I have been studying my tail off for BEC using Becker 2010, and I have nailed down the first 4 sections (IT, Business structure, econ, & finance). I get to cost accounting and I am struggling hardcore to get this section. I am very prepared for the first four sections of this exam, but just got very discouraged when i reached this section. Has anyone else hit this wall?? My test is on 8/30, next Monday, so I have time to get ready. I just wonder how much from the cost accounting section is actually on the test. I am getting 80’s, 90’s’ & 100’s consistently when I do quizzes on the other sections. I am just curious how much work I need to put into cost accounting?

AUD (7/23) 77

BEC (8/30) ??

FAR (10/5)

REG (10/?)

B5 is heavy tested, makes up a good % of pts. Well what review are you using? I started with Becker and just like you did not get cost accounting, even hit my college textbooks, didnt help much. I found one of the cost acct videos on Club 75, and they clicked! In other words, find other supplements or co-workers/etc that can help you. I cant say how many problems they will test you, but there are fair amount, but who knows, maybe youll still pass with a strong points on the other sections.

BEC - 73, 73, 79
REG - 72, 75
AUD - 72, 68, 82

Yeah, I am going back through the lectures one by one and attacking this section piecemeal. I looked up the breakdown of the test and cost accounting is 22-28%. I am definitely going to give this section the time that it deserves

so 24 hrs later, I'm still a little flustered with the cost accounting. I would love if they accidentally forgot to put these questions on my exam 🙂 Anybody have any good study tips for cramming these formulas in my brain after i have memorized the other 4 sections?

Rewrite the formulas or make flashcards, only way I shoved them in my brain the night before the exam….

FAR 7/2 - 88
BEC 7/30 - 87
AUD 8/27 - 80
REG 11/12 - 96

motivated- i used flashcards as well as an easeboard. write erase write erase. also i made up my mnemoic for each one and to be honest, the mneomics are kinda dirty so im best not post on here. Just abbreviations, real life scearnios. Anything that works!

@motivated CPA – nice use of the word piecemeal, obviously you have been listening to peter “i once tackled puff daddy” olinto

@ CAcpahopeful – i think hearing your mnemonic would be hilarious, spit it out.

also, how do you make a “signature” for your post?

FAR - 81
BEC - 73, 73, 79
REG - 72, 75
AUD - 72, 68, 82

DONE!!!!

[peter olinto fan]

i figured out the signature

FAR - 81
BEC - 73, 73, 79
REG - 72, 75
AUD - 72, 68, 82

DONE!!!!
