Does all of your state has the same rule as following. I applied for BEC re-examination to state board in Wyoming and I got following reply :(.

A candidate may take any section of the examination up to four times during a one-year period but cannot retake any failed test section in any one three month testing period.

I am in NV and i read instruction for reexamination. It states the same rule. You can't retake exam in the same quarter you failed it. Hope it helps.

ivanka81 is right. The next If you taken the exam in January or February. You can't take it again until April

I'm feeling a little better about the exam on Tuesday, but I'm going to have to study ALL WEEKEND to be fully prepared. The only things tripping me up are economics (ugh) and cost accounting. I really wish I had taken cost recently because I'm just struggling to understand it without having an actual teacher walk me through multiple problems.

Is anyone using/has used Becker spending time looking at the B4 Appendix (IT)?

[A1lessio]

Hey everyone,

For the section in B3 Becker on Economic Order Qty of inventory. The formula is the square root of 2 annual sales x order cost/ Carrying cost per unit.

How do you get the square root without a scientific calculator? …

First work out the division inside then multiply the result by itself

Hey,

Has anyone updated their Becker software for April 2017 exam?

[SONA]

The AICPA is considering making the following changes to exam administration:

Extending the 18-month rolling window to 24 months.
Allowing students to retest for a failed section of the exam in the same testing window.
The AICPA would like to make these changes, but have not set a timeline for the changes because of the complexity of implementation and the required approval process.

[SONA]

Is anyone studying for BEC exam on or after 1st April?

Hi, I am currently preparing the BEC, but I don't know when I will take it because I didn't be considered suitable.
My status is still ¨EVALUATE¨. Anyway I am with IT chapter now. Puff it is a nightmare!

Hi, I just registered. Nice to meet you all!

I have about two weeks left until my BEC section.
I am using a mix of different resources for this exam in general.
Mostly Roger, and some Becker as well.

I already passed Audit and Regulation with late 80 / early 90, so I feel pretty comfortable about the general study strategy.

As for BEC though, I am most concerned about the Information Technology section.
I keep hearing from people that you can't really study for it, aside from covering the basic material from these test prep books. Most people around me who took the exam seems to feel that they weren't prepared for the IT section.

What's the best way to go about preparing for that particular subtopic of BEC?
I studied NINJA notes, and did some Becker problems. Still feel utterly unprepared..

[ignaciopc]

Hi, I don't see the point in IT part, does not make any sense!
