I have a question that I hope you can help me with…. I purchased the Becker CD’s and installed them on my PC. I have taken and passed all but one of the exams (BEC left).. I was checking to see if my software was up to date and noticed an expiration date of November 2013.. Does this mean my software ( downloaded from my CD’s) will no longer work after November….or will it no longer be supported but I can still take practice exams and do study questions etc?

Anyone else notice Becker uses lots of released and “made-up” questions in their MC? Is that really an effective way of studying for MC? Granted, I ONLY reviewed the released questions for REG and passed with a 90. But that was before I knew what the term “released” meant in this context.

Today is the last day before I test. I have to say that I am not going in with a good feeling. I have been studying since May but starting a new job last week has thrown me out of the water!! It doesn't help that it is all new skills at my new job including doing my first even inventory which has led to long hours and my body getting worn down by spending 9-10 hour days walking on concrete warehouse floors surrounded by fertilizer chemicals. Last night I couldn't even study….I just got in bed at 9 because I was shaking too much from stress and who knows what else.

Anyhow, I am hoping to pass but looking at this as more of a getting my nerves out experience. First exam ever….. terrified….. many lessons learned (including don't take exam on a Friday or after 2 weeks of starting a new job that is completely different than any job ever worked before). Enough whining, time to get ready to go to work to look at variances from our physical count. I know that many of us are getting in those last hours of study before testing before end of month so good luck everyone!

Just finished up working the AICPA 2013 released questions and did pretty well on them. Nothing too scary.

I'm going to go for a run now with some ninja audio and go over ninja notes tonight. Hopefully I can get some good sleep tonight so I can wake up tomorrow, go over the notes/audio one more time and knock BEC out of the park.

[P or F.. I think Im gonna BARF]

Just finished BEC, and possibly the last CPA exam I'll ever have to take. I'm refraining from “celebrating” for another 2 weeks until scores are released. I almost forgot what it feels like to have “free time”… damn it feels good

B - (08/29/2013) Passed
A - (07/02/2013) Passed
R - (10/17/2013) 73 - Rematch
F - (05/29/2013) Passed

Just finished my exam I am hoping for good news but you never know with these exams. My first testlet was good I felt like I knew it very well and like I expected testlet 2 was difficult the problem was that it was very difficult I felt there were a lot of terms I've never heard before and I was using Becker so I am not sure if it was a good review or not. The 3rd part I think was hard but I am not sure if it was really hard or the second part just killed me.

WC was ok 2/3 the 1/3 was on a subject I knew like one sentence to write so the rest I just BSed so I'm really hoping they don't grade the answers :/

Anyone ever felt that confused too after bec?
