yeah this past weekend was all becker. ive gone through every mcq in becker twice before this weekend and my scores were all higher. so this weekend i went through all my marked questions (which were a lot) and they improved even more. only one i didnt focus too much on was econ cause i was scoring 80s my first time through. ive been scoring high 70s/80s on my progress tests but i think im going to start incorporating ninja more later today (think i have like 800 questions left). also, i've been constantly reading the IT chapter but will take another skim through the book before next wednesday.

agreed ninja gets frustrating but ive heard from people that there were terms on the exam that they have never seen so i guess it may help a bit even if it is frustrating.

It sounds like we are pretty much at the same place with our scores and thoughts! Haha.

Yes it will all be worth it if I see a passing grade when this is over!!! 🙂

AUD - 73,91
FAR - 79 - Thank you God!
BEC - 73,79!!!!
REG - 92 whatttt??!

I used Becker review + flashcards, Ninja Audio, Ninja MCQ supplement on BEC and REG.

Done! Praise God!

You guys doing the final exams?

Do you have your format down for the WC?

Are you rereading the answers of the questions you get wrong?

Did you check to see (from the final exams) which chapters you had the most wrong in?

[lauren725]

Cbones – congrats on your awesome score!!!

I completed the first final exam – 79. I went through the questions I got wrong and identified what chapters they were from.

I have not completed exam #2. I remember you saying you suggested taking it.

WC I think I do, havent practiced it much but know how I am going to format it.

Yes, I used Becker and purchased Ninja Audio which I have listened to daily on my ride to and from work.

You basically finished with a higher score than me on the becker final exam 1, so I think you are on the right track.

Let me know what exam 2 brings for you. The questions are not repeats from the Becker Material.

very good. You should be fine. Remember, these last few days before the exam are you chance to prove to yourself how much you want to pass. Every extra minute you have you should try to absorb something that could show up on the exam.

I'm throwing my BEC notecards and notes away now. Soon, you will be doing the same.

Cheers!

How is everyone preparing for the WC? please share your strategy… I have Becker and ninja mcq. Also, if you use flashcards how do you know what should go on a flashcard and what shouldn't? lol I don't want to end up writing the whole book on flashcards.

[jstay]

aspiring, i looked over the WC in becker and listened to the lecture. i went over the “good” responses last weekend. this weekend i am going to do that again and outline my responses. overall, not much is going into, not nearly as much as MCQ or the sims for the other tests.

flashcards, everything that becker highlighted/underlined–i re-wrote it on index cards.

[kappa1032]

Just found out I passed Audit with an 88. Still waiting on REG score that I took yesterday, so fully motivated to get to BEC. Hopefully this will be my last exam ever!

FAR - 81
REG - 74, 87
AUD - 88
BEC - 88

I'm about 60% of the way through my BEC materials and my exam is on Monday. Whoops… Looks like the next few days are going to be torturous. I don't stand a chance

As of right now I don't deserve to pass so I won't be that shocked if score release date shows <75.

I really am hoping for a miracle though because it would be great to be done!

Here's to studying my butt off for the next 5 days!

Cheers!!!

ala72, what are your weak areas? hit those hard. also hit IT and Cost.

[ala72]

The formulas related to project risk (payback period, ARR, IRR, etc) are hard to remember, as well as the different ratios. So I guess the formula ones are my biggest hurdle at this point. I'm going back and forth on whether I want to continue on as I have been: taking notes of the powerpoints, watching the lectures, doing the MCQ, etc, so I really learn the material but run the risk of not even seeing all of the material available. Or I could not take notes, watch the lectures, do some MCQ, and essentially glaze over the rest of the material with the hope that at least some of it sticks or refreshes my memory.

Thoughts?

1) Continue on current study path and learn very thoroughly but not get to the last chapters, or

2) Learn less thoroughly but at least get exposed to each chapter with the hope that I can see something familiar on game-day
