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

I have BEC tomorrow afternoon and I am not feeling good about it at all. I took a Becker final review last night….thought I did well….hit end… and got a 67! NOT EVEN CLOSE. These calc questions are getting to me. Does anyone know if there is a curve on BEC?

@Shawna- I know the feeling!

The variances are giving me a very rough time. Anyone have any pointers on the “tabular” method becker uses. I know the PURE DADS variances for the most part, but some problems seem to not use that trick. Becker has a page long diagram that I just do NOT get

AUD 95 (3/5/10); BEC 83 (5/28/10); FAR 71, 72, 74, 82 (10/16/10); REG 65,80(11/23/10)
ALL DONE 🙂

I can't get the PURE DADS thing….it doesn't work for me. The funny part is that I am getting right answers using a different method to do calcs than Becker shows. I think Becker is confusing on most of section 3 and 5. I took another final exam today…70. Let's hope that the real exam is easier. I doubt it but maybe I will get lucky.

Hello Shawna,

Keep in mind that some of the questions on BEC3 and BEC5 come from previous CMA exams with a high degree of difficulty. Also there is a big possibility that the questions on the test will be easier.

Read carefully, stay positive and if you don’t feel good about a question tell yourself “it’s a pretest”.

I wish you good luck on your test tomorrow.

Thank you Ed for the uplifting words! I needed it!

Do you mean the Becker CBT Final Exams? That’s great practice for time management, dealing with the unexpected and getting to know how things work (the calculator, ect).

I wish you good luck on your test today.

[Shawna]

Yes – the Becker final exam. 🙂

Son of a biscuit…

I took BEC today, and I am feeling….numb, to say the least. All the PURE DADS, and one-two- and three-way variances….NOTHING showed up on the test. No equivalent units, no cost of goods manufactured, one question on costs of goods sold, and unfortunately the test focused on the one chapter I had the most trouble with: Chapter 3 (Finance). I memorized about 5 pages of formulas, and three showed up on the test. The three that showed up were not on the list that I memorized. I can honestly say that it could go either way, but I am not feeling very optimistic about this one. Chances are, I may be doing this again in the next testing window (for the third time…) It is out of my hands at this point.

AUD - 89, BEC - 69, 75
REG - 69, 82, FAR - 80 - IT'S OVER!

Every exam is different you should know this by now. Good Luck.

CPA EXAM - Passed
