BEC–My exam was brutal!! I cried during the exam, put my head in my hand and began to cry. I got frustrated because i knew i was going to fail. My recommendation…make sure you do every question and supplemental question..yes i know some are in the 100's but it will tremendously help you. Do not forget to look at the technical addendum on beckers site. CPAEXAMHELP.com offers free bec questions you can try. Lastly whatever you do, don't give up like i did. i was pissed off when i got my score of friggin 71. If i would have stayed focused and just tried, sucked it up, with no tears. I probably wouldn't be studying right now for a retake sometime in july!! For my retake, i will be doing becker backwards. IMO ch 1 and 2 were easy.
I took AUD on 5/28. I seen between 5-10 questions that were verbatim from Becker..probably will be test questions and thrown out. LOL. I couldn't tell if they were getting harder or not. In fact, I have only been able to tell on FAR. Reg seemed of the same caliber and since i passed that one, I am not worried about them seeming to be all the same. My SIMs weren't easy or hard. They were just ok. My WC were ok also. My research…one was just asynine, I was like what??? I searched and searched but then I gave up and went to sim #2. I finished with 4 minutes to spare as I wrote out the entire std report, review, and compiliation before the exam. As well as the skeletal for each report. Followed by mneumonics so I wouldn't have to say it in my head. Overall, I just dont know. But I sure hope AUD is released second like it was last month!!!
You know what it is that you need so I will not touch about reviewing CD's. I totally am glad that I took the time beforehand to write down the skeletal, std, review and comp. report. it totally helped me. But once again that is a personal preference.
Finally, don't dwell on the fail. Hit BEC hard and heavy. Then give yourself 1-2 days of mental relaxation, then go at audit again. Dont put yourself in a failing BEC category when you haven't even sat for an exam yet. I found out 2 days before my BEC test that i had failed FAR but I didn't allow that to deter me from taking the exam. Once I was finished with the exam…I was finished I moved on to the next as I had scheduled all 4 of my exams back in jan.
In my opinion a 64 means you have a good grasp of the material, just add on to that and follow thru with a pass!!
Good luck
