I really have no idea where to begin with these. I am using Becker and have worked the Simulations but I do not see where they are really helping me. Has anyone found a good way to prepare for these?

Honestly, the best way to prepare for these is to take BEC last, because the written communications can cover topics from other sections.

But I took BEC before taking REG and FAR, and I did well on the written communications portion because I had accounting experience from work to draw on. Otherwise, it can be a little difficult to write on a topic if you don't know anything about it. But considering that the written communications is only 15% of the total score, and its graded more heavily on technical writing than content…so it should be easy enough to fake your way through it…

I barely prepared for the sims, its a waste of time. As long as you have good format with an intro, middle paragraphs and conclusion you should be fine. They may not all be BEC topics but as long as you address the topic your answer doesn't have to be completely correct.

Just practice the writing period. If you send a lot of emails at work that might help—but basically they are looking for an organized memo that flows well. I will say this—I've written 6 of them between FAR/AUD/BEC, I've probably actually knew what I was talking about on 3 of the 6(and even then, I wasn't exactly wowing them with information)—and I've always scored higher on WC.

Its not so much content but rather structure and organization. I sure wish REG still had em!
