Two weeks till far… took Becker final exam last night to see where I’m at, granted I did it in like an hour and 45 min and I was tired I got 60%.

Should I be real worried? Becker progress tests I can easily get 75% plus consistently. I think they put really tricky questions in the final exam to make you study harder, which is working! I’m nervous now lol

Anyone have a similar experience and get a reality check after taking first becker final?

Did you just do the MCQ testlets or the simulations as well? 1:45:00 seems pretty quick to get through the entire exam……

I wouldn't say you should be WORRIED, but definitely make the most of the final two weeks to review. It's difficult to really place where you are given that you said you sort of blew through the exam and did it while you were tired. Most say you can add at least 10 points to your Becker Final Exam score to come up with what your actual CPA exam score will be; that would put you around a 70, which could be closer to a 75 if you had devoted your full attention to it.

So, I wouldn't be worried, but I definitely wouldn't be complacent. Given that you have two weeks left to review, it seems that you are at a reasonable place: you don't seem to be in over your head, but you definitely still have more review to do if you want to ensure that you pass.

That happened to me for AUD. I took a practice exam on WTB 2 weeks before and got 61%. I got so angry and upset! That motivated me to really crack down for the last two weeks of study and you can see in my sig how that turned out 🙂

Two weeks is plenty of time to improve on your score. Identify those weak spots and work them out to gain those extra points!
