Does anyone think that it’s possible to pass BEC using the Becker Final Review alone? Being that I only have 3 weeks to study and that I work full-time, I don’t think that I will be able to cover all of the material by listening to the lectures and going through the Becker textbook.
Thanks!

Sure, it's possible. I think there are certain people who could pass a CPA exam without any studying. I might could have done it on REG, the others- no chance. That being said, if you have a strong background in general business/economic/IT topics, then sure, go for it. I don't think you'll find anyone here that will tell you it's likely you'll pass with just a final review. None of the exams (including BEC) are easy. You should have an idea of how likely it is if you've taken other exams already. If you're ok with the roughly $200 to sit if you don't pass, I really don't know that there is much harm in trying.

That's pretty much what I did, + MCQs and all the sims… no need for lectures and textbook.
However, I would note that you should write down all of the formulas you see in the Final Review Book because the mcqs on the actual exam test computationally on the “basic” versions of the formulas a presented in the final review book, rather than the multistep processes in the mcqs

This isn't directly related to the review question, but just BEC in general.From reading this forum *edit: (https://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/bec-18-q1-exam-thoughts/) regarding BEC topics , generally people say that IT and COSO are tested a lot (equivalent of Govt and nonprofits being tested on FAR). I am also just starting out studying BEC. Would be the 1st time taking this exam, so I don't personally know. But I imagine even if you are using a review book alone, make sure you understand the above topics.

FAR: 76
REG: Currently studying
