BEC Exam Format

    So BEC has 3 testlets with 24 MC q’s and a written section with 3 required memos, etc, correct? If so, that means to have an hour to spend on the written section, you have about 1.5 minutes to spend on each MC question? That seems really short to me. I finished far with 2 seconds left and had an average of 2 minutes per question.

    Are the questions on this exam easier to answer in a shorter time period than on FAR and does anyone have some tips on time management and how much time they allocated to each testlet? I’ve got my BEC test tomorrow and am most anxious about the short amount of time. Thanks!

    FAR - 82
    BEC - 83
    AUD - 77
    REG - 4/1/12 (*waiting*!!)

    I gave myself 40-45 minutes per testlet. It is certainly manageable and no, not like FAR!

    Good luck!

    @fillin Please let us know how you feel about the exam BEC is my next one. I just received my study materials yesterday and the first page i turned to was the graph. Stiiiiiinky, I really dont like economics so I know this will not be fun for me.

    I cant wait for this to be over.
