Hello all,

I’ve been using this forum for a year and a half now throughout my CPA journey. As I greatly appreciate all of the support and feedback all of you have brought me, I really do not want to log on to this forum again night after night trying to get a read on how these exams operate.
On June 22nd, I took BEC for the first time. I knew the Becker book inside and out, my usual preparation for these exams. I also drilled 500 multiple choice during my 5 day review period while reading the book as well. So here is how my test experience went:

1st Teslet: Didn’t seem bad I flagged like 3 or 4 that I thought could go either way

2nd Teslet: I flagged like maybe 12 out of the 31 in that teslet and I wasn’t happy about it at all. If I don’t make the 75 on this attempt I’ll probably just get Ninja and hammer IT.

3rd Teslet: One simulation didn’t count I know for a fact because it was so bizarre that if the AICPA counted it I would lose faith in America. The second simulation was tough but fair I hopefully picked up some points but might not have picked up any not really sure.

4th Teslet: One sim I got completely right. Second sim wasn’t bad I think I picked up some points for sure

5th Teslet: Writing was fine I finished thankfully.

Let me know what you guys think and my odds, even though no one really knows what is truly going to happen. Thanks.

I think we had the same exam with IT and COSO being heavily tested. The 2nd SIM in Testlet 3 was also very hard which I thought it would not count towards the grade as well. I think you have done well based on what you wrote above so hopefully we both will pass

Good to know, good luck to both of us.

To me, it sounds like you did just fine. Remember that you have a 25% chance of guessing correctly on a multiple choice question. Of those 16 you think you may have missed, you probably scored better than you think just by using process of elimination.
