Becker CPA Review Simulation Workshop

bap_new_white3

When: Tuesday, May 26 @ 4:30pm
Where: Pearlstein 207

This workshop will be unlike any CPA workshop in the past.  Students will have the opportunity to use Becker’s simulation and get used to the look and feel of the website.

This simulation workshop will allow students to work hands on with Becker’s software. The information session on is Becker simulation class that is geared to expose students to the technology hurdle of taking the exam.  The functionality of various features have often stumbled students.  Each student is equipped with the use of a jump or flash drive, which will have a simulation that Becker’s instructor will walk them through. Students will receive “hands on experience” in reading requirements, answering the questions and functionally posting answers.  We walk through the research features with key word indicators to give a broader knowledge of which word combination will help achieve successful answers.  We also give students time to venture through the simulation on their own, so that they might ask questions on areas of concern.

This event is sponsored by Beta Alpha Psi.
