Hey All-

Been working my butt off studying (I get up at 6am just to study, work all day from around 8:30am and then come home around 7pm to do more MC till about 11pm. I have no life and was hoping for a better outcome for my first Becker test exam for AUD…my test is Thursday and I want to get my scores to be consistently in the 80s. I am going to study my weak areas today and then take the other practice exam on Sunday. I will post those scores on this thread tomorrow. I’m so so nervous about this test…I want to pass so bad and I’m afraid that I’m going to get a ridiculously hard test on test day.

As I was doing the exam, I felt confident (like I knew 95% of the answers) but then I got these scores

Testlet #1 – 83%

Testlet #2 – 90%

Testlet #3 – 73%

Simulations:

Risk Tab – 100% (10 out of 10)

Internal Control Tab – 100% (5 out of 5)

Tickmarks Tab – 100% (8 out of 8)

Statistical Sampling Tab – 90% (9 out of 10)

Comparative Financial Statements Tab – 75% (12 out of 16)

Government Auditing Tab – 40% (2 out of 5)

Research Tab – 0% (0 out of 1)

Can you guys give me some advice on whether these scores are in line with what I should expect on test day? I’ve been supplementing with Wiley and frankly I think that test bank is the one that’s going to help me pass. The questions they have are more difficult and tricky. Becker’s questions seem more like they help you understand the material while Wiley’s questions test you on your knowledge.

AUD- 97 1x

When I took Audit, I scored a 74% (calculated 60% MCQs and 40% sims) on the Becker Final exam #2. Three days later, I took the exam and passed with an 83. I thought Becker did a great job on teaching Audit (a lot better than BEC). Looking at your scores, you should be fine. Just keep doing MCQs until you take the exam.

Can you tell me your scores for the REG Becker final exam and how they compared to the actual exam?

[jasonrobbins]

That's funny you ask because I was just trying to do the same comparison…but since I updated my Becker Software, they were all deleted…

I do remember that I scored about the same on the Becker final exam as I did on the real thing. The Reg exam comes down to studying the SIMs in my opinion. If you study both Becker and Wiley SIMs until youre blue in the face, you'll pass REG. I do want to emphasize that Wiley SIMs replicate the real ones…Becker SIMs are nothing like the real exam.

AUD- 97 1x
REG- 81 1x
BEC- 79 1x
FAR- 88 1x

Ok- so I just took my second Becker Final Test for AUD and…well…WTF??!! That test was SO FREAKING HARD…if that's anything like the real test I'm screwed…

After I answered a question, I had to sometimes go look it up in the book (because that helps me reaffirm my understanding but I wouldn't change my selected answer to keep the score consistent but still)…I felt like I was guessing 1/3 to 1/2 of the time…

Here are the scores…no idea how I got a 96 on the final one…mostly all guesses…

Testlet #1 – 80%

Testlet #2 – 80%

Testlet #3 – 96%

Avg: 83 which is the same avg score from yesterday

So demoralized…with my REG exam, the test was much harder than the Becker final exams…the 10+ point difference from Becker and the real thing was not applicable to mine…

Anyone who took REG & AUD care to give me some input as to the comparability (i.e. did you think the AUD was more comparable to the final becker tests vs what was in Becker for Reg)?

Was hoping to actually go outside of my apt for a few hours today…looks like that won't be the case…

I'll post my actual test scores when I get them

AUD- 97 1x
REG- 81 1x
BEC- 79 1x
FAR- 88 1x

DONE!

This is interesting that you guys have scored so highly on the practice exams and are worried about the actual test. In my experience I have always thought that the actual CPA exam was MUCH easier than the practice exams and quesitons in the various test banks. I've used CPA excel and gleim software for MCQ questions and never averaged more they 60-70% correct but somehow my exam scores have came back a lot higher than what I was averaging on MCQ.

Just took reg yesteray and was in the same boat. 60-70% on practice problems walking into exam. We'll see – fingers crossed.

same here. never got above the 60s on Becker and Wiley Test Bank for exams that I scored in the 80s on.

AUD-84, REG-75, BEC-84, FAR-77
