I'm currently using Becker for BEC (I used Becker + Ninja for FAR and AUD). I use Ninja during my review phase for additional MCQs so I don't get too complacent with the Becker questions.

You're correct – BEC is like a mini version of FAR. The Becker BEC textbook may be the thinnest, but it still contains plenty of topics to go over. Although most of these topics are just review for me since I learned them in my undergrad, but still takes time to just review and do MCQs. Not to mention, Becker BEC questions are ridiculously long, and they involve multiple calculations, just like FAR.

It's just part of the process, and trust the process – you'll do fine.

Hi all,

I know Becker provided a link for ERM Framework update but does anyone know when the update will be included in the BEC course? I'm wanting to purchase the updated textbook.

Hey guys! Took BEC yesterday. Freedom is so sweet after the last 9 months! I needed the whole 4 hours, which surprised me (to compare, FAR was a little over 3.5, AUD was 2.0, and REG was 2.5 hours). I think I was a little spacey though, it was a bit warm and the clock seemed to move fast. M/C was roughly 1:15, Testlet 3 was 1:00, Testlet 4 was 0:45, and Testlet 5 was 1:00. Hints: look at all the memo prompts at once. It's the only time I've ever gone out of order, in case I ran out of time. I felt like I did with FAR – easier than I was expecting, no real curve balls other than a few terms that seemed unfamiliar. Also, I'm glad that I once again had paper and pencil (I had it for every exam except AUD). I'm old school, and I filled that bad boy up. Good luck guys!

Awesome Jen! You're giving me motivation…that feeling of being done and actually being done would be glorious!

@kahloon: I'm using Becker only. I was going to supplement but I only have time to get through Becker which is an accomplishment in and of itself. When do you take BEC?

@Jen-J – sounds like your exam went well, and I'm sure you passed. You just got to play the waiting game until the end of June.

@Kahloon – I haven't gotten to the IT portion of Becker yet, but once I do, I plan on supplementing this particular section with Ninja and Gleim. I already have the monthly subscription to Ninja, and I have access to Gleim BEC from last year. Yes – I heard that Becker wasn't enough to get you prepared for the IT portion of the exam, but then again, I've had several my friends using just Becker and passed BEC with ease (90 or above).
