So I saved BEC for last thinking it was going to be the easiest of the tests, but I am honestly finding it the most difficult to go through compared with the other sections. I think Becker did a poor job with a descent amount of their lectures on topics. For example, in B2 with the working capital management units, the lectures made it seem so easy, but then when I got to the multiple choice, it was not related to anything from the lectures. I feel like I have a general understanding on most of the topics, but I believe Becker makes the questions a lot harder than the actual exam. I am taking my test December 10th and considering buying Ninja MC for final review. Would this be a good idea? And sorry to vent I had to do it somewhere, I am just really frustrated with the way Becker presents their lectures and then I get to the MC and they are not related at all. Just going to keep pushing through so I can finally end this dreadful process once and for all. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

FAR – 76
AUD – 77
REG – 85
BEC – 12/18

I somewhat agree. I saved BEC for last thinking it would be a breeze. My exam is two weeks out and I am having such a hard time reviewing with Becker. I have Ninja too and there is a lot of little details that Becker did not discuss. I'm a little worried about this test.

FAR - 78

AUD - 75

BEC - 83

REG - 82

I used Becker for the CPA exam too and BEC was the worst. I had the same experience as you and felt like Becker was a mess for this section. BEC is definitely felt like the wildcard of the exam but the random topics covered from Becker should prepare you for it though. I haven't used Ninja but have heard from people that it helps a lot.

I think this is in general the case because BEC is such a mix of topics that its hard to see a unified picture (like in FAR you can tie everything to the FS etc.) which makes it feel like an overall mess. I use Wiley and would have t say that I feel the same.
I don't have Ninja or Becker but I feel your pain and worry as I am taking it on the 6th. If you are a fast reader it may help you to go through Ninja notes and flashcards to help solidify some of the stuff, I contemplated this also but at this point going to just going to use what I have in Wiley and practice the MCQs TBS and WC and hope for the best. Good luck!

Took BEC with a fever, running to the bathroom twice during the exam to puke, did not finish the TBS (I think I left at least two unanswered). Rushed through the MCQs. Left the facility assured that I failed. Got the results back and passed with 82 – no idea how… These exams are very goofy like that.

Wow guys I hate to hear this! I thought Becker did an amazing job on BEC. I used Wiley the first time 18months ago for BEC and I scored a 77. I recently lost my credit for BEC due to FAR and getting a 73 on it. I bought Becker and studied for 18 days and took BEC and passed it with a 89. It was the only exam I have ever taken that I came out and said I crushed that and it was super easy. I felt like Becker did such a better job on BEC than Wiley did. I used the Ninja MCQ the first time with Wiley but I felt like the NINJA MCQ were way to hard and deep compared to the questions on the exam. I personally feel like Becker did a horrible job on FAR. I only used Wiley for my first attempt at BEC and then used Becker for everything else. I have passed all parts except FAR which I have in 3 days. I know everyone is different.
