I took Becker Final Exam#1 today and the the following is my result….

# of Questions # Correct % Correct

Testlet #2 – M/C Questions 30 26 86

Testlet #3 – M/C Questions 30 28 93

Testlet #4 – Simulation 1

“Government Auditing” Tab 5 3 60

“Research” Tab 1 1 100

What do you think of my possibility of passing the exam??

What I have done so far is solving the MCQ and Sims in Becker once and reading the textbook around 5 times.

Idk what to do from this point….

Need your advice!

My exam date is Nov 20!!!

I am guessing your exam date is wrong and taking it sooner than May. Either way, just keep doing questions and practice tests. Good luck!

AUD - 76 (July 2012)
FAR - 87 (Feb 2013
BEC - April 2013
REG - 81 (August 2012)

Thanks Mrschach.

My fault…. it should have been “Nov” instead

sorry for the typo

Damn, you clearly know the material. I got in the low 70's on both the becker exams for audit and got a 82. I think you are more than ready but since your exam date is still along ways away just keep doing as many MC questions as possible and read the book 5 more times. I think you might have schedule your exam a little too far out if you already know the material that well.

AUD - 08/20/12 - 82
REG - 10/30/12 - 82
FAR - 01/05/13 - 80
BEC - 04/15/13 - 84

Thanks for your comment.

82 is quite a good score! I'm impressed!

I'm glad to hear you think I'm in a good condition/well-prepared.

Given your advice, I'll redo the MCQ again and read the book 5 more times.

However, actually compared to FAR and BEC, AUD is hard to understand.

It doesnt really “click,” or maybe rather say the content is sort of vague and thus I cannot make sure if really my understanding is correct…….. Just memorizing all the info in the book……….

Btw, what materials did you use other than Becker Self Study may i ask!?

Wowzers.

You seem to be doing just fine. I recommend as many MCQ's as possible and re-read your weak areas. Not sure reading the the entire book is the most efficient, but if that works for you go for it! Good luck.

Wow, if I was that prepared, I would try to move my exam date up, if I could! I was getting 70-80% on those finals when I did them. I wouldn't want to spend another 3 weeks trying to keep all that information in my brain!

FAR - 92 (4/27/12)
AUD - 96 (7/17/12)
BEC - 92 (8/30/12)
REG - 91 (11/12/12)

I agree with momto5 that you may want to consider moving your exam date up, if possible. It sounds like you're well prepared to nail the exam, and the next month is going to be all about maintaining the knowledge you have. Before I began this process, a CPA friend told me not to give myself TOO much time to study and to plan on studying a maximum of 6 weeks for each exam — I had a couple extra weeks of review time for AUD, and I almost thought this was detrimental. But good luck, you're going to do great!

[futuremdcpa]

Really.. you got 96,86,93 on MCQ and your asking your chances of passing the exam with practice exam scores like those? Like wasting time much?

REG: PASS || BEC: PASS || AUD: PASS || F: SCORE PENDING..

Thanks. I'll redo my MCQs.

Yeah this might be a bit weird studying habit for others but actually this is my style lol

I get really worried about not knowing information which is not in MCQs but in the textbook.

I don't wanna feel like “I should have read the textbook in more detail” or kinda stuff during the exam.

Thanks for your advice!

Hmm yeah that may be a good idea, but since I've already booked a flight for the Protmetric Center(very far from my city) and the itinerary is unchangeable, it is impracticable…

I'll make efforts to keep on being on the right track!

Yeah I think your results are ok, but you should never be satisfied…looks like you're pretty weak in Risk, Tickmarks, and Governmental Auditing. Step your game up in those areas to avoid being bitten in the ass. Just remember that it's only a practice exam…you haven't passed the actual exam yet…keep studying…hit your weak areas and go in with a fresh mind and full knowledge in all areas outlined in the CSOs. Good luck.

[Rjsund]

Thanks for the advice.

Do you think it would be more efficient to just focus on the weak areas or should i take the time to do the second practice final exam?
