So according to the site for NC, they mailed out BEC scores on 11/23… which means that I should receive tomorrow (Friday) in the mail. Sounds great huh?

Well, I take AUD on Tuesday. As you can see in my signature, I have yet to get a passing score. I took BEC and FAR in this window, and NC has said they’ll be closed today and tomorrow, which means FAR won’t be mailed at least until Monday… meaning I won’t get that score before I take AUD.

Well, when I get the BEC score in the mail tomorrow… should I open it? If it’s great news, I’ll want to celebrate (but will most likely study), but will be very positive going into the exam. If I didn’t pass BEC, it would feel devasting, especially with the FAR Beast not far behind. Do I want that negative attitude before the AUD?

Right now, I feel confident I passed both sections, but there are some things I remember from both that I could fail (did great on the FAR MCQ and the WC, but only filled out a few cells in each of the two sims). I felt confident this whole time that I passed them both.

Any advice? Would you open this close to your next exam? The curiousity kills me, but I’d hate to have bombed BEC only to turn around and do the same to AUD because of my bruised psyche.

BEC - Pass 10/2010
FAR - Pass 10/2010
AUD - Pass 11/2010
REG - Pass 05/2011

My two cents.. if you failed you'll be bummed.. if you passed you might be toooo excited that you won't be able to study.

Last Friday I found out I passed FAR. I was so excited I was on a two day high. I had to take AUD yesterday-WEdnesday.. it was slightly hard to study because I was soo excited for the passing of FAR..

It might be best NOT to look 🙂 EIther way you will put off a day or two of NOT studying, but it's so hard not to look.. good luck with your decision!! 🙂

I would look at it. I'm too curious. But if you feel it will mess with your confidence just wait till after aud

This is a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. All the pain-in-the-a$$ I've been since this journey began, I don't think I could look my wife and son in the eyes and say “daddy failed another section.”

This is the exact positive energy I needed!

BEC - Pass 10/2010
FAR - Pass 10/2010
AUD - Pass 11/2010
REG - Pass 05/2011
