Becker boasts a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.becker.com\/cpa-review\/proven-success\">94%<\/a> pass rate\u2014currently, that&#8217;s the highest in the industry, matched only with UWorld.

Becker&#8217;s methodology. Some courses want you to pass as quickly as possible, while others want to load on the material and have you cover every topic, subtopic, and subtopic of that subtopic. Becker is the latter, which led to their track record with the Elijah Watt Sells Award, an honor given to students who pass every section of the CPA exam on their first try with a cumulative average score of 95.50 or higher. Becker has produced 90% of EWS winners since 2007. So, whether smart people choose Becker, Becker churns out outstanding students, or both, it&#8217;s inarguable that Becker works well for ambitious students who thrive in a structured environment.<\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-small-font-size\"><blockquote><p><em>\u201cI tested them all out using free trials, and I found <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/CPA\/comments\/1ffqwev\/comment\/lmxjqz8\/?utm_source=share&amp;utm_medium=web3x&amp;utm_name=web3xcss&amp;utm_term=1&amp;utm_content=share_button\"><em>Becker<\/em><\/a><em> to be the best.

id=\"h-becker-vs-surgent-cpa-the-details\"><strong>Becker vs. Surgent CPA: The Details<\/strong><\/h2> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-course-content-and-structure\"><strong>Course Content and Structure<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Becker&#8217;s structure centers around printed and digital textbooks, 900+ bite-sized video lectures, and 8,500+ practice questions. However, one of Becker&#8217;s biggest draws for CPA aspirants is their LiveOnline Virtual Classroom, where students can access 2-hour-long classes taught in real-time. This enabled me to interact with my instructors, testing their willingness to help by asking questions on the subject material.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> It can vary by instructor, but for the most part, the teachers were patient, personable, and engaging, offering a lot of metaphors, analogies, and mnemonics to help students stay engaged and remember what we learned that day. Plus, I appreciated the wide variety of times offered, allowing me to join as early as 10 AM or as late as 7 PM.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Surgent is more focused on reading textbooks and grinding through their 9,500+ practice questions, with another 1,000+ MCQs available in the Ultimate Pass&#8217;s integrated test bank. They do have video lectures, but from my experience, they aren&#8217;t very good. More on that later. <\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The point is, Surgent&#8217;s self-paced, on-demand structure is a better fit for reading-driven learners who prefer the freedom of a more flexible approach, particularly if they prefer grinding through a large number of practice questions.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2b50 <strong>Winner: Becker<\/strong><\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mobile-apps\"><strong>Mobile Apps<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Becker&#8217;s study companion app is, in my opinion, one of the strongest features of their CPA prep courses. On both Android and Apple app stores, the study app boasts a 4.8-star average review across over 13,000 total reviews. <\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And honestly, I really loved the app. It was smooth, easy to use, and quick to load. Where some study apps don&#8217;t give you much to work with, Becker gives you 250+ hours of video\/audio lectures, 7,400+ practice questions, 1,250+ digital flashcards, practice exams, and an interactive study planner. It&#8217;s perfect for learning on the go, because while a mobile-optimized website is nice, there&#8217;s nothing like having your resources in a more efficient, interactive format.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Surgent also features mobile apps, but students have criticized them for not being as comprehensive as they were hoping. Plus, students have reported bugs like videos crashing and the inability to log in. So, while it&#8217;s nice they have an app, I wouldn&#8217;t consider it a selling point of the course\u2014though other features certainly are, this isn&#8217;t one of them. I had a similarly frustrating experience, and the randomness of the videos and the app\u2019s overall technological instability made it more effort than it was worth.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.surgent.studycompanion&amp;hl=en_US\"> review<\/a> of Surgent Study Companion reads:<\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote has-small-font-size\"><blockquote><p><em>&#8220;It only offers you the ability to see flash cards, lectures, and definitions and doesn&#8217;t let you work MCQs or see any detail on progress at a section level, only at the overall exam level.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2b50 <strong>Winner: Becker<\/strong><\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-video-lectures\"><strong>Video Lectures<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Becker is the king of video lectures. They&#8217;re short, usually fewer than 10 minutes long, and surprisingly enjoyable. You&#8217;re getting GIFs, graphs, images, metaphors, analogies, and ways to remember what you&#8217;ve learned, all taught by instructors with energy and a sense of humor. I really enjoyed watching them, and never felt like I needed a break because it was getting too tedious and boring.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Surgent&#8217;s videos are not good. They&#8217;re relatively dry, and in many videos, the slides have a smaller window in the corner while the talking head video is the bigger background video. It just doesn&#8217;t make sense, especially for avid note-takers like myself. I feel awful saying it, because to be clear, they do a LOT right, and it seems like I&#8217;m ripping on them. <\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, you have to remember that you pay for what you get. Surgent is the most affordable CPA provider of the &#8220;top dog&#8221; prep companies, and you&#8217;re getting stellar practice questions, great written materials, unlimited access until you pass, and a pass guarantee. But, at least at this point in time, you&#8217;re not getting good videos.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2b50 <strong>Winner: Becker<\/strong><\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-guarantees-access-and-value\"><strong>Guarantees, Access, and Value<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Becker offers a 100% money-back guarantee, but it&#8217;s only for the Concierge package. In their Pro package, they provide up to $250 per exam failed, for a possible total of $1,000 max. Further, they feature unlimited access for three of their four courses, and 24 months for their cheapest course.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, Surgent offers a 100% money-back guarantee and unlimited course access until you pass for all three of their courses. I don&#8217;t know any other provider who does this, and it&#8217;s incredible. Seriously, if you want value, Surgent has your back.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2b50 <strong>Winner: Surgent<\/strong><\/p> <h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-student-support\"><strong>Student Support<\/strong><\/h3> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Becker offers unmatched support in their Concierge package, with up to 25 success coaching sessions, 25 1:1 tutoring sessions, and live online or in-person Dallas-based classes. However, even the Pro package, which is frequently on sale for just under $2,500, offers 5 coaching sessions and 5 tutoring sessions while still offering both live and in-person class options. That&#8217;s an outstanding price for that much comprehensive support, and I&#8217;ve found the customer service team to be quick and eager to help.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Newt\u2122 is also worth taking a look at when we&#8217;re talking about support, because although it&#8217;s an AI tech tool akin to ChatGPT for exam review, it feels like having an instructor at your fingertips to further explain concepts to you\u2014except the replies are instant, regardless of what time it is. It&#8217;s integrated within the materials, so you can even ask about page numbers, lecture slides, or specific video lessons, and your chat history is preserved. <\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, Surgent offers some great support options, too, which is rare in a budget-friendly option. The Ultimate and Premier Passes feature 1-on-1 coaching sessions with a CPA study strategist, and your 48-hour customer service window goes down to just 24 hours with the Ultimate Pass. From my experience, Surgent&#8217;s customer service team is really that fast, and, like Becker, they really want to help.<\/p> <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>\u2b50 Winner:
