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?

@Mickeywanttopass…

Just returned from taking BEC and let me tell you, I feel like I was hit broadside by a truck. Many of the questions seemed like they cam out of nowhere. Halfway through the second testlet I was thinking I studied the wrong material. Pretty sure I will be taking that one again in November. The questions in the first two testlets were ridiculous!! Not many calculations at all….surprising considering Becker emphasizes which sections are heavy on the exam…..really??? Those sections were not heavy on my exam!!! I will be shocked if I even pull a 50!! Back to the books next week for REG in October and BEC in November!!!

AUD- 84
FAR- 75
REG- 78...I am DONE!!!
BEC- 79

I know I kept waiting for more questions in different areas because I knew what the % should be in each subject but it didn't feel like it.

I'm still hoping we will pass but like I said I'm worried that Becker didn't cover everything

Don't feel bad if u had hard questions I had the same in FAR and passed with an 82 and I didn't know much in the second testlet there so maybe there's hope

REG - 79
AUD - 84
FAR - 82

@Mickeywanttopass… thanks for the vote of confidence. It will take a miracle to get a 75 with those questions. Going to enjoy the long weekend before moving on to REG.

I'm doing a final review for my test tomorrow.

The more I read about people's BEC exam experience, the more nervous I get. There seems to be plenty of people talking about seeing MCQ's with topics that were not covered in study materials. Then some people get tons of calculation q's and others get mostly theory. Pretty unnerving and frustrating.

Took the BEC part today …. It was definitely a lot harder than I expected it to be. I felt pretty good about how much I knew before taking the exam but, once I was in there I did check if I was taking the right part.. The second testlet had quiet a few questions that I had no idea about (like a lot of other people mentioned here)… But the sims were doable in-spite of me having only 25 mins left for the sims.. Hoping to pass the exam with some points there and some more points with the grace of god !!! … Keeping my fingers crossed.

Good luck everyone!!!
