Wingo!

Found out I passed BEC, with a 84, after studying for 8 days. Granted I have the luxury of studying full time, but if anyone would like a strategy to attempt the same I am more than willing to answer any questions.

Help me please.

I need you advise on BEC. I failed it twice… 🙁

FAR – 75
REG – 86
BEC – 70,68
AUD – Ninja in training

I'm interested in your strategy. I just passed BEC but could use help coming up with a game plan to tackle FAR (got a 69). Planning a retake at the end of Q3 but won't be able to start studying until the end of July. Did you pass FAR quickly as well?

Thanks!

I need help. Just received my second failing BEC score 😞

Congratulations! It's a feat! My friend, too managed to pass the BEC by studying for approximately two weeks. She could do so because of the study partner that she had found, and a really strict study time table!

congrats bro nice humble brag.. way to make everyone else look bad.. haha just playin. did you not sleep at all..? or cook/eat..? did you overdose on caffeine or other aids everyday? did you lock yourself up for 16 hours a day? theres like 100 formulas for ratio analysis / financial management/ econ so am i missing something.. just why would you torture yourself like that if you really did all that lol

First, I flipped through the book and wrote down all of the formulas on notecards. This came out to around 150 cards. From there I memorized a certain amount each day (I think it was 24). And when I say memorize, I mean MEMORIZE. I was pretty obsessive about it and the day before the test I was able to go rapid fire through the deck.

In addition to the formulas, I spent the rest of my time reading through the Becker book. I have the benefit of being a recent college graduate, so a good amount of the financial/management accounting info was still fresh in my brain.

In a nutshell, I did 0 MCQs and dedicated most of my time to memorizing formulas and the overall themes of each chapter/module. Knowing those two areas also really helped with the memos.

I actually found a “format” for writing the memos, that was recommended to me by a friend. I'll post that below because I believe it was instrumental in getting my passing grade.
