You can do it! Since you were so close before, the second time will work.

Me too I have no freaking clue what to expect

I am in the same boat as you. I would love to pass also! I have two chances then I lose audit. Everyone is freaking me out, even more than FAR. I have over 100 hours to MCQ and trending at a 84. Good luck! Keep positive. Lets do this!

Please whatever youu do don't get fooled into thinking you were so close last time and study like you need 2 more points. You need 75 more points and need to study as if you'd never taken it before. I see too many people here who think (and say) gee I got a 73 last time I will cram for 2 weeks for my next sitting. Then come back here acting surprised their score dropped to a 68.

This is not to stress you out more, but to help you pass next time. If you studied 150 hours to get a 73, study 170 for your retake. Its a DRAG I know, trust me I've been there and done that…….but its how you knock them out.

I'm in the same boat with FAR! I took it for the second time in Oct. and got a 73! I am retaking it on January 9th. I use Roger, and just bought the Ninja MCQs to expose myself to some new material before going back and tackling the beast again. I am confident I can pass this time. In the meantime, I took BEC on 12/5. Crossing my fingers for us both! Keep your head up!

Don't stress. Being nervous while taking the test distracts you more. You've done your work, now is the final stretch and make sure you hone those points down. Also, review NPV and IRR yet? Because you need to do that.

mla11692 nailed it. Assume you're taking an entirely new exam… because you are. Study as if everything will be new. Don't fall into the trap of “brushing up”.

Thank you all for the support! I'm studying everything again and I really feel like a hate BEC! But I can't give up!

[cpa007]

I am freaking out too . Since yesterday after doing non stop MC for a week now i have no energy to study. I feel like vomiting and i am crying and crying asking god to help me. I am taking my exam on Saturday. I need to relax because stress wont help. I will probably read notes and read some written communication .

Same. Just received a 73 on BEC. Seriously worried.

Words can't explain how much I hate BEC, and I anticipated this being a soft finish. I'm getting more COSO questions wrong in MCQ than I am on anything else I've ever done in this process; I hate it! It seems like the Becker COSO questions have the most tenuous relation to the barely explained underlying concepts…and what makes me more annoyed is how completely manufactured the whole thing is. It's the separation and definition of highly integrated pieces in an arbitrary manner.

On the plus side, I'm getting most non-COSO/IT questions right.
