Just wanted to get a general opinion of what you thought while you were studying for BEC versus any of the other parts. I know I shouldn’t underestimate the beast that is BEC.. I just feel like I’m getting a lot more questions right on the first attempt than I did in other sections and the question wording seem kind of obvious where in other sections I was a lot more confused or frustrated when doing mcq. I’m not factoring in the calculation questions because those I know I need to study in depth.

I’m also thinking that maybe since this is the third part i’m studying for, I’ve figured out a study plan that works and so the study process is more effective.

Just curious as to how some of you may have felt while studying for this part vs another.

AUD - 8/12/16
REG - 10/7/16
BEC - 11/18/16
FAR - TBD

Generally easier than other sections. Its basically business management/Econ/IT/ratios. REG is rules and equations. FAR is financial accounting. AUD is audit.

Based on topic I would rank by easiness BEC > AUD > REG > FAR for most. There are some cases in which certain individuals are better at a specific topic especially for REG or FAR. I knew a Chinese guy who told me americans were bad at math and he said FAR was easy for him. This is a special case but my ranking is pretty much how it goes for most people.

You're going to get all over the place responses. BEC is the hardest test IMO. I passed all the other tests the second try and I'm waiting for my 5th BEC score. I would say it's AUD-REG-FAR-BEC.

AUD - 72, 81
FAR - 71, 78
REG - 60, 78
BEC - 60, 71, 71

IF I FALL, I WILL GET BACK UP. IF I AM BEATEN, I WILL RETURN.

How important is the IT section for BEC? I've been watching Olinto and taking notes on the first 3 sections but I've just decided to do the Becker and Ninja MC questions for the IT section. Do you think this will be sufficient for the IT section?
