A bit O/T, but I passed the CPA without taking a Becker review course. I bought a huge prep book from Wylie, and spent hours after work studying and working the review problems. Becker is now advertising their programs, ranging from over $2000 to $6000. Needless to say, I was shocked.
I did the same thing, but with Gleim books. Passed all four parts (which it was at that time) the first time.
Most of the people I knew were doing the Becker review, and not all passed.
