    BEC is much easier than AUD. Don't give it up!

    It seems tougher to study for, especially with all of the equations.

    You tell yourself that you never EVER want to see a score again like that and study twice as hard.

    FAR- 77
    AUD -49, 71, 84
    REG -56,75!
    BEC -75

    I'm going to print out my score and carry it around, just so that I am reminded of how much harder I should be working.

    Thanks!

    Buy yourself a good dinner tonight. Go to bed early tonight to get enough rest so that you are ready to study for BEC the next day. Focus on the questions you answered wrong. Don't worn yourself too much. Make sure to get the magic red panty like everyone else on the forum.

    Whyme….

    I know how you feel. I have REG next Tuesday and I don't want to know my BEC score until then… I know I failed and but just having hope makes it less tense to study… I am scared to check my email!!!!!

    Not to mention the fact that I just don't want to study… I found myself so lazy for this exam, FAR was such a trip for me… honestly I just want to go to sleep and not study, fail, and take it again next window…

    But, there are things we just have to do and as we took this challenge we knew there where ups and downs…. We will just have to deal with it and move on!

    B - 62, 70, 72, 79!!!
    A - 68, 81
    R - 70, 82
    F - 84

    @Jokami You are right, we knew this wouldnt be easy. Next time I def. will not check my score until after the next exam. I guess failing and facing some adversity will make it just that much sweeter when we pass. Good luck with your studies!!!

    You cannot change the 71 so don't let it turn your BEC into a 71. Take a deep breath, know that you are already prepared for Auditing (largely) next time and pour yourself into the BEC. The only thing worse than failing audit would be to let it cause you to fail BEC.

    Someone else hit it on the head, I look at my old score reports daily. If I knew I wouldn't lose them I would use them as bookmarks.

    CPA Genie……are you INSANE? BEC easier than Auditing?….in what dimension of time and space? I'm taking BEC on Monday and I am just having a time with the Wiley computations. Hopefully the real exam is easier on the computations.

    BEC easier than Auditng…for me at least. There's not as much detail for BEC. It helps that I like econ and have taken a macro course not more than 2 years ago.

    Starting all over.

    FAR - 11/27/13
    AUD - 1/4/14

    I so know how you feel! I got a failing grade for AUD (68) and I have my BEC exam Monday… I am not motivated at all this entire time to study for this exam to be completely honest I will not be surprised if I fail BEC. I have been cramming A LOT the last two weeks and yet I still don't feel ready. BEC has a lot more computations (in my opinion) than FAR & AUD and I am like “WHAT?!” … back to Wiley I go…

    BEC has sooo many computations, it's ridiculous. Cost accounting is killing me slowly. I felt great going into audit, I feel terrible going into BEC. We shall see what happens I guess. Good luck on Monday!!!
