Hi all,

I’m scheduled to take BEC on 2/27. I’m not sure if I should reschedule it for early April. I should be through the entire book of Wiley by the end of this coming week, including a single run through the MCQ’s. Then I will begin my overall review.

I know on the exam, I will do well on the writing portion, no issues there. Unless I get something that I simply do not know anything about, which is unlikely. The part which is worrying my are the calculations on the capital budgeting and costs of equity. If I get a test weighted heavily towards IT and Economics, golden. If it’s heavy on the capital budgeting and costs of equity calculations, I could be in trouble.

I’m finding the text of the Wiley makes sense but applying it to the questions is just very difficult. The questions introduce a ton of unnecessary information and the it seems the calculations are completely different from the formulas given. Maybe I am just tired.

For those that have taken BEC recently I know you cannot give me specifics but were the calculation portions fairly well mixed among topics or did the test hammer a specific topic or two? If I just cannot get capital budgeting or cost of capital topics, is that going to sink my chances?

Thanks,

CPAPending

Other than a couple hundred bucks, you really have no reason NOT to take it. You sound pretty well prepared. Who knows what you'll actually see on the exam. Keep grinding and take it at the end of the month.
