I was a career changer. My prior work had nothing to do with accounting, and my bachelor's in business administration only included two Intro to Accounting courses - 25 years ago. The Becker Academy Financial Accounting Foundations 1 course and Professor Anderson finally made debits and credits click, so I could follow what the FAR instructors were saying, passing the FAR exam on the first try. I chose Becker for CPA Exam Review because of Newt, Becker's AI tool and the reputation in the industry. What a great decision! Newt AI was my CPA coach on speed dial, really helping me pass all 4 CPA Exams in 6 months.

Becker's lectures, practice problems, and simulated exams were engaging and well organized, and they ultimately proved to be very representative of what I would face on exam day. The completion-based user interface and Exam Tracker were helpful for keeping a good pace while avoiding burnout.

Becker was instrumental in helping me stay on track with my CPA Exam timeline. The courses were straightforward, easy to follow, and let me work at my own pace to balance work and other time commitments. The multiple-choice questions helped me identify and improve my weak areas.Using Becker, I passed all four sections on the first try and earned the Elijah Watt Sells Award.

I studied for both parts of the CMA Exam with Becker. Looking back, it was about 100 hours of study for each part, but Becker made it feel easy and simple. Their instructors are just amazing and the simulated tests make the actual CMA Exam feel familiar as the screen mirrors exactly what you will see in the exam layout wise. I did pass both exams on the first try! As of May 2026 I am officially a CMA and in very good part thanks to Becker! If you are looking to pursue your CMA, Becker must be your first choice. Don't be afraid of not knowing everything in the test, let Becker take you through this journey one day at a time.

Becker's EA prep program was great! The content was organized, clear and focused on exactly what I needed to know to pass all three EA Exams on my first attempt. The instructors were excellent - knowledgeable, engaging, and always able to explain complex tax topics in a way that actually stuck. Their guidance gave me the confidence and structure I needed throughout the entire process. I'm incredibly grateful for Becker's support, and I highly recommend their program to anyone serious about becoming an Enrolled Agent.

After previously using Gleim and not passing, I honestly felt discouraged. When I switched to Becker, the difference was clear right away. The material felt much more relevant and closely aligned with what appeared on the CIA exams. Using Becker, I was able to pass all three parts of the CIA exam within nine months. The practice questions, explanations, and overall structure helped me understand how the exam is really tested—not just the theory. In contrast, my experience with Gleim was that the content didn’t match the exam well, which made it harder to prepare effectively. Becker gave me the confidence and clarity I needed to finally succeed, and I would strongly recommend it to anyone serious about passing the CIA exams.
