I am currently studying using CPAexcel, and I am scheduled to take BEC on May 7, 2012. Per my exam plan with CPAexcel I should be done with all lessons by April 29, which leaves me only about a week to review. I have the NINJA Notes and I plan on reviewing my weak areas once I take the Simulated Exam. Is this feasible or should I push my exam back a week or so to review more? I have been studying since early March about 57 total days. Based on my rough assessment on how I have done so far I have done okay on the exam questions per section gaining a passing score on all lessons except maybe 6 or 7 out of 137. I really need some insight on this. If you have any suggestions please share.

BEC: 71(05/13), retake July 1, 2012

I studied about as long as you for BEC. I left myself two weeks to review but found myself forgetting more than retaining. Take the test. I don't think anyone ever feels completely prepared. I think one week of review is enough, provided you can put in at least a few hours a day for that week.

I agree, you should get in there and take the test, the longer you you tend to draw items out the more you start questioning what you are doing. You just have to be confident and get in there. You'll get'er done.

@tdavi – are you taking any other exams besides BEC this window? If not, reschedule! There's nothing wrong with rescheduling… a few days extra to study could very well be the difference between a 72 or 75 ! The rescheduling fee is worth every penny.

Class of 2012

I am going to give myself until Monday to make a decision. At this point I'm really not sure.

I would take the test. You have plenty of time to finish up the MCQ's and your review for the test. Try to finish up everything including the practice tests by the first or second. This will give you five days to review, which will be more than enough time. If I remember correctly, my final review for BEC was only two days.

BEC - 85
REG - 77
AUD - 73, 83
FAR - 68, 89
