2013AICPA輔導(dǎo):Improvements to your Becker Course

　　Improvements to your Becker Course

　　Dear Becker Student：

　　On November 4th we will be making significant improvements to your Becker CPA Exam Review course. The purpose of this communication is to provide detail on what is changing and why.

　　Content Changes：
 

　　Regulation

　　We have updated the entire Regulation course to reflect 2013 tax law,which is testable through May 30,2014. We have also reorganized the Regulation lectures to allow more time for coverage of Tax topics (R1-R5),which are tested more heavily on the Regulation Exam than Business Law topics (B6-B8),If you plan to take the Regulation exam in 2014 and you have not started studying (or recently started studying),we strongly recommend that you start fresh with the new 2014 (V1.0)Regulation course. If you have already made significant progress through the 2013 Regulation materials and/or you plan to take the Regulation exam in 2013,you can continue to use your 2013 materials until 12/31/13. The next time you log in to your Regulation course you will be prompted to choose which material to study from.

　　If you decide to switch from your 2013 materials to your new 2014 (V1.0)materials,your course progress statistics will reset. However,your progress to-date with the 2013 materials will be stored within your Summary Report. You can combine your 2013 materials progress with new 2014 (V1.0)materials progress for purposes of determining if you qualify for the Becker Promise. If you change your mind and want to switch back to 2013 materials after selecting the new 2014 (V1.0)course,you can do so by clicking the "revert back to 2013 materials" button within the course.

　　If you currently have the 2013 Regulation textbook but want to study using the new 2014 (V1.0)materials,you should request the 2014 (V1.0)version of the textbook. When ordering,you will have to pay a nominal fee of $15 to cover production and shipping costs. The content of the 2014 (V1.0)textbook coincides with the new 2014 (V1.0)materials version of the course software. If you requested the 2014 (V1.0)textbook when you originally ordered the course,this textbook will be shipped to you shortly.
 

　　Audit

　　We have updated a number of the lectures within the Audit course to better prepare you if you plan to sit for the exam in 2014. Detail on what is changing within each lecture can be found within the pop up that you will see when you click on a particular lecture in the course software (e.g., A1).If you plan to take the Audit exam in 2014 and you have not started (or recently started studying a particular lecture),we strongly recommend that you start fresh with the new lecture. If you have already studied the updated lectures and/or you plan to take the Audit exam in 2013,you can continue to use your 2013 version of the Audit materials until 12/31/13. The next time you log in to your Audit course you will be prompted at the lecture level to choose which material to study from.

　　If you decide to switch from the 2013 lecture materials to the new 2014 (V1.0)lecture materials your course progress statistics for that lecture will reset. However,your progress to date with that particular lecture will be stored within your Summary Report. You can combine your 2013 lecture progress with new 2014 (V1.0)lecture progress for purposes of determining if you qualify for the Becker Promise. If you change your mind and want to switch back to the 2013 lecture after selecting the new 2014 (V1.0)lecture,you can do so by clicking the "revert back to 2013 materials" button within the course.

　　If you currently have the 2013 Audit textbook but want to study using the new 2014 (V1.0)materials,you should request the 2014 (V1.0)version of the textbook. When ordering,you will have to pay a nominal fee of $15 to cover production and shipping costs. The content of the 2014 (V1.0)textbook coincides with the new 2014 (V1.0)materials version of the course software.

　　Business

　　We have updated two lectures within the BEC course (B1 and B4)to better prepare you if you plan to sit for the exam in 2014. Detail on what is changing within each of these lectures can be found within the pop up that you will see when you click on each of these lectures within the software. If you plan to take the BEC exam in 2014 and you have not started (or recently started studying one of these two lectures),we strongly recommend that you start fresh with the new 2014 (V1.0)lecture. If you have already studied the updated lectures and/or you plan to take the BEC exam in 2013,you can continue to use your 2013 version of the B1 and B4 lectures until 12/31/13. The next time you log in to your BEC course you will be prompted at the B1 and B4 level to choose which material to study from.

　　If you decide to switch from the 2013 lecture materials to the new 2014 (V1.0)lecture materials your course progress statistics for that lecture will reset.

　　News Feed

　　A News Feed will be added to the course home page that will allow us to communicate with you regarding content updates,software updates,and errata fixes. We will also use the News Feed to keep you informed about important CPA Exam news. Please check the news feed each time you open your course software.
