The Becker final exams were much harder than what I experienced. There were only two questions that I noticed that were not covered by my materials. One was an IT item the other was a costing item. There may have been other IT related things that weren’t covered, but my personal knowledge of IT as a computer nerd was enough to get me through all but the one question mentioned above. My first two testlets were tough but doable. I felt like I was around the 70-75% mark on those. The third testlet struck me as a joke. If I didn’t know this section isn’t adaptive I’d say I dropped down to the easiest testlet available. I felt extremely confident on 26 of the 30 questions.

Now the waiting continues (still stuck waiting on REG wave 1 release).

so how many equations and ratios did you memorize for the exam? How much would you say was theory vs equations?

AUD - 81, BEC - 74, 80, FAR - 82, REG - 81
Done!

There were several calculations, but nothing on the level that the Becker software had me fearing. I only had one ratio calculation, which I of course forgot the ratio to. I had it down to ‘do I put in item X or item Y….I know it is only one of them”. Lucky for me I guessed right.

Overall it was probably 75% theory 25% calculation. That might be a little skewed in my mind since many/most of the calculations that they did have were very short and simple.

Well – you gave me some motivation there. I am taking my exam tomorrow – and I feel like I forgot all the formulas 🙂 – I am getting a brain freeze

AUD 79 (EXPIRED) 86
BEC 69, 74, 75 (EXPIRED) 77
REG 84
FAR 74, 77

Sherriaf – I had a difficult time memorizing the formulas, but I was good at recalling them once I saw the fact pattern and the numbers. The formula just seemed to click. Good Luck.
