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?

AUD 77 (6/2018)

REG 77 (9/2018)

FAR 61 (12/2018), 84 (1/2019)

BEC 88 (2/2019)

Studying time using Becker (4-6 hours)

AUD: 16 days

REG: 13 days (skipped units 7 and 8 and did only flashcards instead)

FAR: 28 days, 12 days, skipped lectures for both attempts

BEC 13 days

[2019 is my year]

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.

AUD - 91
BEC - 93
FAR - 79
REG - 85

Done for good!  Adios!!!
