I am taking BEC May 29th. I will start studying once REG is over (tomorrow!). Hope this one isn’t too bad!

Congrats on passing…I missed it by 3pts

Oh and I knew I didn't pass per the loophole. I do think it works. Knowing I didn't pass before seeing the score helped me to not get so upset when I finally saw the score. I was pleased with the score considering I put in 3 weeks of study time. I'm really confident I will pass next time.

Heck yeah the loophole works. It has never been wrong from what I read. It worked on AUD for me, and I made a 76! Barely

Just got out of BEC a couple hours back. Will be posting to other threads/forums. Not near as bad as it could have been. I screwed my time up though. To those who haven't taken yet this month, I would suggest knowing the outline of each chapter, whether Becker or Wiley.

I used Becker and WIley, with Wiley only for IT and variances. Becker was much better for this one, I believe. To me, Becker's software is the bulk of what you are paying for.

BEC was challenging, though. Given the fact that you have ZERO simulations, this is why it's so hard. No gimme points. Let me have two sims with written communication over 90 MC anyday. I am ready to take again if I didn't pass.

I agree, Lee…BEC was my last and it's not one to underestimate.  Still, I had an odd experience with BEC, in comparison to the other exams.

Every exam thus far, the first testlet was medium difficulty, the second was the hardest, and then the third would be in between the first and second.

For BEC I found the same pattern until the third testlet, which was RIDICULOUSLY easy.  I left feeling like I could have gotten each question right.  Hopefully that doesn't mean I bombed testlet 2…I thought I did well overall.

Completely agree with your comment about Becker.  I've used Becker solely for all sections, but I feel they were most on point with BEC.  Many little details they said would be tested, were.  Perhaps it was just the nature of my questions.  My one gripe is I thought the IT questions on my exam were MUCH easier than Becker…I wasted a lot of unnecessary time studying IT.  I do disagree on the simulations comment, however.  I was glad to not have any :).  Let my wait begin.

AUD - 94 (08-26-09); FAR - 96 (11-7-09)
REG - 93 (05-04-10); BEC - 86 (05-25-10)

From what I understand BEC is not adaptive so your 3rd testlet being easy shouldn't be an issue.

[Shawna]

I have heard the same thing; that BEC is not adaptive.
