I don't know how folks get through this BEC material!!! I mean I just got a 71 on a random set of questions in Wiley ( trying to mimic one testlet) and I am struggling!!! I really hate this topic!! STUPID formula's are all in my head. I woke up this morning reciting the breakeven formula!!! gosh I hate this!! gotta get over this since my test is in 11 days!!! Only thing that is keeping me going is that if I work really hard I CAN BURN THE MATERIALS!!

rant over back to studying!!

FAR 76
REG 76(2x)
BEC FAILED (2x)
AUD FAILED (2x)

Took BEC today; no clue how I did. First testlet was fine, 2nd was definitely harder.

The problem with BEC is that it is so broad. You may have a little knowledge about a lot, but it's hard to have a lot of knowledge about a lot. This is what makes the conceptual questions more difficult. You may have a general knowledge of the concepts/terms but because all of the answers dance around the true answer, it is really hard to know the correct answer … you have an idea but the options all seem similar. This is because, again, because the material is so broad, it's hard to know a lot of detail about a lot of details.

Becker was fine. Was pretty much in line with the questions, particularly the math intensive ones. However, I think Becker doesn't do the best job at emphasizing both math-related and conceptual non-math related information equally.

QUESTION: Someone said only 2 of the 3 written parts are graded. Is that factual or speculated? Also, if only two, is it your 2 best … or 2 predetermined ones they have picked?

@ Got2Pass

Pretty sure 2 of the 3 are graded, with the one being thrown out just a Experimental Question.

Got2Pass I agree. I took BEC today and felt the same way. I think I did ok but there were definitely some I had to guess on in order to keep going or I wouldn't have finished in time. I am hoping for a 75! My second testlet and third seemed harder but then again I have never really been able to tell if it is really getting harder. The WC weren't too bad though so I am hoping those pull me through. I hate the waiting process now!
