If you’re exploring the CPA career path, you’re likely looking into different resources for CPA Exam Review. As the most trusted CPA Exam Review provider, Becker’s ultimate goal is to help students pass the CPA Exam with flying colors - or, to get Exam Day ReadySM. We’re constantly innovating our CPA Exam Review course to more effectively deliver content and improve our students’ study experience, and we’ve recently added additional tools and features in our CPA course to prepare our students even better for the exam.
These new changes aim to get students even closer to being Exam Day ReadySM*, Becker’s exclusive threshold for CPA Exam success. But, first - what is Exam Day ReadySM? And, how can students who prepare with Becker become Exam Day ReadySM?
What is Exam Day ReadySM?
With Becker CPA Exam Review, candidates get high quality lecture content, instruction, and practice questions, all designed to help them understand and apply the concepts outlined in the CPA Exam Blueprint. Students who follow Becker curriculum for each CPA Exam section by completing at least 80% of lecture videos, answering at least 80% of practice questions correctly, and scoring at least 50% on mini and simulated exams are deemed Exam Day ReadySM.

Completing this criteria proves that you've spent the time and invested the study necessary to understand tough exam concepts. Let's look closer at each component on the Exam Day ReadySM criteria to understand why it forms the benchmark to exam preparation:
- Lectures + practice questions: Our lectures are taught by engaging and experienced CPA industry veterans, and challenging practice questions help reinforce materials covered in lectures.
- Exam scores: Mini and simulated exams allow students to frequently test their knowledge, reinforce what they already know, and get comfortable in exam-like conditions.
Because Becker’s Exam Day ReadySM methodology has been so successful, Becker incorporates several tools to smoothly guide students through their study experience and achieve Exam Day ReadySM status.
Tools that help you get Exam Day ReadySM
Clear performance tracking
Our course design lets you easily see how your performance tracks towards the goal of becoming Exam Day ReadySM. On both the homepage and unit pages across the module, unit, and section levels, you can see percentage progress and gauge preparedness on different sections. It’s easy to see your progress and set milestone goals.
Customized dashboard
Each section homepage updates with your progress, showing you a personalized overview of your assignments, performance statistics, and additional resources.
Personalized study planner
Stay on track and moving towards your Exam Day ReadySM goal by knowing exactly what to study, when. You can set up your custom study planner at the start of your exam review by inputting how many hours per week you plan to study and the date you'll sit for the exam. The study planner will do the rest, guiding your progress to ensure that you're Exam Day ReadySM when you need to be.
Mini Exams
Mini Exams give you the exam experience earlier in the studying process. These exams let you test your knowledge more frequently during your study journey, in a real exam-like environment, on a smaller scale than our Simulated Exams. They take less than two hours to complete and serve as knowledge checkpoints to gauge your understanding as you progress through the review course.
Final Review Simulated Exam
Simulated Exams are critical to living the complete exam-taking experience before it really counts. Becker's simulated exams emulate the real exam in structure, question composition, and content, so you can test your readiness as well as get a feel for the exam-taking process. Once you are comfortable with how to answer the questions and how to manage your time, it's exponentially easier to focus during the real exam on answering the questions to the best of your ability.
Unlimited Practice Tests
Unlimited Practice Tests are fully customizable and allow students to select the information they want to practice, the type and number of questions included , and the modules, units, or sections covered on each test. Students can also choose to have test questions adapted according to their personal studying performance with Becker’s Adapt2U technology .
NewtTM AI assistant
NewtTM is Becker's AI study assistant included in all exam review packages, leveraging AI technology and our reliable curriculum to provide students with instant, accurate answers to their questions during exam review. Whether you need an example, a different way of framing a tough concept, or you have a question or follow-up question, you can ask NewtTM and receive answers in seconds, so your study (and motivation!) never slows down.
Exam Day ReadySM students achieve 63% higher pass rates
We get it: achieving Exam Day ReadyTM status requires that you invest time and energy in your study program. So is it worth it? In short, yes. But let's look at the numbers, because the proof is in the pudding.
The CPA Exam pass rate historically hovers around just 50%, proving that it's not an easy test to pass. But when you prepare with Becker, you can beat the odds. In 2024, Exam Day ReadyTM students achieved 63% higher CPA Exam pass rates than all other exam takers.
This means that Exam Day ReadyTM students are better prepared to pass the CPA Exam and that, by getting Exam Day ReadyTM, you significantly increase your chances of passing the CPA Exam.
