Hi Guys,
New to NINJA here. Ive spent the past 3 weeks cramming MCQ’s for BEC (attempted the test once and failed with Roger). Ive done about 1,000 MCQ’s out of about 1,600 and I am on the RECON phase. What exactly does this mean? It shows 34%, at what percentage did you guys sit for the exam and pass?

Let me throw out the usual preface–everyone learns differently, etc.

In that vein, let me answer your question in a well different way.

IMO, NINJA MCQs greatest value is the quality of questions and their solution set. I used them exclusively to pass (insert obligatory “Not a paid endorsement” line here).

I never subscribed to the notion of focusing on quantity of hours spent studying. Rather, I spent no more than 4 hours a day. I focused on learning concepts by taking 20-question blocks for each of the 5 or 6 subsections. When I got 80% correct, I moved on.

Jeff's metrics and phases never did it for me. To me it's like focusing on a weight number when you're working out rather than a performance goal

So more to your question, if you budget 4 hours per day to study, give yourself 20-30 mins to review questions. Know why you got them wrong and why you got them right.
