4 public accounting work schedule. Thanks again.
K Camehl
"Your strategies were simply amazing!"
Just wanted to let you know that I passed the Financial section with an 89. Thank you so much for your help as it's obvious from this result that your assistance played a major factor in my success (compared to my previous failing result with a different course). Your strategies were simply amazing!
Aaron Apfelbaum
"Passing sure does feel terrific"
Well, passing sure does feel terrific! I'm just excited that I was able to fulfill my goal of passing all sections the first time around, and now on to the Ethics exam! I want to thank you especially for your encouragement, motivation and humor. I'll certainly miss receiving my weekly emails (on-line course format). Thanks also to everyone at Becker for providing really excellent prep material!
L. Steadman
"Out of school for 17 years"
I tested for BEC and REG in July . . .received my scores, and you'll be happy to know that I scored an 86 in BEC and 84 in REG. Not bad for someone who has been out of school for 17 years. Speaks highly of the Becker course. Thanks.
Mark Williams
CD Course
"The quality of the CD Self Study course has exceeded my expectations."
I just wanted to thank you for providing me with such excellent course material. The quality of the instructional CD courses have exceeded my expectations. I find the material sticking in my mind as if it were cemented to my memory like bricks of a wall. Some of my co-workers have been using other study guides, or the free materials given to us by our firm, and I can see the frustration with which they try to trudge through the material, often only making it through a few pages per hour. Your material makes it easy to learn the most important and heavily tested areas quickly and efficiently. The review questions are extremely helpful in reviewing the material in preparation for the exam. Specifically, the enthusiasm with which the instructors convey the material makes it difficult not to pay attention. I love the pneumonics. They provide a smart and memorable way to remember complex journal entries as well as other difficult material. Thank you again, and thanks to all of the instructors.
Austin Force
"I've taken and passed all four sections of the CPA exam. I took them individually and passed each on the first attempt."
I wanted to send a note of thanks. I enrolled in Becker's CD-ROM CPA prep course last March. I've taken and passed all four sections of the CPA exam. I took them individually and passed each on the first attempt.
I worked full time while studying and also coached my children's soccer teams during most of this time period. My scores aren't as impressive as those I've read about on some of your testimonials, but the scores improved with each exam. In order, they were 80, 81, 86, and 89 for Business, TAX, AUD, and FAR respectively.
I truly feel that I would not have attained first-attempt passing scores without this course. The lecturers were great. They injected humor in just the right amounts to maintain a healthy attitude. I'll admit it was incredibly bad humor, but it was perfect for the setting. The few opportunities I had to interact with customer service were handled professionally. As was stated in many lectures, "I'm on my way to a CPA".Thanks again,
Thomas Utley
"Because I've been out of school for 16 years, I knew I needed a solid review course"
Becker really works!! Because I had been out of college for 16 years, and with the new testing format, I knew I needed a solid review course. Of course you may ask why I waited so long to finally get serious about taking the exam. My answer to that is I realized that my career and salary were going nowhere without it. The instructors were great! They kept me interested, entertained, and encouraged. Humor helps a lot! I used the CD-Self Study format and found it very flexible for my schedule. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Constance Smith-Brown
"The materials were so thorough"
I wanted to let you know that I used your CD Self Study format and passed all 4 parts the first time through. The materials were so thorough that I almost felt a little underprepared going into the exam, but when taking the exam itself, it almost felt easy. I have recommended you to everybody who has heard that I passed and asked how. Thanks.
Ryan Katz
"...awesome national instructors."
I just wanted to say thanks to Becker and the awesome national instructors. I passed all four parts on the first try using the self-study CD's. I have a very hectic schedule and I loved the freedom of being able to study when and where I wanted to.

"The Becker system really works!"
I thought I would let you know that I'm done. Yeah!! I received my last score today, a 94 in FAR. Last summer, I received a 96 in REG, 92 in AUD and 93 in BEC. You were really great answering my email questions and appreciated it. I guess the Becker system really works!
Richard Eichner
"My results say it all."
I studied for all 4 parts at once and devised a strategy that relied heavily on Becker's CD Self Study course features such as the actual lectures, the practice questions, the simulations and the practice exams. I focused more of my attention on Financial, Auditing, and Regulations as I had heard they were the most difficult. My results say it all -- Thanks Becker. Financial=99, Regulation=99, Auditing=97, Business=92
Jonathon Booth
"I am so happy . . . "
I just got my last score yesterday. Audit: 97, Business: 93, Financial: 96, Regulation: 95. Thank you very much for all your help in these 6 months. I am so happy that they are OVER!.

"I was recognized for having the highest-combined score in the state on the Pennsylvania CPA Exam"
Recently, I was recognized for having the highest-combined score in the state on the Pennsylvania CPA exam by the PICPA (91, 92, 93, 94) for 2004.
Thanks again for your help and teaching with the audit section!Matthew Perchonoc
"Becker did a superb job preparing me for the CPA exam"
Becker did a superb job preparing me for the CPA exam. Without Becker I wouldn't have been able to pass all 4 sections the first time around with as high of scores as I received.
Evan McLaughlin
"I passed all 4 parts on my first try"
I just wanted to thank you for your amazing course. I passed all 4 parts on my first try. My scores are as follows: FAR-90, REG-91,BEC-85,AUD-89.

I made it! I cleared all the CPA Exam sections. On my first attempt: Scored 92 in FARE, 93 in REG, 88 in Auditing and 86 in BEC. I really thank the professors and Becker study material that made all the difference.
Swati Jain
"...great review course and outstanding professors"

Final Review
"The Final Review made a lot of difference"
I completed the entire Becker course for Audit via CD self study prior to attending the Final Review. I really feel like the Final Review made a lot of difference. I passed the exam with a 91! I have to admit that, at first, I was concerned about the cost, but after just one section, I can rest assured that it was money well spent. Thanks again to the whole Becker team.
Ardon Smith
"I didn't just pass this part; I beat it into submission and made it beg for mercy."
As I promised, I am emailing you regarding the experience I had this afternoon in the BEC exam. Of all the studying I have done, yesterday's Final Review session was by far the most useful and valuable component. I went in confidently, controlled the clock, and knew everything that was asked of me. Your top 25 and top 20 (cost & finance, respectively) were 100% on target. I didn't just pass this part; I beat it into submission and made it beg for mercy. The credit is all yours My most humble thanks.
