Hey magic_8_ball,
I feel that Becker prepared me well for it. I was not surprised with my score because I didn't find anything not covered by Becker but I knew that I had a bunch wrong. As soon as I walked out of that exam I knew that I was on the 70s. You definitely have to know all your mneumonics, one of my communications was completely based on a mneumonic. It was something like “name the 4 of the 8…” and I remember a couple from the mneumonic and that helped me.
You shouldn't worry, I remember that it was my first exam and I was worried because I got around the mid-60s on my Practice Final.
Just remember to stay awake and possitive during the exam. It is a very long exam, the questions are not as hard as Becker's but the pressure and the lenght of the exam add the difference. If you manage to convince yourself that you can do it, you will have no problem at all. I believe that if you start second-guessing yourself, you will run into trouble because your mind will be distracted and it will affect your performance.
Good luck to you! let me know how it goes!
AUD-79 (3/4/10), REG 84 (4/9/10), FAR 84 (4/22/10), BEC 89 (5/7/10)
