What are some good questions that i should master from becker?

All of them! I mean…BEC is so random, it's hard to say otherwise. A lot of people on here will suggest focusing on COSO, IT, and Cost Acctg. That will probably comprise the majority of your test. I'd at least work some progress tests and a select amount of questions from the other areas though. Good luck!

the best thing you can do is buy the Wiley Test Bank and run through MCQ.

I took BEC the first time using only Becker and felt very underprepared. You need to supplement Becker with something else, they simply don't cover everything.

I took the test yesterday and I'm pretty sure I passed, the Wiley Test Bank helped me out big time. Just keep running through questions, going back to the ones you missed and you'll be fine. The types of questions they use showed up exactly on my test, I was actually quite shocked.

You felt underprepared with Becker? I felt Becker was spot on for my test. There was really nothing I hadn't seen before. Not to say I know I passed, though…I still had to guess on a few!

I agree with the Wiley Test Bank suggestion. I supplemented with that, and found it to be worth the 90 bucks or whatever it was.

BEC is random. Go over your weaknesses. I'd recommend reading the IT dictionary in the back the day before the exam. In addition, I don't think Becker did a great job on ERM/COSO. Read a little more into the topics and don't just rely on the mnemonics

@banks94..I am using Becker. just started using Wiley, to prepare for the final run. some questions in Wiley are no mentions in Becker..did you also feel the same way. and on real exam, did u feel Wiley helped you on topics more? what were most tested topics…

@Shay Yeah, when I ran through Wiley MCQ, some would pop up that I had never even seen before, and I can think of at least 2 or 3 questions off the top of my head on the exam that I knew directly from the Wiley MCQ and never even saw in Becker. And with this test, every question matters.

The pain in the ass thing about Wiley is it makes you select the correct answer before you can see the explanation, but it's worth it. Becker is still helpful, but a combo of both helped me a ton.
