How’d it go?

I got a BEC exam in tree weeks… my studying is crap and I don’t see any habits changing soon. Should I just not sleep at all.. and just study my cheeks off?. Btw, I barely get 5-6 hours a night either way.

I would say prepare as best as you can. I think everyone who takes the exam always feel a little unprepared because of the quantity of the materials, work life, home life, other priorities, etc. But, it's never wise to blow things off. A confidence on each module is needed. A firm understanding of the materials and lots of practice questions goes a long way. BEC is a fun section, so have some fun with it. If you put in 5 hours or so a day for three weeks (more if you can on the weekends), I think you will be fine. But, be prepared. Don't fall into this “I only have 3 weeks, I will be unprepared” trap.

I have never felt prepared for any of my exams, and I always wish I had given myself more time, but I always figured Id be better off just taking the exam anyway. Honestly I think if I waited until I actually felt “ready” then I never would have ever sat for any of them. You can see by my scores that I barely passed my exams, and very single one I didnt think I had enough time to prepare but just took the exam anyway.

Go for it!!! 🙂

Took most of my exams not completely prepared, and passed. Took BEC very much not prepared (probably studied between 30-50 hours, and had a lot of things going on then so studying was not the greatest quality) and did not pass.

Get some sleep, but your studying should be quality study. Don't let other things distract you…As many people posted already, you can be semi-prepared and still pass.

did most of my prep for AUD in 5 days prior to the exam, prob 25-30 hrs total. got an 85.

(additional disclosure: took an auditing course a year or so ago and a forensic accounting course [many similar topics/thinking skills] spring semester of this year)

@ ROACH, Bust your @ss for three weeks so that you can put BEC behind you. You'll look back and be glad you did it.

I want to bump this up. Taking BEC on the 29th.. I was feeling good about the material up until a couple of days ago when I went through it again.. can't believe how much I've forgotten in a short about of time.

Gearing up with a lot of caffeine pills and redbull this weekend. Wish me luck yall its been a long journey so far for my first exam.
