My old study habits in college can’t help me pass this exam.

I studied BEC and became a jack of all trades. I knew the main points and the general concepts behind each section with a grasp of detail here and there.. but this didn’t cut it for me today. I should have studied harder and Mastered a handful of topics each chapter instead of loosely understanding them but I assumed I’d be okay. I really should have known better.

It was around 12 when I got my *** handled to me. Half of the stuff I seen was way way more complicated than I anticipated. And when I say the questions were complicated I mean they were layered concept. I got a question where I had to determine the effects of technology risk to lebron’s hairline to cost of debt to why danica patrick never smiles.. its was that hard. Wasn’t fun at all.. there was little opportunity to eliminate answers.

Another thing is the calculations… I didn’t know some of the formulas COLD. 2-3 formulas I skipped studying because I told myself it won’t show up :sadface: and I should have did more practice on calculating variable/absorption costing, direct/step method, etc. Next time I’m going to work the calculations backwards and inside out in case the exam ask me in a different way.

My testlet difficulty level: HARD, easy, medium.

The first testlet completely had me really conflicted. I thought it was suppose to be easy from what I’ve read on these boards.. this sucka was pretty sick.

The second testlet’s difficulty level dropped down to the basics… this is when I knew I bombed the first testlet…

I got one question that asked me ‘what was my favorite color’… it was that bad.

At this point I kept thinking about the change in difficulty level from 1 to 2.

My mind was not in a good place going into testlet three.

But testlet three wasn’t too bad. Had a mixture of medium, hard, and easy questions.

The WC wasn’t bad at all. I actually had fun doing them.

I’m not going to look at my score next week. I’m going to start on my next section.

Anyway, thats it for my experience. if you’re taking BEC soon goodluck and don’t underestimate this thing.

BEC: 66 | 69 | 7/23/2013
