    @tdeadman thank you for trying to help me out here, but I still don't get it 🙁 if my analysis 4A = B is correct, shouldn't it be A = 1/4B by doing algebra? I feel so stupid now =/

    Yes and no to your alegrabic explanation. Change it to this 4(1) = 1 to 4 = 1 You are trying to make them actually equal but they will always be a ratio 4:1 and it is not a solvable alegrabic equation.

    Change the names and maybe that might help. For example. John Company sells 4 batteries for every 1 toy robot. This would be the same as 4A = 1B

    You cant sell 1 battery and just a 1/4 of the robot. The B is always going to be a complete unit and for every B you will always have 4 A's.

    REG 76
    AUD 84
    FAR 71, 81

    And I am DONE!!!!!

    John Company sells 4 batteries for every 1 toy robot. This would be the same as 4A = 1B << I get this part. But Becker has it as A = 4B not 4A = B. this is complicated to me!!! grrr

    Just came back from my 2nd attempt of BEC exam. And it is unexpectedly HARD!!!!!!!! The 1st time I DID not study at all and I got a 58. So I told myself if I spent 17% more effort I will pass.

    Instead of spending a 17% effort, I devoted a 99% (Conservatism) effort, and I don't think I will pass it, still. I had a lot of questions on theory and the theory questions were not merely definition questions. They required you to know the logic behind an equation inside out. It's just sooooo hard.

    I had a question that was exactly the same but showed up in two different testlets, and OF COURSE, it was one of those questions I did not know how to do.

    OMG

    FAR: (10/2012) studied for 8 weeks, 81
    BEC: (10/2012) studied for 1 day, 58; (1/2013) studied for 3 weeks, 77
    AUD:(1/2013) studied for 1 week, 86

    I totally forgot to post my experience on this thread….

    Anywho, I took my exam last Friday and as the majority of the test takers for 2013 found it, the exam to me, was also extremely difficult.

    1st testlet – medium with lots of questions that were super duper long

    2nd testlet – difficult – again more questions that were super duper long

    3rd testlet – difficult – again more questions that were super duper long

    WC – fairly simple and I was able to get through all three with decent write ups in 30 mins flat.

    Overall, nothing was out from the left field but I did guess on a few but chose what I thought was the best answer. What made it difficult for me was that most of the questions were long that required multiple calculations to derive at an answer. It was a race against time and I literally almost cried but like a Ninja, stuck through it and finished it in the nick of time. Praying praying praying…is all I can do! Hurry Feb 5th!!!

    BEC 10/13 PASSED 77
    AUD 04/12 PASSED 83
    FAR 08/12 PASSED 76
    REG 02/13 PASSED 76

    I took the exam this afternoon. As luck would have it I came down with a nasty stomach virus overnight so I am pretty sure any chance I had left with that. First testlet was hard, next one was very hard, last one was easy. Not a good sign. I rushed through the essays and left with 30 minutes left because I felt myself getting sick. Darn you NASBA and your 24 hour cancellation policy. 🙁

    @ JD2CPA

    Sounds exactly like my exam.

    @ SeePeeAyy,

    The process of capturing data and ultimately producing information output is referred to as:

    Data processing

    Transaction processing

    Transaction controls

    Information and communication,

    Which chapter or what is the question number for this question in Becker?

    Hi guys!

    I'm hoping to spend the next two weeks and a half and sit for BEC around 1/30/13. Wish me luck! This is my second exam, took AUD last Friday. Getting through the cost accounting is currently challenging me.

    AUD - 1/13 - 86 *** BEC - 1/13 *** REG - 2/13 *** FAR - 4/13
    Goal is to be done by my annual review in April!

    He did not laugh 🙁

    BEC - 35, 62, 79!
    AUD - 73, 75!
    FAR - 65, 73, 70, 75! DONE.

    Pretty devastated about this one!! I ran out of time on the writing part, I was only able to finish two of them. Teslets were consistently Medium/Hard. I had mostly calculation problems. There were things on the exam that Becker didn't even cover slightly. I am so upset right now!!!!!!! :-‘(

    JAM05 – The worst thing is that you might have to take it again and this you don't have to start from scratch. (at least this is what I am telling myself for my rematch next Monday).
