Does anyone have a good source to practice BEC simulations other than AICPA practice test(already used that)? I have roger and wiley, but neither one emphasized simulations enough. The ones that were there were not relevant at all. Willing to spend money too as long as it’s somewhat helpful come exam day.

@slowreader, same is here.I got weaker in TBS and WC. Am looking for a solution. Hope some one will help us. Thanks for the post!

I took BEC under the new format on Aug 22 and finally passed with an 81. I had received 2-74's before under the OLD format (no sims).

I used the AICPA SIMS on their website right before the exam which probably got me a few pts. I know you mentioned you used that.

Know the concepts inside and out. I would not sweat the SIMS- but def. leave 1 hour for them. The WC can get dangerous b/c I have gotten some really foreign topics before that were not covered in my review materials.

You should look at some examples in your study program. I have roger and there is like 50 examples at least.

@Shwan in Va, Thanks. By the way, how well should I have to do on TBS to pass from your experience? like 2/3 sims enough? Thanks again!

Fbless-

There are definitely 4 SIMS on exam and I *think* only 3 count but you need to confirm that part.

I never got a score report for my pass, but I know I did well for sure on MCQ and WC I did above average. For the SIMS I probably got half the points or slightly above half. There is no way I got full points on any of the SIMS. I had to make educated guesses on a handful.

BEC was difficult for me I got 2-74's and finally got an 81 I found out last week. Go to AICPA website and check if they update the SIMS every now and then b/c those helped me immensely. I really did not practice any other SIMS outside of the AICPA website or did I practice any WC. You just don't know what your going to get. The exam I got most recently with the pass definitely played into my strengths
