Becker s CPA Exam Review Reviews

I use notability to take notes on one side and watch the lecture on the other. Whenever I go into half and half split screen mode, the option bar on the bottom that allows me to press play, change settings, etc. disappears and I have to completely force close BeckersCPAExamReview to get it to come back. This also happens on browser but on browser I just have to exit out of the lecture which is also a pain. For BeckersCPAExamReview I have to shut it down completely. Pretty much anyone using an iPad for Becker is going to split their screen to take notes. Fix this!!!

BeckersCPAExamReview doesn’t work correctly in my experience. It worked great on my old iPhone, but when I got an iPhone X, it seemed the application was not formatted correctly for this screen size. I have to tap above any selection I’m trying to make, basically trying to guess the area I’m actually wanting to tap. This causes me to miss multiple choice questions, makes it difficult to select any input boxes and other buttons on the screen, and also some things aren’t even visible because they’re hanging below the viewing area. Very annoyed that it hasn’t been corrected with an update yet.

I like to read and write in the margins on my iPad when I am studying. I was very disappointed to learn that it is impossible to download a PDF version of the Becker textbooks onto an iPad. The only workaround is to download the book onto BeckersCPAExamReview and write within BeckersCPAExamReview . However the Apple Pencil software does not work with the Becker app. So you can not tap the Apple Pencil to switch from the pen to the eraser. Also if you swipe with your finger on BeckersCPAExamReview it will think it’s the pen and will make a mark when you did not intend to do so. Finally, the downloaded book on BeckersCPAExamReview does not maximize to the screen size of the iPad. It expands within a separate window that you have to scroll within. If you accidentally touch outside the window the book will close.

For the price paid it should be easy to access my material and study the way I want to study. I have a Ninja subscription and they allow you to download their book and notes in PDF form and I believe Gleim also allows this. Because of these reasons I regret that I chose not to go with another provider.

Listen, I’m not here to opine on whether or not Becker is the best CPA review prep. You will have to determine that for yourself. I’m here because I’m desperately trying to use the iOS app to review for my upcoming exam and none of the interface is working as it should. Video lectures (which have all supposedly have been pre-downloaded!) constantly freeze, I can’t even view the slides without the page selector freezing (and the slide interface is overall clunky). It’s supposed to be a 1-to-1 translation of the web experience to mobile but nothing is working as it should. I can’t see this working for on-the-go. Developers, please make it functional 😭

I hate that BeckersCPAExamReview forces you to scroll up or down on the pages. If I want to scroll down to look at something lower on the page BeckersCPAExamReview forces you back up to the top where they are. But then if you’re following along letting it scroll for you it will barely even move down. There needs be an option manual scrolling or automatic because this is the most frustrating thing to deal with especially after a long day of studying. My app has also been glitching a lot lately.

BeckersCPAExamReview is useful, especially if you download the content on your iPad device, in order to do question, watch videos, and/or read while traveling (if you do not have mobile service).

If BeckersCPAExamReview developers could fix the annotation of the book via BeckersCPAExamReview (highlighting, notes, underlining, etc) I think it would be beneficial for the upcoming folks.

For example, I was studying for Audit and now I am studying for TCP (Tax Compliance and Planning). I do not have the physical book so I use the pdf version in BeckersCPAExamReview . When I try to highlight/underline stuff, it takes a few seconds for my actions to reflect and also I am unable to highlight new stuff until it “catches up”. This slows me down and is not efficient.

I will say that if I use my work laptop and use google chrome, I can highlight in real time and it keeps up with me. But I like to use my ipad, especially when I want to read. I have tried using safari on my iPad and I experienced the same issue (with and without the Apple Pencil).

My iPad is up to date with the most recent iPadOS and BeckersCPAExamReview is as well.

BeckersCPAExamReview as a whole is good, but the annotated book section and it’s note taking ability needs improvement. If reading the book, it appears to have edges that make it difficult to quickly shuffle through pages and you are susceptible to closing the window (and losing written notes). The note taking is not seamless and using the Apple pen (gen2) is not great. It’s very touchy with grabbing preexisting writing. The highlight function is good, but I suspect BeckersCPAExamReview is trying to do too much with all the options and causing issues. We shouldn’t have to hit the hand to go through pages either. At least make this the default then you should hit a pen to draw. There needs to be multi-point touch feature added that will help the grabbing of writing or make this a separate button.

