What Candidates Have to Say about Efficient Learning vs. Becker
“After overpaying for Becker, failing REG 3 times, and then Becker expiring, I switched to Efficient Learning. It worked better for me in every way: more affordable, no expiration, bite-sized lessons that kept my attention. Most importantly, I successfully passed all three sections that I studied for using Efficient Learning on my first try.”
“Becker gave me the bare minimum of what I needed to know. You needed to understand and know exactly what they were saying because if you didn’t retain 100% of what they were teaching you, you weren’t going to absorb it. But Efficient Learning broke things down to such a granular level that I felt like I was able to comprehend everything that was being taught. This course taught me more than I needed, which gave me a lot more confidence going into the exams.”
“I used Efficient Learning exclusively to study for FAR. I ended up scoring very well on that one, a 95. But because I also had access to Becker, I mixed and matched my approach from there.”
“Becker didn’t work for me at all. I failed two exams before making the switch. I landed on Efficient Learning because of the program that my company offered. The main difference for me was that this course went way more into detail on important things and the content broke things down into a more granular level than Becker’s did.”
