Dears, just now I received my BEC score and I was shocked!. I use Becker , I scored 68 in first mock & 78 in second mock. I can say that I was very prepared for the BEC. I know every little detail in all Becker materials in & out. If you open the book and ask me regarding any question I will answer you immediately. I felt like I’m overprepared but My score in actual is 63 . I passed regulation from first try and I gave both REG & BEC the same amount of studying . That’s really insane BEC which has the highest pass rate and the only one that I felt I’m over prepared, but I scored the lowest score since I started the CPA journey. Maybe I didn’t do well in the sims but how I can improve the sims , I did all Becker sims.

Hope you do BEC right away and then get back right at FAR you worked to hard to get to this point in your CPA journey.

BEC is a different beast. I hated BEC. I “liked” REG … tax just clicks with my brain better.

Except BEC, I passed remaining papers from first attempt. I passed BEC on the third attempt, 73 to 74 and finally 81.

I mixed becker with ninja on my third attempt and this is my advice to you.

Goodluck

Ninja for all the chapters or only IT is enough ?

BEC was fortunately easy for me. I enjoyed cost accounting through undergraduate and graduate. What helped me prepare for the SIMs was doing all of them in Becker, including the SkillMaster ones. I got to the point where I was comfortable and confident to complete them start to finish without referring to the material for help.

If you don't feel the same about the SIMs then I would start there. I made a 72 my first attempt and I knew it was the SIMs and WCs I 80% guessed on. You got this though! I hope I helped!

BEC CPA exam is brutal. It covers a wide range of topics, and the questions are often very difficult. I've seen people who are extremely intelligent and well-prepared fail this exam. BEC is not a test that you can study for a few weeks and expect to do well on. You need to put in months of preparation if you want any chance of passing. The BEC exam is also notoriously time-consuming. It's not uncommon for people to spend 40 hours or more preparing for this exam. If you're not prepared to put in the time, then you're likely to fail. BEC is a tough exam, but it's possible to pass if you're willing to put in the work.

@Fadelahendi I'm sorry you did not pass BEC. Please do not get too down on yourself, you could do this. The CPA exam is brutal as a whole and there are no easy sections. Try to use Ninja to supplement your Becker material. Perhaps you knew the answers but did not answer it correctly. Did you follow the format that the review course suggested for the reading comprehension? The WC grades on structure, content, grammar, etc. which could be a way to get points. Also make sure you know how to answer SIMS, for example when to leave an answer blank or to put a 0 or when to make it a negative or a positive. I only mention this because sometimes people know the answer but possibly put in the wrong response. Good luck and stay positive!

Disagree with most of what you said. I didn’t find it hard. Just requires learning the concepts thru and thru. Id say you need about 80 hours depending on how efficient you are with your study time.
