Queen and David Bowie. Ben and Jerry.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the best things in life, from tech to art to ice cream, come from legendary collaborations. However, not all collaborations are made equal. The exam prep world has a new collaboration to share, specifically for aspiring certified internal auditors.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Introducing: <em>Becker-The IIA CIA Exam Review<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The brainchild of Becker, one of the top exam review course providers in the world, and the Institute of Internal Auditors, the creators and administrators of the CIA exam, got together and created the prep course to end all CIA prep courses.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But will this collaboration change the game or fail to take off? In this guide, I&#8217;ll share all of the need-to-know details with you to help you make a choice. By the end of this review, you can decide whether this collaboration is a match made in heaven or a doomed duo.<\/p> <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading custom_key\" id=\"h-is-becker-cia-review-right-for-you\"><strong>Is Becker CIA Review Right for You?<\/strong><\/h2> <ul class=\"wp-block-list custom_underline\"> <li><strong>If you want the most exam-authentic practice questions,<\/strong> then Becker\u2019s IIA-backed course ensures you\u2019re studying with questions that closely mirror the real exam.<\/li> <li><strong>If you need long-term access,<\/strong> then Becker\u2019s 24-month enrollment period gives you more study time than competitors like Surgent and PRC, which offer only 18 months.<\/li> <li><strong>If you value strong student support,<\/strong> then Becker\u2019s unlimited academic and technical assistance, plus its private CIA Facebook group, will keep you from feeling stuck or isolated.<\/li> <li><strong>If you want structured, data-driven learning,<\/strong> then Becker\u2019s Adapt2U Technology personalizes your study plan, helping you focus on the areas where you need the most improvement.<\/li> <li><strong>If you prefer a course with established student reviews,<\/strong> then Becker might not be the best fit yet, as it&#8217;s brand new and doesn\u2019t have long-term success data from past users.<\/li> <\/ul> <div class=\"ub_review_block wp-block-ub-review\" id=\"ub_review_078003a0-ae29-4a40-9d2f-13e6c8a83d75\"><p class=\"ub_review_item_name\" style=\"font-size: 28px; text-align: left;

class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-becker-the-exam-prep-powerhouse\"><strong>Becker: The Exam Prep Powerhouse<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;ve read any of my articles, you know I&#8217;m a big fan of Becker. I consider them to be the best exam prep provider in the industry, and that isn&#8217;t a polarizing take. Many consider them to be the &#8220;gold standard&#8221; for the CPA, CMA, and EA exams.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where&#8217;s the proof? Just take a look at some of these statistics:<\/p> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>60+ Years in Business and Nearly 2 Million Students Served<\/li> <li>4.6-Star Average Rating on Trustpilot<\/li> <li>Student Pass Rates Frequently in the 90% or Over Range<\/li> <li>90% of Elijah Watts Sells Award Winners Studied with Becker, a Fact Since 2007<\/li> <li>Partnerships with 2,900 Organizations and the Top 100 Accounting Firms<\/li> <\/ul> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Exam prep powerhouse sounds like hyperbole, I know, but there&#8217;s no better descriptor for a company with statistics like these. Now, let&#8217;s talk about their newest partner, the IIA.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-iia-the-organization-behind-the-cia-exam\"><strong>The IIA: The Organization Behind the CIA Exam<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Institute of Internal Auditors boasts over a quarter of a million members across the globe. They launched the CIA exam in 1974, single-handedly creating the only globally recognized certification for internal auditors. Recently, the organization celebrated the exam&#8217;s 50th anniversary.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the more things change, the more they stay the same. The IIA recognizes the ever-evolving internal audit profession requires a certification that keeps the pace, and created a plan for an updated CIA exam.