My experience.

1 testlet – not too bad 7 MCQs marked
2 testlet – not too bad 5 MCQs marked
3 testlet – feel good
4 testlet – extremely difficult (I have no idea how it is possible to answer within 4 hours limit, very difficult computations and I can’t find the answers in my material and the internet).
5 testlet – I had 20 minutes left, because of 4 testlet and 2 of my WC had computations, so I just rewrote what they asked me. (using a proper format with introduction, body and conclusion)

How many pretest SIM do we have in BEC?

I don’t think I passed… I’ll post my score next week.

Multiple Choice Questions – These are one sentence to paragraph length questions with four potential answers. Of the total 62 MCQs on the BEC Exam, 12 are pretest questions and do not count toward a candidate’s score.

Task-Based Simulations – These are practical questions requiring candidates to type in answers, and may include a research question, journal entries, ratio calculations, or cost accounting questions. Of the 4 task-based simulations, one is a pretest question and does not count toward a candidate’s score.

Written Communication Tasks – Clearly and effectively communicating information is essential in the business environment, and these are questions that test a candidate’s ability to communicate through writing. Unlike task-based simulations, written communication tasks require candidates to give a written response to a question; this might be in the form of a memo directed at a specific audience. Of the three written communication tasks, one is pretest.

1 pre-test sim, 1 pre-test written communication. You sound like you did fine. 1 of those SIMS in your 4th testlet was probably the pre-test. Written communication does not even need to be correct as long as you put in key-words/re-state the questions with proper format.

@Andrea maybe you and I had the same question on 4th testlet. I hope it was really a pretest.

FAR: 74, 80
