On to AUD and FAR. bye BEC forum!

[samantha09]

What is the best way to prepare for the IT section? I have Becker and Ninja MCQ, will that be enough?

[ThomasHallberg]

Should be, read and do the multiple choice questions. Also, it is all memorization. Like Econ. Give it a read before the exam. Bye BEC forum!

@Teal, hang in there. I've been there w/ Reg, keep on pushin!

Sheesh, capital budgeting is kickin my butt, and the gleim TB knows it, so it keeps feeding me those questions. I have a 50% avg for that one. I can nail almost everything, well I get choked up on some cost accounting, but cap budgeting is the devil. IRR, ARR, Payback, ROCE, ROI, Residual Value are killin my life.

@mtaylo24 thanks, I know you are right, but it is such a bummer because I was hoping not to have to take the new test! BEC is totally killing me. I don't know why, but econ isn't intuitive for me haha and all those dang formulas!

^^^It might be worth a shot, but I wouldn't have high hopes on the appeal.

Econ takes a LOT of practice for some of us. A lot of people focus on cost, financial mgmt, coso, and IT and forget all about little ol econ/globalization. I think I always get weaker in that one smh!

AUD - 1st - 60 (12/12), 61 (2/13), 61 (8/13), 78! (11/15)

Anyone else finding the BEC Ninja questions hard?
yikes!!!
I'm using Becker and the NINJA has a lot of foreign terms.
thanks!

[Katze6]

New here! Take my BEC test on February 17th. It seems I am doing well with Corporate Governance, IT and somewhat economics but not as well with financial or the cost accounting part of it 🙁 I hope I can pass. I have been using Becker and recently purchased the MCQ from Ninja.

[samantha09]

I had a meltdown about this the other day lol, I use Becker and just bought Ninja MCQ and noticed the same thing about all these random terms that were never covered in Becker. Not quite sure what to make of this unless someone who has used both of these materials has anything to add

[Plymuff]

While for me Econ seems to be the easiest. Always used to love economics. Did it at advanced level but opted for accounting instead BSc Economics. The key for Econ is understanding Demand and Supply.

AUD - May 2016
BEC - Passed
FAR - Passed

Success is how high you bounce when you hit bottom

[Abdulmajid]

[mtaylo24]

@abdulmajid, I see the progression, don't give up…it takes a while to get your first one (took me 4). What is your study method?
