@Netsforce – I didn't use any lectures for BEC and think i did well (no score yet though). So far I have been studying using only the Becker text and flashcards supplemented with CPAexcel MCQ's for the exam sections that I have taken.
For BEC, I only made it thought the first 2 sections of the Becker text. I did get through all the flashcards once though. I'm hoping that was enough. I took my exam on 8/30/12. Felt like I nailed the written comps. The exam questions felt easy compared to the CPA excel questions (this has been my experience with all sections so far). Hopefully they weren't easy because I was getting them all wrong. We'll see in a few days.
To me it seemed like most of the questions were conceptual. When there were calculation problems, they were not all that complex of calculations. First testlet was easy, second was hard (guessing based simply on the fact that the length of the problems nearly doubled), third testled was hard if I had to guess. Again, even on the hard testlets the problems that did have calculations were not overly complex.
