BEC is brand new for me. I have exactly 30 days from today for BEC test. I have becker Material with their final review.

Considering a limited time, 3 hrs weekdays, 8 hrs on weekends, what you guys think is the best strategy? Do I skip lectures or anything? Shall I focus on some specific chapter? What is the best way to drill it down? I just tested AUD and passed FAR back in Feb. Are those somehow related for some chapters?

Pls give me the suggestions, NINJAS. Good luck all for upcoming score release.

Personally, I value Becker for its lectures. If you short yourself on anything, make sure it is not lectures or MCQ. Maybe omit final review & half of the sims but still listen to W/C lecture. Good luck!

You can do it, I am for REG. I don't watch lectures, its just a waste of my time because I can read the material faster than the guy on the screen can say it to me.

Sounds like you need to be on the NINJA ELL plan!

AUD - Jan 9,13 Pass
REG - Aug 30,13 Pass
BEC - Oct 26,13 Pass

Looking back on my experience, I would have started cost accounting and variances sooner. I used Wiley and the book puts cost accounting and variances as the 2nd to last and last module. I needed more time than expected to get the concepts to stick and moved my test date back 2 weeks. I just remember Wiley's section on process costing was very confusing–prob the most frustrating topic I had to study for!
