Hi guys,

Took BEC last month: 71

Took REG 10 days ago: 71

I definitely felt better about how I did on BEC and thought I did TERRIBLE on REG, so why both 71s?

I know that a 71 doesn’t mean 71/100 points, but does having a 71 mean that with just a little more knowledge, I could’ve gotten 75 and passed?

Brah u srs
FAR - 85
BEC - 77
AUD - 71 -> 61 -> 71 -> 67
REG - 75

Just study again like you scored a 50. I received a 73 in BEC and restudy everything again like it was my first time. You can skip the video lectures the second time but make it up with extra mcqs. GL

It is just as likely that you understood some things well and just flopped on exam day/made silly mistakes as it is that you guessed correctly and your ‘true' understanding is really in the 60's. These exams are quite variable so don't make the oft-made mistake of thinking “I'm only a few points away, I'll just review for a week and try my luck again”. That may work, but are you willing to bet $300 on that for each section you need to retake?

While you restudy you will be surprised at how much more sense everything makes. Since you already have a base understanding in all the topics, you will be able to pick up on more of the details than before while reinforcing to the point of concrete those topics that you were just okay with. Good luck!

BEC 86 (08/30/11)
FAR 84 (10/13/11)
REG 88 (11/08/11)
