Ok so I took BEC last week. I felt pretty good when i left the test facility, but as usual as the day went on I started to doubt myself more and more. I felt alright on the MCQs. The testlets never seemed to get overall harder but the questions I wasnt sure on seemed harder so I took that as a good sign.

What I am kind of worried about is the written communications. I only wrote 2-3 paragraphs for each question. From anyone with exprience does this sound right or should I have wrote way more? One paragraph would be around 5 sentences and the other two would be more like 2-3 senetences.

I took BEC today and felt the same way about the MC's. I had two of the EXACT same questions although in two different testlets. I was the same way about the WC's. I fully completed all three and really couldn't tell which one will be thrown out. I had some paragraphs with two senttences, but then others five or six. I just made sure I addressed the issue.

I took BEC yesterday. I kinda felt the same way….I really don't have much to compare it to other than FAR which I took in July. I left FAR feeling like I totally bombed it. The SIMS were brutal. I left BEC not really knowing what to expect. Obviously, the questions aren't as difficult as FAR, but I just had questions that were “out there” I did every single MCQ in the Wiley testbank and I still had stuff on there that I felt I didn't see. I didn't find the calculations to be too difficult, they were things I had seen, but some of the theory questions are what threw me off because they were weird.

I knew 2 of the 3 WCs well enough to write a good memo. The 3rd one was on a more difficult “out there” topic so I thought maybe that is a pre-test question? I still managed to put something together.

I'm just praying for a 75 on both my FAR and BEC that we get in like 3 weeks…..I definitely do not want to end this testing window 0-2.
