Just took BEC and I felt like did ok. So far I have passed REG and failed FAR, but both of those tests I did not have time to complete them. In fact on FAR I left 3 SIMS completely blank! However, I did do “Stronger” than most on the MCQ – I guess because I spent so much time on them.

I have learned from my mistakes in the past and this time I gave myself a strict time limit on each testlet and gave myself an hour for the written communication. I felt that I did ok on the MCQs, but for the harder questions that required calculations and a lot of thought which I could not figure out right away I just guessed on. On my past tests I would sit there and figure them out – its a OCD thing I have. But I left myself enough time to complete the written communication, I was able to answer all the questions, and I think I answered them well, however, I did not have time to proof read any of them.

I hope the fact that I guessed on all the questions I normally would have tried to figure out benefited me in giving me more time for the SIMS. Although, SIMS on the BEC exam is only 15%, my learning curve is backwards. Basically I feel much better about this exam then I did about my other two, but I know its all relative and curved in comparison to everyone else. Just hoped I passed this one. Taking FAR again in November, not looking forward to that.

i took BEC this past tuesday, hope we both pass 🙂 however, I felt horrible on the last testlet b/c it was super hard… and the questions were super wordy and loooooooong…

Could be a good thing that the questions were harder in the last set of MCQs – probably meant you were doing well. I felt like I got lucky with the WC questions as they were not that wordy and pretty easy to answer. On the flip side I feel like I had very hard SIMs on FAR and REG. Hoped you passed as well, good luck!

I had to guess on some of the questions when I took it too. I left 1 hour to finish the sim and it was plenty(including proofreading).
