• I have both the Bisk CPA Review and the Becker Final Review. Bisk is far better than Becker. I am sorry that I wasted my money on Becker's Final Review. Bisk is superior in both quantity and quality of instruction.

• I have Bisk and I am very disappointed. First of all there apparently was a problem when they tried to integrate it with VISTA and much of the answers and some questions have words that look like the Russian alphabet. Also you can not split the screen when studying the simulations, which makes it very difficult because you have to keep switching from screen to screen and it takes too much time. I also wish they would give a more thorough explanation of why an answer is correct or incorrect. I had some problems with choosing and anwer and when the grading screen pops up, it says I answered it correctly at the top of the dialog box, but says I have answered it incorretly where the explanation is given. Those are just a few I can think of off the top of my head. I wish I had time to take live courses. I have passed the Audit (I am an internal auditor), failed BEC, and am waiting for results for FAR & REG. This is exam is very frustrating!

• Bisk has good lectures and good books. However, Becker has even better lectures and better books. Becker improved their lectures in recent years by giving a verbal explanation of a few of the homework multiple choice questions.
  
  The opposite is true of the final or intensive review. Bisk is way ahead of Becker. The Bisk intensive review was a tremendous help the week before a CPA exam. Becker’s final review did not help me at all.

• I used Bisk to study for all 4 sections. And I scheduled all the tests within 6 months. The Bisk textbook and software helped TREMENDOUSLY while I was preparing for the tests. I passed BEC, FAR, and AUD the first time. I failed REG, and am about to take it again. That is the only section where I felt that studying the Bisk material by itself was NOT enough to pass the test. There were several heavily covered topics on the exam that were only minimally covered in the Bisk Review. Overall, I would recommend Bisk.... Just make sure you read (from the CPA exam website) the topics that they advise you to study for each seciton.

• I wasted two weeks and $400 on the Bisk “Classic Review.” It was totally worthless! However, I still get stuck on material that I did not have in college. Therefore, I bought Bisk’s hot spots by Bob Monette, and that helps.

• Bisk charges $1,780 for their top of the line review program, CPA Review Classic. My copy of Bisk is sitting on the shelf, gathering dust. I had to buy another review program after I finished only 20% of Bisk.
  
  The Bisk lectures are terrible! The teachers, with the exception of Bob Monette, talk very fast and rush through the material. Bisk does not even go over multiple choice questions in their $1,780 program! I did not learn anything from the Bisk lectures. I have used four CPA review programs and Bisk is the worst!

• Hi Hemant,
  Can you please elaborate more on how Bisk was a good review program?
  Does it provide lecture videos, MCQ's, Simulations,etc.?

• Warning! Dealing with Bisk is like trying to walk through a cold wall of molasses!
  
  As we all know, consolidations in FAR changes in July. I have been asking for an update in the Bisk Hot Spot for Consolidations since April. At first they promised a shipment date in the first week in May, then May 21 and now it is June 10! Bisk is good at making promises, but fails to follow through.
  
  Additionally, this is not my first bad experience with Bisk! I have had worse experiences with Bisk.
