Agreed. The absolute worst part of BEC is the IT section. Unfortunately, I got slammed with IT heavy questions. Was getting so frustrated with the types of questions they asked, that I almost left the exam early… but, I decided to keep at it, and move through the exam. I believe this is the trick to BEC, or at least it was before the change. Each and every person I have talked to about BEC has said the exact same thing: “I got fu**ed with a bunch of IT questions.” I honestly think they put in there just to make us really irritated and nervous.
Becker is terrible with the IT section, but I wouldn't spend any additional money on other review avenues. IT is IT. If you've done it for a while, you'll be set. If not, you're not going to get… and that, sadly, is the truth. My suggestion is to focus on the other areas, as they may seem less important than IT, they still appear and have a decent weight. Plus, I've heard the sims on the new exam are more focused on non-IT related areas.
Caution: I am not saying to ignore IT, just make sure it isn't your primary focus from now until exam day.
P.S. I thought I boomed because of IT, but came out with an 87. You will do fine. Continue chugging along and be ready for that well-deserved victory lap!
Good luck!!
