Erin Marcom, Elijah Watt Sells Award winner

“Becker was instrumental in my achieving the scores needed to qualify for the Elijah Watt Sells Award. I appreciated Becker's focus on the material most likely to be covered rather than trying to cover every possible bit of information. The instructors were fantastic and helped bring understanding to difficult topics. The lectures, practice multiple choice and task-based simulations, and mock exams were all crucial to my success.” -

 

Maddison Sumners, Elijah Watt Sells Award winner

“Becker provided an abundance of resources, ranging from topical lectures to review questions and simulated exams, that allowed me to effectively prepare for the exams as well as the testing environment.”

 

 

Jordan Donovan Vitt

“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.”

Edward Kreienberg, Elijah Watt Sells Award winner

"Without the resources Becker CPA Review provided I would never have been eligible for the Elijah Watt Sells Award and that’s the cold hard truth. Becker provided a holistic process which included the necessary structure, study plans and review materials to refresh my previous knowledge base and master new concepts on the CPA Exam that I could not have done on my own."

Elizabeth Gregori, Elijah Watt Sells Award winner

"With the variety of lectures, simulations, multiple-choice questions and practice exams, I was able to learn the material in an interactive way. The self-study version of the course gave me the flexibility to study anywhere, from the comfort of my bed doing multiple choice questions at night to a cozy corner in a cafe with a hot cup of coffee. I can’t imagine having studied any other way."
