Should I take my exam at 5:00 pm after work? Have anyone ever took the exam after a workday? I’m thinking about schedule my BEC exam on May 30 at 5:00pm.

I would say “Heck no”. You want to be fresh and alert. After a full day of work, I don't think anyone would be in their peak mental form. Unless of course you work at a nap factory.

I say no also. If you can't get the day off try for a Saturday. If that doesn't work ask your employer that you may take the exam first thing in AM and then work the remaining day.

No way would I ever want to have had one of my exams after a day at work! I'd be so burnt out!! And I don't want to be finishing an exam at 8-9pm.

See my first aud score? Tried to squeeze it in on an extended lunch break. Not a good idea!

You won't be at your best if you're coming off a full work day, and you want to be at your very best!

I agree with the others. Even on a Saturday, 5 PM is tough.

Two weeks ago, I took FAR on a Saturday at 5 PM. I spent the morning review and pounding through MCQs. By 1 PM, my brain was completely melted and I felt like I had already taken the test. I had to take a break and just stepped away for an hour – not looking at anything. It was tough. Luckily (?), around 3 pm, they called me to ask if I wanted to take it early, which I did, as not to continue to exhaust myself. All future tests are scheduled for 8 AM.

B: 83! (expires 2/20)
A: 56,64,70,74 - Uff da!, 83!
R: 70, 78!
F: 76 expired, 69, 2/10

I've done that before. I wouldn't recommend it. You come out 4 hours later and completely exhausted. The one time I did it (out of scheduling necessity) I didn't pass.

B - 83 Done
A - 88 Done
R - 81 Done
F - 77 Done

Ethics - Done
Attest Hours - Done

I bet there is people that had done it, but why do it if you have other options?. I think is risky. Take it a Saturday or even better.. take a Monday off so you have the whole weekend to review, relax

Muhammed Ali probably didn't spar with anyone else day of the fight 🙂

Relax and take the exam early to mid afternoon…
