    Well I took BEC yesterday. It was horrible. I got through all the Becker material, listened to my NINJA audio several times, read through the NINJA notes several times, and did all the WTB questions. After all of that, there was still so much material I felt like I never saw in my studying. Very aggravating. If I pass, it will be a miracle. I know a lot of people have had this same experience. I just don’t understand how so much material can seem so foreign and I still pass.

    FAR: 79 (Becker basic)
    AUD: 68 (Becker basic), 91 (Becker, WTB, NINJA)
    BEC: 64 (blind), 81 (Becker, WTB, NINJA)
    REG: 68 (Becker basic), 73 (Becker, WTB, NINJA), REMATCH 2/27

    I think the Ninja notes were GREAT for BEC. Since the material is so all-over-the-place, notes were especially helpful in reviewing the first stuff you learned along the way and in your final review days/week because it was condensed and concise and helped me remember formulas etc. Also I've only bought the online WTB for one section and it was BEC (after I failed the first time) and the questions are definitely challenging and I think they really helped boost my score. It's sounds like you were fully prepared!

    That being said, BEC is still satan.

    REG - 65, 70, 80!
    BEC - 35, 62, 79!
    AUD - 73, 75!
    FAR - 65, 73, 70, 75! DONE.

    *This is my 2nd attempt at the CPA exam. For all of you who have failed this exam many times, given up on it, or taken a break like me, remember that it is still possible to finish what you started...failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently 🙂

    Yep. I know a lot of people have said Becker's BEC section is the worst of the 4. I think Becker does a good job in the cost accounting portions as well as the Econ chapter. The IT stuff is such a mess.

    Eek, I'm taking it tomorrow. The way I see it, keep calm and carry on. If its out of left field, no test takers are getting the question right…just as long as your getting the other questions right, you'll be in good shape.
