BEC is the easiest exam, only because it has the least material, but it's also the one I scored the lowest 😛

I don't think it's easy. The only easy parts to me were Economics and the ratios.

You have time to redo everything and write down all things you get wrong.

The flipside to “everything's hard if you don't know how to do it” is “everything's easy if you already know how to do it.”

I found the ratios easy because working with ratios was part of my job. Other things I could make t-accounts for. Other things I memorized. Other things I could just logic my way through. The rest was hard. It's going to be hard but the exam tests discipline. Things are going to be hard, but they're not going to be impossible.

You're going to have to examine:

(1) Whether your study courses are right for you

(2) Whether you're studying as effectively as you can — are you taking shortcuts?

(3) Whether you get things right because you understand the concept or because you're lucky.

(4) How you study what you get wrong.

Best of luck!

Maybe you should look at is as performance by category.

65% out of 2000 could be 85% on cost accounting, 50% on economics, 70% on internal control/ERM. Where are your weak spots?

@Justinnn – good point.Here's my breakdown.

94% Corporate Governance

76% Econ

65% IT

51% Financial

52% Strategic Planning

53% Operations Management

Obvisouly I suck in the harder areas. The bottom three were way lower initially, but I am improving.

@75 – many thanks for the encouragement, I do beleive I have enough time. With Reg, I poured it on the last two weeks heavy duty, thats my style.

Cartoon and everyone else, good feedback much appreciated.
