    @ Bretton James 2.0, Yeah, I think that is my next step…non stop questions… however; that is also difficult to know whether or not I am learning or getting them right do to remembering via repetition. I can continue to cry a river, or just get back at it. I choose to get back at it; so… you'll be hearing from me more often on here. You have any other studying strategies to share??

    @ CPA Chaser…not really to be honest. I have to say that I admire your hard work and resolve, a lot of people would have given up a long time ago. Keep running through questions and even though you will memorize some, the muscle memorization will help you dominate the test!

    Hey everyone! I am planning on taking BEC sometime in November. Since this is my last exam, I am actually kinda excited to start studying. But I have heard mixed things about BEC, some say it's the easiest because it has the least amount of material, but other say it's the hardest because it is so random. We shall see.

    REG - 64, 72, 81!
    FAR - 77
    AUD - 79
    BEC - 72, 79! And Done!

    For all those who have asked about study material

    I think that the material my not matter, it is all about determination & commitment. People I work with, have used Becker, Wiley, Roger and Gleim. Some pass, some fail – but it all comes back to commitment (throw into the mix quality study – no facebook or work). I will admit that the style of the book may differ for each & some learn from reading, others visually or from audio. You sort of have to work out what is best for you.

    I use Wiley test bank & Wiley books for all, with Roger lectures & books if needed.

    When using the test bank (using AUD as an example) the bank is broken up into 8 topics. I answer 25 of each, each day – so that is 200 questions per day. I am not afraid to say that I answered well over 2k questions. I do this for parts of the exam. I read the book, watch the lectures and reread if necessary. And yes, I passed with a 91 after a few scores in the 70's.

    I am now retaking BEC, my last part. I passed with a 82 but it lapsed… For study, my habits will not change – i.e. questions, read, no TV or PS3 and 200 questions per day…(hard work, commitment, determination and good study habits).

    By early December I will have a 75+ for BEC and all 4 parts passed.

    Reg 82; FAR 75; AUD 91; BEC 11/9/13; result due - 11/22/13

    @CPA Chaser…..Do not give up yet, people like you are the reason why we are still studying and hoping to make it.

    I started studying for these exams in January and have passed only REG, my first attempt at REG was 63; I passed my second attempt with 84. I have also attempted BEC twice and have failed on both attempts. I hate to be conquered by these exams and sometimes I feel like giving up but the experience and the perseverance that you guys demonstrates always inspire me to move on.

    I failed BEC with 58 on my first attempt , just when I thought I was going to nail it on my second attempt; I failed once again with 70. Im taking a break from BEC right now to concentrate on AUD.

    We shall all pass someday!

    REG -63│ 84!!
    BEC- 59│70│ 71 │78!
    AUD- 75!
    FAR- 87!
