Has anyone looked at the sample test on the AICPA’s website? When going through it, when you get to the TBS section if you click the tab Analytics Definitions/Valuation Metrics, it gives you the formulas needed to complete the TBS. Is this correct?!?!?!? If so, it FREAKIN’ sweet!!

yeah I can see the AICPA putting on some easy questions on their website to boost a candidates confidence and then when exam time comes your blindsided by some crazy hard SIMS.

AICPA is unethical and cruel like that. I have gotten 2 DRS on AUD last feb. probably take an hour to complete both. I have gotten FAR, AUD, REG topics on the writing communications section of BEC

very sneaky and a kick to the you know what .

how many sims will be on the BEC exam? I am retaking it on April.

[shawn in VA]

4 SIMS i think
3 WC
the big kicker is its a FOUR hour exam , not 3 like the good ole days

[mooseonloose]

I honestly can use that extra hour. DO you know how many will be pre test?

BEC w/SIMS makes me cringe

[shawn in VA]

no i dont know how many pre test. i am waiting on my score from MAR 10. It was a retake after a nasty 74.

I would NOT underestimate this BEC exam. It is a nasty exam. They ask random stuff that your book may or may not cover

I hate BEC with a passion, I received a 73. I knew the WC topic in and out but still received weaker on WC. Good luck!

I can't even imagine what a cost accounting sim will look like. BEC was the worst exam to study for and I knew it would give me the most trouble out of all of them. Good luck to everyone taking the new format.

FAR: 75 Roger & Ninja (notes/flashcards/audio/MCQ)
AUD: 73, 81
BEC: 71, retake 8/29
REG:

looks like the passing rate for BEC is about to drop to the lowest.
