@avgcpa–I'm sorry for you loss. Thank you for sharing that information with us. I would have never known they actually had the ability to feel compassion for the test takers. Good luck on your exam!

@zack–There are ratios as well, but not extensive and they are your typical debt to equity ratio, current ratio, etc. IMO Flashcards and quizzing are going to be your best bet for studying for BEC. I would look through any written communication examples you find just to get a feel for what kind of stuff they are looking for, but I wouldn't practice writing any. As long as you can put together a cohesive paragraph and you've learned the concepts from your studying you shouldn't have any problem with written communication. Learning the terminology, the economic effects, the ratios, and cost accounting calculations are going to take you a long way. There is a crossover from BEC to AUD so I would suggest taking AUD next so you still have some of the concepts down. It's not much, but it's a start.

Ok here is a conceptual question I got right but when I read the answer it was not the same as my reasoning:

Since the effective rate is higher than the coupon rate, the effective interest will be greater than the cash paid to the bondholders. If the stated rate of interest on a bond is less than the effective rate, the bond will sell at a discount. The interest paid is the coupon rate times the maturity value of the bond. The effective interest is the effective interest rate times the carrying value of the bond.

I thought the stated rate was the coupon rate so if a bond is issued for more than the stated rate that it is a Premium, not a Discount as the answer says…maybe I am just mixed up…help??

I did not have a list. I just remembered how to do each of the journal entries. You probably passed though, so don't give up hope. When I took FAR, I thought I failed because the exam was easy and I passed. I even totally screwed up one of the SIMS by over thinking, so there is hope. When do you get your score?