This has been a very handy app for studying! My one issue is with the flash cards. To me, these are what BeckersCPAExamReview should be used for. Smaller screens of tablets and smartphones are the perfect size for flash cards, yet on my iPhone 8 I can’t see the entire card sometimes and there is no ability to scroll on the flash card. I would just ask Becker to modify the flash card section to fit the screen or to give the ability to scroll. Other than that, a wonderful tool.

The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I always forget to download the contents beforehand and find myself stuck with not being able to access the materials from my phone. However, BeckersCPAExamReview is great when on the go. I usually use it on my way to or back from work on the metro, so it is very convenient to access the materials (once downloaded of course) from anywhere. This really helped me catch up on a number of items!

I love Becker and appreciate having access to the lectures on the go. I do wish the new features like the personalized review sessions were available on BeckersCPAExamReview though. The Becker Empire app makes you answer 30+ questions correctly and they are the same questions each time. The personalized review sessions are super handy for drilling new MCQs, and I really wish that was available on BeckersCPAExamReview so I could do that whenever I have spare time. Not just when I’m at a desktop.

I love that Becker has a mobile app so I can study on the go. I recently got an iPad and it’s my favorite way to watch the lectures and do the MCQ instead of lugging around my laptop. However, I noticed that I can’t do personalized practice tests that show the correct answer immediately after each question (not from the individual units tab in the study section nor the unlimited practice test page). This feature is the most helpful during my final review, but now I am finding that I have to go to my computer to enjoy that feature. I am also not able to see the proficiency stars for each module on my iPad, which is helpful in assessing my progress. Becker: PLEASE add this feature to the mobile app so users can utilize the full Becker experience on mobile.

Thank you for making BeckersCPAExamReview and I hope you incorporate my feedback!

I always do my MCQs so much fast on a mobile device. While it’s good to get used to a desktop, the mobile app is great for quick reviews of multiple choice questions.

I’m not sure, but I think the calculator had issues with keeping my values as I switched between reading the question and doing calculations this made studying for FAR difficult. But I’d still recommend getting BeckersCPAExamReview .

One complaint is that you have to download the whole module. I wish there was an option to download the MCQs separate from the module.

I have been struggling to understand how all of the financial statements tie together, how debits and credits increase and decrease, and which sides to increase and decrease. I was having such a difficult time but when I started using Becker CPA exam review, it was like my mind was finally starting to grasp what everything means and it is self-paced and very informative. There are videos for questions that you get wrong or get right for further explanation. I am beyond impressed thank you guys you are awesome!!!!

If you are studying for the CPA exam, I highly recommend Becker. They have the information you need to pass. It is extremely well organized, and taught by professional presenters.

I considered looking up the list of tested subjects and finding the answers myself, but Becker has already streamlined the learning process. Why wouldn’t I just trust the decades of experience of highly educated people who dedicate their careers to helping me pass the CPA exam?

I am glad I choose Becker.

I love this application. So convenient to study anywhere I can. But this week had several crashes and second day I could not open it. I sent email to the support. Then I decided to delete and install it again. I did it several times. And not it is back to work. I am just advising to those who have the same problem to do the same. It might work for you as well.

It is so nice to be able to do everything on an iPad instead of a big computer! Everything works flawlessly and is easy to use. The only downside is for some of the simulations that have exhibits you have to slide the screen back and forth because if they fit it all on one screen it would be too small to read. But other than that I really like it.

I enjoy taking the quizzes, but I have issues to listening to lectures while using BeckersCPAExamReview . They require you to download the lectures, but the lectures are constantly cutoff due to network connectivity issues. I wanted to listen to the lectures while driving, but this is not an option due to this issue.

I originally purchased Surgent, but had a hard time with lectures as they more resembled a college lecture. The lecturers with Becker are great at keeping you engaged and highlighting key parts of the text rather than just reading. I think that’s the largest difference other than I like the Becker physical layout better. Mcq’s and tbs have been pretty much the same but very good. I am having issues (probably self inflicted) trying to schedule live classes.

Overall, great program so far - easy to follow, cut up into bite sized pieces with the best lectures.

I’ve been using BeckersCPAExamReview for a couple years now and the practice test are STILL BROKEN. You can start one but once started, even answering all the questions, there’s no way to end or submit the test. All that time wasted just to not see your results is really frustrating.

I highly recommend enabling the face recognition feature to make the log in process more friendly using.
Also, it will be adding value if you can upload the Task Based Simulation (videos only) so we can listen to them while driving.

Thanks
