    Becker CPA Review Mock Exam Score vs Actual CPA Exam Score

    I figured since so many people ask, it’d be easier to have it all in one thread for reference. Good idea?

    Calculating this by taking the average MCQ*60% and average sim*40%

    @AG12thman I'll just say that this is a risky strategy for a few reasons. 1 if you don't have a solid foundation on the underlying material you may not really understand why the answer is what it is without reading the book beforehand.

    But really secondly, at least for me, if you do the problems again, you may just be recalling the answers as opposed to actually learning it since you'll have done everything once before already. Even though the second time around is the most important for understanding, for my first go around, I try and make sure I have the full background going into a MCQ and that way I'm not just remembering the answer.

    Considering you've had some issues not doing all of Becker before, shortcutting may not be the best method.

    I schedule my tests, and then work backwards to make a study plan. Build in lets say 8 days of review, and then I budget out 4 days per Becker chapter. That way I keep myself accountable and on a schedule since I'm always progressing towards a goal

    FAR- taken 8/11/16....now the wait begins
    AUD- scheduled 9/8/16
    BEC- scheduled 10/9/16
    REG-scheduled 12/10/16

    Live a few years like most people won't, to live the rest of your life like most people can't.

    I don't remember precisely, but I think I was betweem 75-80 on all of the becker sections; there wasn't a whole lot of variation. I remember being a little lower on FAR and a little higher on REG.

    I think the practice exams are a waste of time and can hurt your confidence beforehand. Becker's actual mcq are more representative to the actual exam than the paragraphs they ask in the Becker Final. But hey, that's just my opinion

    BEC 76
