I started studying for BEC last week and I just finished the third unit on Becker. My problem with the MCQ is the conceptual questions. I have a 74% average on the first try on all the MCQ I’ve done so far and probably 2/3 of the questions I get wrong are conceptual. Most of the time I narrow down the choices to 2, and find that both answers are right depending on how I interpret the question, and after I look at the right answer it’s exactly what I thought it’d be based on one of the two interpretations. I feel like some of these questions are subjective.

I don’t have any issues with the calculation-based questions. So far BEC has been the easiest out of the 4 sections, but I get discouraged when I get a conceptual question wrong. Any advice on how to improve on this?

Just do a ton of the MCQs. I would be careful not to over-emphasize calculations to the detriment of Chapters 1 and 6 (the more conceptual chapters). They can be tricky, but the more MCQs you do, the more you'll get a feel for what they're looking for.
