What the hell should I do? I’m trying to hammer those MCQ on roger and wiley test bank. but I’m trending so low. Should I reschedule? Any suggestions? BEC is a b*#^&%!

Honestly for BEC I wouldn't be as concerned about trending score as I would be about knowing the concepts behind the questions / why you are getting them wrong. Are you understanding the formulas? Do you know how to apply them and what the questions are asking for etc… BEC is a B*^CH and the exam is a total crap shoot- however that being said I found the practice questions to be a lot harder / more involved than the ones I saw on the actual exam which were pretty straightforward for the most part. The practice questions did an excellent job preparing me for the exam however they did make me feel panicked that I had no idea what I was doing a lot of days. Hang in there and keep plugging away… also would highly suggest writing and re-writing the formulas until you can recite them in your sleep. GOOD LUCK!!!

and they ask me why I drink...

FAR- 61-next time I'll ask for lube instead of a calculator
REG-75- Never been so happy to see such a low grade
BEC- 8/11
AUD- 9/2

I've seen people go into the exam trending in the 50's and pass, I've seen people go in trending in the 80's and fail. Bottom line is acquire as much new knowledge as you can in the next 1.5 weeks, and when you feel like you can't do another MCQ, do 20 more.

I am having the same issue. I still have 2 more sections to get through for my 12/10 exam and my trending scores are not good. I am watching Roger lectures, taking notes (although I'm not sure why as this doesn't seem to do anything for me), using Roger mcq and Ninja mcq. Luckily I have next week off and will be studying full time.

My trending with Ninja was 59% when I took BEC and I got a 78. I don't think you can really go off what your trending score is. Keep plugging away.

I don't find a huge importance in the trending score. I worked through all the questions in AUD and was trending in the 70's the first time around–by the time you work through them and get them all correct at least one time your trending score spikes..it doesn't even matter if you are scoring high %'s while plugging away at getting them all correct. For instance, like I said I started first time around in the mid 70's…when I cycled back through to my missed questions I was scoring pretty poorly..high 60's to low 70's…it didn't matter at all to my trending score..by the time I got them all answered correctly once my trending score was 96%. It wasn't a great depiction, in my opinion, of where I truly was.

I'm finding the exact same pattern with my REG…first time around low 70's now I'm in the 80's..haven't quite answered them all correctly yet but I'm sure when I do I will be back in the 90's. So don't stress about it–it isn't the end of the world to have a low trending score–it may just mean you haven't worked through all the MCQ's

FAR - 78
REG - 72,74,71...please just go away REG nobody likes you!
BEC - 82
AUD - Aug 16

Thank you all for your responses, encouragement and support. I have decided to continue hammering those MCQ and keep my test on Dec 9th. I'll keep you posted. I plan to take 3 days PTO prior to testing date. So hopefully that will help me too. Thank you!!!