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Updates to the CIA Exam Syllabus are intended to:<\/p> <ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Modernize the exams for the current internal auditing landscape<\/li> <li>Align the CIA Syllabi with the IIA Global Internal Audit Standards<\/li> <li>Minimize Redundancy Among Exam Sections and Subjects<\/li> <li>Better Clarify the Abilities, Knowledge, and Skills Candidates Need to Pass<\/li> <\/ul> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-course-options\"><strong>Course Options<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Becker\u2019s CIA Exam Review is available in three tiers: Essentials, Premium, and Pro. Each builds on the last, starting with a strong self-study foundation that includes adaptive practice tools and digital textbooks. Premium adds extra support like printed books and a pass guarantee, while Pro takes it a step further with live virtual classes. No matter which you choose, all packages are designed in partnership with The IIA and align with the updated exam format.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Becker recently added an excellent review course for the CIA Challenge Exam as well ( a one-part exam that caters to candidates who already hold a CA, CPA, or CISA). For a lower price than the other packages, candidates still receive digital flashcards and textbooks in addition to lessons focusing on the challenge exam subjects.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-s-in-it-for-me\"><strong>What&#8217;s in It for Me?<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scrolled down to get the good stuff? I totally get it. Here&#8217;s the impact of having these two organizations collaborate on a prep course and how this partnership can give you a better chance of passing the exam:<\/p> <ul style=\"padding-left: 1.6em;text-align: left;--ub-list-item-icon-top: 3px;--ub-list-item-icon-size: 1.4em;);--ub-list-item-fa-li-top: 3px;--ub-list-item-spacing: 0px;column-count: 1;--ub-list-mobile-column-count: 1\" class=\"wp-block-ub-styled-list ub_styled_list\" id=\"ub_styled_list-ae4c9400-f492-47f4-8a87-3514fb2da523\"> <li class=\"ub_styled_list_item\" style=\"--ub-list-item-icon-top: 3px; --ub-list-item-icon-size: 1.4em; --ub-list-item-background-image: url('data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,&lt;svg xmlns=&quot;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&quot; viewBox=&quot;0 0 512 512&quot;&gt;&lt;path fill=&quot;%2300d084&quot; d=&quot;M256 512c141.4 0 256-114.6 256-256S397.4 0 256 0S0 114.6 0 256S114.6 512 256 512zM369 209L241 337c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-64-64c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9s24.6-9.4 33.9 0l47 47L335 175c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0s9.4 24.6 0 33.9z&quot;&gt;&lt;\/path&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;'); \" id=\"ub-styled-list-item-cf4bb8d6-20b7-427e-89b9-a1093bd5ab89\"> <div class=\"ub_list_item_content\"> <span class=\"ub_list_item_icon\"> <svg width=\"1.4em\" height=\"1.4em\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path fill=\"#00d084\" d=\"M256 512c141.4 0 256-114.6 256-256S397.4 0 256 0S0 114.6 0 256S114.6 512 256 512zM369 209L241 337c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-64-64c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9s24.6-9.4 33.9 0l47 47L335 175c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0s9.4 24.6 0 33.9z\"><\/path><\/svg> <\/span> <span class=\"ub_list_item_text\"><strong>Incomparable Practice Questions:<\/strong> Practice makes perfect, and when your practice questions are co-written by the best exam prep provider and the creators of your exam, you know you&#8217;re studying with the most accurate, exam-authentic material available.<\/span> <\/div> <\/li> <li class=\"ub_styled_list_item\" style=\"--ub-list-item-icon-top: 3px; --ub-list-item-icon-size: 1.4em; --ub-list-item-background-image: url('data:image\/svg+xml;utf8,&lt;svg xmlns=&quot;http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg&quot; viewBox=&quot;0 0 512 512&quot;&gt;&lt;path fill=&quot;%2300d084&quot; d=&quot;M256 512c141.4 0 256-114.6 256-256S397.4 0 256 0S0 114.6 0 256S114.6 512 256 512zM369 209L241 337c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-64-64c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9s24.6-9.4 33.9 0l47 47L335 175c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0s9.4 24.6 0 33.9z&quot;&gt;&lt;\/path&gt;&lt;\/svg&gt;'); \" id=\"ub-styled-list-item-b81a9c90-6358-427c-82e9-e15f02b0ee0a\"> <div class=\"ub_list_item_content\"> <span class=\"ub_list_item_icon\"> <svg width=\"1.4em\" height=\"1.4em\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path fill=\"#00d084\" d=\"M256 512c141.4 0 256-114.6 256-256S397.4 0 256 0S0 114.6 0 256S114.6 512 256 512zM369 209L241 337c-9.4 9.4-24.6 9.4-33.9 0l-64-64c-9.4-9.4-9.4-24.6 0-33.9s24.6-9.4 33.9 0l47 47L335 175c9.4-9.4 24.6-9.4 33.9 0s9.4 24.6 0 33.9z\"><\/path><\/svg> <\/span> <span class=\"ub_list_item_text\"><strong>Built Around the Exam Syllabus:<\/strong> This course is built around the exact specifications of the CIA Exam Syllabus.

