Holy mother of God!!!!!!!!

As most know, I finished college about 6 months ago. Well I have to sit for the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) Exam and was looking to enroll in a coaching course for the exam. Becker CPA review is the best, no questions. But when I called to get the software, they told me it would cost $2575 for the CD-Roms! Furthurmore, if I don't finish within a year, I have to repay again!!!

Now I have to choose between paying out the anus for a great program or going with a lesser program with not as much of a reputation. The cost of the latter: $306.

Not a happy camper...

That is unbelievable, sorry to hear. Hope you pass your exam anyway :salut:

If it were me and MY money.. Id pay the smaller amount. If you fail then you're out $306 and spend the big $$ anyways. If/WHEN you pass you are up $2200! That's a lot of cards!

Let's compound this furthur:

I am an audio learner. If I hear it, I know it. Reading large textbooks is not my forte as I get bored very fast and usually can't read more than 5 pages before falling asleep or staring at the ceiling.

The $306 course is nothing but textbooks.

I say shell out the $. You NEED to pass that exam at this point, so don't settle for less unless you absolutely have to. Go with the best, because you sure won't want to take that test a second time around.

Pat your pockets and put the cash down. You usually get what you pay for when it comes to computer based learning.

Sorry to hear about it Chris, but this is pretty much true.

Well, in THAT case(thank you for all the info now) Id say drop the cash and make sure you get it done. THis is your future you are talking about now.

Definitely pay for the better one. It's a crapload of money, but when it comes to real-life success, you need to bite the bullet, no questions asked.

just make sure they can make it sound exciting and not monotone

Washington? Or Wisconsin?

Wisconsin. I have UW Milwaukee, and UW Waukesha within driving distance from me. However Waukesha is about 20 minutes closer to me, so I would probably go there.
