We are in the same boat – taking 2017 Q4 BEC.
Just to give you a little background, I haven't (really) studied BEC since 2011, with a 63% mark.
Recently, I took 2017 BEC Q1 (NTS expiring)-studied for 2 days, and took 2017 BEC Q3 (just to test drive the new format), studied a day or two. Serious. Both attempts landed me around 50s. It's expected, so no complaint.
For the 2017 BEC Q4, if tomorrow is my exam, I would:
– Visit the AICPA website. Try its Sample Test.
– Do a few recent MCQs, preferably AICPA newly (2015/2016) released exams.
– Make sure to be comfortable with the calculation format, topics that are oftenly tested.
– Comfortable with Cost accounting – variance analysis calculation
– Make an outline for all possible Writing Skills topics. Also, have a ready writing template in mind.
– Read the appendix/glossary of BEC textbook/MIS textbook/business computers textbook for IT terms.
– Get used to the ‘Research' app.
– Re-read the Corporate Governance topic.
– To get the feeling, if I am ready for the exam, I will read my notes/textbook outline briefly, see if I missed something and work with my weak ones.
– During the exam, stick with this max. time allocation: 50-50-25-55-60.
I still got 8-9 weeks to (really) study for my coming FAR/REG/BEC exams.
Good luck
