    @gottagetmycpa – thanks. I will probably purchase Wiley and Ninja notes then. And I bet you did better than you think! At least we don't have to wait as long to get our scores!

    I think you have to be extremely cognizant of cross-using review kits (ex: Becker review with Wiley MC Banks), each picks and chooses its topics to be important, so if you study using Becker, and then try to do Wiley, your going to miss a lot of topics Wiley thinks is important but Becker breezes over quickly>> examples I have found so far are: Calculating EVA, Becker tests almost nothing on 4 Variance OH Analysis (?)– do they even test that anymore on BEC other than DM and DL variances? and a lot of heavy investment finance topics like interest rate curves and portfolio covariances, etc (which I saw almost nothing on in Becker).

    God Cost Accounting, Managerial Finance and Capital Budgeting are so boring, lame and horrendously terrible. I can't see how anyone would want to do that for a job. It is the equivalent of spending 12-14 hours a day watching paint dry.

    Yes. I would know all the variances(don't leave any one out!). I spent a lot of time to review the formula and it turned out they saved me!

    Which BEC scores get held back for later release? Is it exams taken late in the window? Is it exams late in the NTS order? Or, is it exams close to the 75%?

    Does anyone know? Thanks!

    REG 79 (8.20.11)
    FAR 74, 82 (5.31.11, 8.27.11)
    BEC 85 (10.19.11)

    Just got my REG score and I failed. I'm studying for BEC and will be taking it at the end of the month. Wondering if the NINJA notes really help or if it is another waste of money on study material.

    cpagirl@philly, don't feel discouraged. Many have said BEC is easiest of the four. But I know it is not. Since it is your first section, give youself some credits that you are keeping trying. We all have some those times that we want to quit. But don't. I often told myself, even 99.999% of CPA test takers pass the first time they try and I don't; that only means I was not lucky and I will do more to increase my chance of passing next time.
