Welcome to the Q2 2017 CPA Exam Study Group for BEC. 🙂

[Anonymous]

For the past 5 years, I was always telling myself I need to take the CPA but lack of determination and implementation. Now I want to start again. This time should be serious. I choose to begin with BEC and hope it could give me some confident to continue the journey. Actually I passed BEC once but that's about 7 years ago. I know exam content and structure changed a lot.I am thinking of taking the exam in late May. I want to use Wiley and NINJA. Will this work?

Never take BEC exam before, I wonder how you guys allocate the time for the new exam? There is also 15 mins break (clock stop). How to use it?

I have 5 days left until my exam…I still don't know the format of the new exam. is it:

first testlet: 31MC
second testlet: 31MC
third testlet : 2 Sim
15 minutes break
fourth testlet: 3 sims
fifth testlet: 3 wc

?

Question: If you struggle with a certain chapter for a extensive period of time and get through the chapter. When doing your final review would you try to do as many questions relating to that topic? Or just reread through the material to “better” understand the concepts? I've tried both to no avail and ps it's chapter 3 and the numerous formulas. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

@mooseonloose everything is right except fourth TBS is 2 sims. Not three sims that's what Roger says in BEC final review.

Hope study is going well for everyone. I'm beginning to feel the anxiety again :-(. taking a deep breathe and starting to re-write my flash cards today. Starting my mcq's too….I don't think I'm getting anywhere with this book. But I listened to a good podcast tip to do sets of 20 until reaching 70-75% go from weak to strong. I am going to attack it that way and see if I feel any better after I finish re-writing my flash cards. I am really hating that book 🙁

It begins with a 75
Been here too long as a cheerleader....ready to pass

@tncincy I'm right there with you…I'm taking it 4/23. Kind of freaking out…BEC is no joke :/

[ineedthiscpa45]

@tcincy & @NYSB22 yeah your right for this to be the “easy” exam it doesn't feel like it. My exam is 5/8.
