@khammany06 and @rosy0407 – were the written parts out of left field or reasonable?

Thanks!

My exam is on 10th. My av ninja score is 64 and it is not going up. I am doing Wiley book Q's right now. How was written communication . English is my second language so it is not easy for me two write good memos. Any last 3 days advice. Was the exam difficulty.

@ZacharyAlan14 I thought they were alright. nothing out of the norm. Make sure to know major topics.

@cpa007 Don't stress too much, I didn't think the written communication was that hard. I pretty much followed Becker's outline for writing a memo.
To:

From:

Introduce your topic

Body (2 – 3 sentences) – elaborate on your intro

Closing

I went in either feeling too confident or feeling blah because i felt like i got a slap on the face after the first question lol. Some of the questions were too easy and others were too hard. Some calculations, so know your formulas. in other words, follow Becker's advice.

How did you think becker prepared you for the BEC exam?

The heavy becker chapters were not on my exam so I am very curious.

@hhung1485 I feel like they left a few things out, but over all it covered a lot of the questions I got. If I don't pass, I am going with Ninja MCQ and Becker book. That worked for AUD

@rosy0407

Yea. Most likely I will go with the ninja mcq. I hope they are going to broader in scope than beckers.

Only concerning part is not sure how to proceed besides keep hitting multiple choice questions.

But hopefully a pass and I won't have to think about it.

@hhung1485 I tried NInja MCQs and I loved them. The answers were better than becker

Does anyone have an opinion on Gleim MC ?'s

[Swan]

@zacharyalan14 The topics were reasonable. I felt okay about them, enough for me to make something up that sounds good.

@cpa007 English is also my second language. I have really terrible writings skills. To prepare myself for the writing section, I picked a topic from each chapter and wrote about it.

@ Khammany06 , @ Rosy0407
Thanks you all for the support.

I know the exam is mainly conceptual, but around how many problems do you actually have to solve using formulas, etc? I have been doing the practice exams and I feel like there are a lot of questions based on formulas as opposed to conceptual based.

Thanks!

Had it today, was my first exam. Thought it was pretty hard. I remember some questions and I dont think I got them right. I said an input control was a range on a quantity input on a website form. But looking at the book, it might've been the answer with prenumbering in it. I'm feeling pretty disappointed. There also was questions that seemed like it could've been on Far. I noticed 12/72 questions are pretest so well se if that helps or hurts where I think I got things wrong.
