[Q]

Hi guys,

To those who took BEC exam in 4th quarter, please share your experience. It was hard? How’s the MCQ, TBS, and WC?

Lol I dont read each thread, only the ones that I feel I can offer advice on. I'm bored, dont start work for 2 more weeks so coming on here helps pass the time. My guess is in 2-3 weeks I wont be on here anymore, which maybe will make some indivduals happy haha No I'm not the thread police, just let people know when they're disregarding the rules – it happens a lot. Ultimately it's up to Jeff and his team to decide if they're in violation but they do a great job at making edits to peoples posts. No raise or promotion as I haven't started work yet but will get a $3000 bonus next month.
Btw – I was on my school's accounting club board and I helped lots of people get approved to sit and provided advice for studying/passing the exam and coming on here is really an extension of that. Apparently some dont like me here because I let people know when they've disclosed too much info but they'll only have to deal with me a little longer 🙂

@superdude ,noway I don't like you.I believe you have passed the exam and can contribute much better and people like you are the asset for this forum.You feel it's violation is happening more now and I feel even exam exp posting is getting lesser each day.I am unfortunately long timer here due to FAR and can say earlier people used to share more their exam experiences and also more people used to visit those threads to read.It used to be very valuable.Sometimes (rarely )some people used to go SIM wise and saying okay SIM number 1 I had problem on lease and so on.Okay disclaimer here no SIM was on lease ,just I made up.Some people listed all SIMs like that and sure people started saying to edit and I believe that makes perfect sense but let us say someone said I prepared Consolidation very well but there were not a single MCQ on Consolidation and just one MCQ on Bond . What was the question ? He has not mentioned .Second , will I stop reading consolidation ,bond and lease just because this guy has said he didn't get it ? That's my view and I can tell you AICPA has many sets of questions in one window (going by their podcast ) and also how you performed in testlet one will bring the sets of questions in testlet 2. For me I am not looking for a hint that should I read X or Y because he said so.Becker's Peter Olinto says if you can't skip any topic and I will not.Now what people should post and what not is a common sense thing.It's okay to suggest people to delete the post but please let me read that post first and then I will scream too.LOL
SuperDude you are encouraged to be here and contribute.

@Shawn in VA , as you have taken BEC in old as well as new format ,can you tell how difficulty level of IT is in new format.Curious as lot of folks said here that it's not in any review materials.

Worrying about other people's exam experiences is pretty silly. People would be better off focusing on improving the quality and efficiency of their studying. There is a lot of valuable information on this website that can be used to help build a great study plan.

Don't go anywhere Superdude! We do need people who passed here. We all say too much or too little sometimes, here or in personal life. And there is always going to be someone who gets annoyed. For instance, I rather annoy you guys here than my husband lol

You scare me, frustrate me, and annoy… However, I keep coming on this Forum because sometimes I need a break and it helps me to be positive.

I will share my experience after my exam in December. We can have a general “conversation” like during our courses, but we don't say the specifics. I read last September when people said, “I had 25 questions from IT” So what? The person did not tell anything specific. IT is a very wide and open topic… Did I get scared? Yes, but I know I have to study if I want to pass.

Good luck everyone! Time to go back to my studying!