This is made particularly clear when you take a look at the practice materials in the <em>Becker-The IIA CIA Exam Review<\/em> course.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udcda 2,000+ Practice Questions (1,000+ More on the Way!)<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udcda Unlimited Practice Exams Driven by Adapt2U Technology<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udcda 6 Full-Length Simulated Mock Exams<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And again, the highlight here is you can expect spot-on practice questions that are eerily similar to those you&#8217;ll find on the actual exam. In fact, it should feel like a deja vu moment because they&#8217;ll be so accurately replicated you&#8217;ll feel like you&#8217;ve seen them before.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a phenomenal way to boost your odds of success on exam day. You&#8217;ll build familiarity, time management skills, and above all else? Unshakeable confidence in your abilities.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Newt\u2122 AI Assistant<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newt\u2122 is Becker\u2019s AI exam review assistant, and I\u2019ll admit, I expected it to feel gimmicky. Thankfully, I was wrong. It was one of the more useful support tools I tested because it gave me a way to ask questions right when confusion popped up.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What makes Newt\u2122 different from a random AI chatbot is that it\u2019s built around Becker\u2019s exam content. I could use it to revisit a tricky concept, get a missed question broken down, or ask for a clearer explanation without wandering off into Google or hoping a forum thread had the right answer. It also shows up throughout the study experience, including course materials, practice review, and the mobile app, so it felt less like a bonus feature and more like part of the actual learning process.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-adapt2u-technology\"><strong>Adapt2U Technology<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may have noticed that Adapt2U Technology drives Becker&#8217;s practice exams, but what does that actually mean? Well, I&#8217;m thrilled you asked because it&#8217;s one of the major highlights of Becker&#8217;s comprehensive resources.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Long story short, Adapt2U tech tracks the topics where you struggle more than others. You can switch your practice exams from random to Adapt2U if you want a challenge. Tackling the questions you&#8217;re not naturally gifted in can help you strengthen your weaknesses and earn more points on exam day.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One student has an excellent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/CPA\/comments\/12zbcf2\/becker_adapt2u_or_randomized_mcqs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">strategy<\/a> to make the most of your practice exams:<\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-small-font-size\"><blockquote><p><strong><em>&#8220;Definitely do randomized first to get a good bank of questions you struggle with, then switch to Adapt2U near the end of your studies. It\u2019ll give you a more accurate picture of your weak areas.&#8221;<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-student-support\"><strong>Student Support<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;ve taken a college final, then you know the impact studying for a massive exam can have on your social life. And honestly, it can feel pretty<a href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/monitor\/2019\/05\/ce-corner-isolation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> isolating<\/a>. For some, this can even negatively impact their mental health, leading to underperformance on the exam.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Becker wants to put a stop to it. No, they can&#8217;t force your friends to bring you pizza and get you to touch grass (though that isn&#8217;t a terrible feature idea). What they can do is offer unlimited academic and technical support. If you ever have a question, whether it&#8217;s about changing your password or the intricacies of organizational governance, Becker&#8217;s got your back.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plus, you already know how Becker feels about collaboration. Now, you can connect and collaborate with your peers in the Becker CIA Facebook Group. Get your questions answered, help other students, and even create virtual study groups to minimize that feeling of isolation. If you&#8217;re an extrovert trying to navigate the introverted tendencies of exam prep, <em>Becker-The IIA CIA Exam Review <\/em>is a brilliant choice.<\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pricing-and-value\"><strong>Pricing and Value<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The course sounds excellent so far, but how much does it cost? Is that normal compared to other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charlotteobserver.com\/careers-education\/best-cia-review-courses\/\">CIA exam review courses<\/a>? And above all else, is it worth your hard-earned money?<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to evaluate a course&#8217;s value is through comparison. Let&#8217;s look at Becker&#8217;s pricing side-by-side with some of their competitors:<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can see that Becker is right in the middle: more expensive than Surgent and PRC but significantly less costly than Gleim.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s what those prices don&#8217;t tell you: Surgent and PRC offer 18-month access, compared to Becker&#8217;s 24 months. Further, you&#8217;d get one simulated exam max compared to Becker&#8217;s <em>six<\/em>. Finally, and here&#8217;s the most important consideration: Becker is the only provider of this list to have a course created, in part, by the governing body of the CIA exam.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bottom line? Becker&#8217;s pricing is inarguably the best when you add value to the equation.<\/p> <h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-becker-cia-review-discount\"><strong>Becker CIA Review Discount<\/strong><\/h2> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Looking to get the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.charlotteobserver.com\/careers-education\/cia-course-discounts\/\">discount on CIA courses<\/a>? <a class=\"cs_botton dinesh1 renew csbutton-8186 cs_main_page_ajax\" data-ajax-code=\"8186\" thehref=\"?cc=8186\" data-affiliate=\"https:\/\/www.charlotteobserver.com\/careers-education\/recommends\/becker\/becker-cia\/\" data-code=\"\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored\" style=\"color:; text-decoration:none\">Save $320<\/a> with our exclusive Becker CIA coupon.
