Im struggling bad with BEC – I've watched all the becker lectures and now im struggling through the MCQ's. Any advice from all who have passed? My exam is july 11th and I plan on hammering MCQ's until then

[mckan514w]

I'm also struggling YJP- these mcq's are seriously blowing my mind- I want to know (Which I am sure given the confidentiality agreement no one will be able to clue me in on) is if the questions on the exam are as detailed as some of these practice MCQ's especially these NPV's where you are having to calculate multiple periods and multiple after tax effects of inflows and outflows- some of these problems are taking me 15 to 20mins… which is freaking me out given the time constraints of the exam… I would think if they are not going to let us use a financial calculator or excel they would keep some of these IRR, NPV etc.. questions simple and to a min. but knowing them…. (I digress… )

Hang in there YJP….

and they ask me why I drink...

@mckam514w – Also add to that the fact that all those long computation MCQs, I have been doing them with paper and pencil, as I cannot understand that fake escel sheet they offer (BeckEr). I am freaking out, where I am gonna keep track of all that.

You will see long computation type MCQs in your exam but It wouldn't take you more than 3-4 mins.

WOO HOO Marqzho and Spartan!!! You two just made my day! Congratulations to you both- I don't know who I'm happier for Marqzho for finishing the whole thing!!! (will miss you on the boards with your great advice) or Spartan getting a “win”!!! Yay both of you!

Thanks for the heads up info Marzqzho-

yes aatoural– I just did a problem that took me 15 mins to calculate everything and I went through front and back of 2 legal pad papers- if that showed up on my exam I would seriously have to raise my hand in the middle of a freaking question to get more paper- and then lose everything I had written on the other… this section is honestly killing me…

and they ask me why I drink...

I flunked BEC.

Thinking to supplement myself with another book. I have Wiley study guide, WTB & NINJA MCQ..

Which one should I go for? Roger study guide or NINJA BEC book ?

BEC- 43(Feb'16), Retake-June 10, (Wiley text book/WQB/NINJA MCQ)

@user2701, your book isn't the problem. A 43 with any material isn't the problem. Ask yourself if you put enough time.

AUD-77
BEC-70,73,68,74 SH##!!!!!, 80
REG-73,76
FAR -74,82

Ethics here I come!!

[user2701]

@Crunchtime-

I know I need to put in more time. Along with that I was asking should I supplement with other book.

@user2701 – Personally I think that more books can become very overwhelming. Are you making sure that when you get a MCQ worng you go back to the material and try to understand and learn it, not just jump into the next question? Also, have yourself a piece of paper where you write down topics you are more confused about and re-read and explain it to yourself out loud (that helps me).

@aautoural-

Yes I am referring the MCQ solutions when I am wrong. But going back to the modules, no I havent done that. I also know that I am weak in FM,Cap Budgeting. I know I should re read it.

Inspite of knowing my weakness , its like I am a little confused. May be I will get along in the flow..Just a bit of initial tension.
