Is IT really heavy tested in BEC?

[Anonymous]

Yes.

[EZ_Sims_4_me_Pls]

it could be.. you should prepare for all scenarios as best you can.

my test is on the 10th. im going to be drilling IT, Finance, COSO and Cost accounting everyday until then.

Is it more important to go through the Book and try to memorize all of the random IT Terminology? Or, should I work Becker's MCQ's until my eyes bleed? I've always been somewhat confused about allocating my time to Book Memorization vs working MCQ's. However, MCQ's seem to be more more effective than the Book because they go into more depth. But, u need the Book to have a Solid Foundation, so you are not completely Lost.

Thoughts and any disagreements? Thanks.

You will probably get anywhere from 2-5 IT questions I would guess. Some will be really easy, while others will be very exact on some type of process probably like who does what with data etc.

For me doing the MCQ's over and over again made me feel comfortable. My study habit was to read a chapter and then do MCQ, read another chapter, more MCQ. The progress tests of 30-45 questions over all the chapters I had studied. I did this over and over until a week before the test and then just progress tests focusing on areas I scored lowest in.

First go at the CPA! Only using Becker

@trele6

Thanks for your feedback. I follow almost the same method you just described: watch lecture, read book, MCQ, Progess Test, then next chapter. Some of Becker's lectures are horrible (Angie and Mike Brown), but Peter O'linto does a good job. Once I finish all of the chapters I review my notes/numonics/formulas, then scan through each chapter and work missed MCQ's. Then Peogress Tests until test day. Thanks for your help!

Don't skip it!

Is it really 2-5 only ?
If it is just like this i will skip it cause it is the hardest section
But in becker they mentioned 15%-19% which means at minimum 10 questions

[NeedsA75]

Unfortunately yes. It was the hardest part of my BEC exam. Everything else seemed straight forward for the most part

Definitely do not skip it. I hear you may also get a few pre-test questions that are IT/cybersecurity related.

[ultrarunner]

Yes. Please do not skip.
