I purchsed Yaeger Homestudy in 2008 and passed BEC. I wish to know whether there are substantial changes in content of the other 3 exams i.e. REG AUD and FAR as I intend taking these in April/May 2010. Any help will be greatly apreciated. Thanks. Va Nam

Va Nam, If it were BEC you still had left, I would say to use the 2008 material for BEC. However, for AUD, REG, and FAR - I wouldn't feel comfortable using 2008 material that was written in 2007 for a 2010 exam. I highly advise you to get new HomeStudy editions. This is what I would do in your situation. -Jeff
