Is there a proper way to prepare for this section of BEC? I mean, should I be studying the BEC material in a way that I can memorize ideas to structure into a writing response? I’m just not quite sure how to approach.
I didnt prepare for the WC at all while studying. Before I went into prometrics, I read an example for a “full credit” in the Beckerbook and that was it. I think it would be a waste of valuable study time trying to practice or prepare for it.

@futureCPA12 one of the biggest downfalls for me was starting a new job 2 weeks before testing….I was under way too much stress and I had counted on days off at previous job that were no longer available to me when I started new job. (if that makes sense). There were a couple calculations that I had trouble with…but finance is my Achilles heel! I just didn't focus on that enough in studying. There were a few questions that were on topics that I did not study on or remember going over in my prep but I do see those topics on Wiley. My best section was IT but not good enough to get me the pass. Refocusing energy and will get it this time, I hope!

I disagree with 3Down1ToGo's comment about throwing in accountant jargon. You have to know your audience. If your audience is someone who doesn't have an accounting background, throwing in accounting jargon would not be helpful. Keywords, yes. Jargon, no. Maybe it's not that big of a deal, but it was stressed in Becker. Personally, I'd err on the side of caution and avoid it if at all possible, especially if your audience does not have an accounting background.

I was using “jargon” and “keyword” interchangeably. They wouldn't expect you to write out a long, high-level response ..
And for the keywords that I did use, I gave a brief definition just in case. You don't have to do any of this though. I was just trying to redeem myself from how poorly I performed on the MCQ's.
- passed all 4 exams on my first try using Becker!
