P.S. That's what I did and I squeaked by with a 78

AUD - 86, FAR - 78, BEC - 79 (but it's been over 18 months), REG - 72 (7/6/2009), 78(10/24/2009)

haha….fair enough….will keep that in mind

vishvesh – i use becker study materials and for REG i did the usual studying – watched all the lectures, did all the multiple choice and supplemental questions several times, did the final exams and progress tests. i was totally surprised by the REG questions i got. the WHOLE exam was ridiculous. i am honestly still shocked i got a 90. i walked out of that testing center thinking i failed because i wasn't focusing on the right material compared to what the exam actually had on it.

i don't know if this helps but my friend is reviewing the final review material for FARE and she said that it mentioned 15 – 20% of MCQ are test questions..which means they don't count!! so i think i might have gotten a lot of test questions. even my SIMS were insane. good luck!

AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

jeff i might be completely jumping the gun here…but when do you expect to have new predictions out? 🙂 since i passed REG i don't feel as pressured to take BEC quickly so i have until feb. to take BEC. i wanna take it and wait the shortest amount of time to find out my score. haha. would i be better off taking it the end of feb?

AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

MPoni123 – I will probably have them out this week…I'm usually 2/4 on Wave 1 and 0/4 on Wave 2 🙂

If you schedule your exam for Feb 7 or earlier – you'll likely be Wave 1 for BEC.

hey MPoni123..

thanks for your experince…..yeh i am taking your advice and am planning to focusing all my attention on Tax and ethics component……..and hope i remember Law in the exam (done all mcqs)

gud luck on your BEC prep

[MPoni123]

you're welcome vishvesh. that is a good idea to focus on tax and ethics. i think most of my exam was tax based questions and i did get a decent amount of ethics questions as well. (although every exam is different!) i was surprised with how little business law stuff was on there.

word of advice – definitely focus on chapter 3! that's where a lot of my questions came from! good luck studying for REG!

when do you take BEC?

AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

hey jeff – how come my signature doesn't show up every time i post something?

AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

I wouldn't listen to MPoni, Vishvesh. It's obvious that he/she over studied and overachieved on the exam. You don't wanna end up with a 90 and wishing that you'd done less… Just kidding.

AUD - 86, FAR - 78, BEC - 79 (but it's been over 18 months), REG - 72 (7/6/2009), 78(10/24/2009)

I tried to get close to the “perfect 300” but the audit exam was too easy and messed it all up

AUD - 86, FAR - 78, BEC - 79 (but it's been over 18 months), REG - 72 (7/6/2009), 78(10/24/2009)

[MPoni123]

haha learningisfun after i walked outta that exam i would have been thrilled if i got a 75!! i think some major scaling and tossing out of some exam questions occurred! oh well…either way..i passed! 2 down, 2 to go. now i need to find motivation for BEC. help =/

AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

[MPoni123]

you just need BEC now, too right learningisfun? when do you plan on sitting for it?

AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

Motivation for last two exams really is an issue… I hate REG right now, hate it hate it

BEC is not that difficult – I found that my Becker materials reflected exam very well. One advice – make sure to look through all IT definitions – they test them a lot.

[learningisfun]

Feb 26th. I planned that date so that I knew exactly when I would get my score back. I hate waiting for my score more than anything. When are you sitting for it? Here's some motivation; BEC is laughing at you right now and calling you names. Are you gonna take that? Are you just gonna sit back and let the examiners laugh in your face? Or are you gonna study and kick it's ass! No but seriously if you can pass REG then you can pass anything, not saying that BEC is a walk in the park because strange things happen when the AICPA thinks of exam questions but obviously it looks like you can knock it out of the park.

AUD - 86, FAR - 78, BEC - 79 (but it's been over 18 months), REG - 72 (7/6/2009), 78(10/24/2009)
