I used Becker materials (Online & CD-ROM course, Pass Master, flashcards, and Final Review product) to prepare for each section of the exam. This sounds like a lot, but they all work together. Becker’s online course is a duplication of their CD-ROM course (without simulations and practice exams) but allows access to materials anywhere you can access the internet.
How to use the materials for success:
• Actively view each lecture topic by highlighting important parts of your book & flashcards and taking notes & making flashcards if you didn’t purchase them. Use Strategic Learning techniques.

• Pause the lecture for a short break roughly every 20 minutes to get up and stretch, run up and down some stairs, take a few deep breaths, or drink some water.
• Following each lecture topic, immediately do the MCQ for that topic until you achieve 100%. If the MCQ stump you, move to the next topic (view lecture and work MCQ again on another day if you have time). Remember, not everything you study will be on the exam, don’t sweat it.
• The next day, review your flashcards for the section just completed. Carry them with you at all times, so you can memorize them. Memorization is critical to success on exam day!
• Work every simulation for a chapter before beginning the next chapter. Focus on the written tab, as your performance here can earn up to 10 points on your exam.
• At the end of each week, review flashcards from earlier weeks.
Once you’ve completed all chapters, spend two weeks on your final review. Re-work all MCQ, paying attention to time; memorize flashcards; work at least two uninterrupted and timed practice exams; prepare & memorize a data sheet to produce on scratch paper at the exam station.
Thanks for asking, Jen. I’ve listed the basics here (see my blog at http://dh2bcpa.blogspot.com// for additional study tips and advice). If you have further questions about my techniques, just ask. :D
A lot of tools are actually used by different professionals for them to make use of it in getting better of their performances and make the most out of their time. It also serves them to ease their work and a lot more time on other tasks for them to finish.
