What Is Adapt2U?
The trend in the CPA review course industry is to come up with buzzwords to market their products in a way that differeniates themselves from other courses.
Becker CPA Review is no different.
They coined the term 'Adapt2U.'
Former Becker Students who are re-enrolling (Becker license/software has expired) Current Becker Students who are nearing the end of their current license and want to re-enroll (Becker license/software will be expiring in one month or less). If you need an additional extension beyond the 3-month period earned with the Becker CPA guarantee, you can (within 90 days of course expiration): Upgrade to the Premium package to receive unlimited access to all four sections of the course, plus one free tutoring session, or Purchase a 3-month extension for a single section of the course.
Which is supposed to be their form of adaptive learning.
It's a pre-assessment that you take prior to each module made up of multiple choice questions.
If you score really high, their system assumes you 'understand' the material and recommends that you can skip the lecture and so forth.
But the thing is and the AICPA has even said this themselves, multiple choice are not a good gauge of your understanding.
So take their Adapt2U system with a grain of salt and understand that you may guess on a multiple choice question and get it right or even worse, get a question right for the wrong reason and then their adaptive system might think you understand the material.
NEW FEATURE: Skills Practice Modules
Where Becker does shine is in their Skills Practice Modules.
For each section, you will have a 'Skills Practice Module' walkthrough of an example simulations.
This simulation will test you on the various skill levels you will be tested on the CPA exam.
This feature is unique to the industry and shows that Becker is on top of its game to preparing you for understanding the AICPA blueprints.
As you are probably well aware, the AICPA is focusing on testing CPA candidates based on higher learning skills instead of just the basic memorizing and understanding skills that multiple choice test you on.
For each Skills Practice Module you will have an instructor walk you through the simulation and you will be able to take the practice question as well to test your understanding.
This is an excellent way to apply key concepts that you should have just learned from their video lectures and/or textbook.
It is also a powerful feature to utilize when you are in final review mode and have a strong understanding of the material.
Quality of CPA Exam Questions
Now the important question to ask is do the CPA exam questions offered teach you the blueprints and actually prepare you for the real thing.
Becker offers several thousand multiple choice and simulations which is more than enough to use to pass the CPA exam.
I also found that their question explanations were some of the best in the business, which is important if you are someone who learns well from answering questions and teaching yourself from the answers.
I also found that the questions line up well with the specific AICPA blueprint that is discussed in the module.
How Are Becker CPA Review's Mock Exams?
Becker CPA Review also provides you with 12 Simulated Mock Exams to prep you for exam day.
As you know the CPA exam is dynamic based on how you perform per testlet so it's difficult for CPA review courses to predict how your experience will be.
I believe Becker does a decent job of re-creating the CPA exam experience which is good practice for you.
Becker Software Expired Version
It's great that they give you this tool to use to also practice on your time management.
So use them knowing that the CPA exam will likely be different then what you see on the Mock Exam but that it's not really the point.
Becker Software Expired Or Lost
It's more about getting you comfortable with time management and understanding how the exam actually works and functions.
