I am reviewing with Becker materials. My BEC exam is Feb 11. I just took my first practice exam and recieved:
Teslet MCQ 1# 71% (17/24)
Teslet MCQ 2# 58% (14/24)
Teslet MCQ 3# 79% (19/24)

The areas I struggled were definitely more problem based so I where to study harder. I know how to the basic problems but then there’s always a twist.

I felt that I killed it on two of the SIMS while completely misinterpreting one of them and answering it much differently than the solution. Overall, not including sims, my score was 69.44% (50/72).

I feel like there’s still so much I do not know, however I don’t think I could learn it all in a week. This is my first CPA exam ever and I am still in college so I was hoping to get some feedback.

Take a deep breath you're going to be okay. I'm assuming you are using Becker. 69% is pretty good for a final exam since those are pretty hard. When I took FAR I got around a 70% on my Final Exam #1 and got a 83 on the actual exam. Those are tough. Feel good about your score.

Here's what I would do. If you aren't burned out go do the AICPA released questions. To find them click “Options” on the online Becker portal. It should be towards the left next to the “My To-Do List” Tab. Do the questions for BEC. These questions should be A LOT easier than the Practice Exam you just took and it will make you feel better/more confident. Then start doing progress tests in sets of 20-30 starting from your weakest chapter and work your way by doing the other chapters or adding in chapters into the set.

After you feel comfortable enough tackle the second final exam. It's probably going to be harder than the first one but don't get discouraged. Just see it as more questions to do that you haven't seen before. Again, you're going to be fine. Just keep going!
