    I have 3 weeks until I take BEC, is it possible to tackle this in 3 weeks with a full time job?

    What is the best course of action to take on this exam as far as studying goes? I started writing the ninja notes but I don’t feel like it’s an efficient use of my time.

    Should I just go for reading through ninja notes a couple of times and hammering a ton of mcq?

    Any tips appreciated.

    Just an FYI why I am taking it so fast, I started studying for ref to take in December when I remembered I paid for a BEC coupon, checked when I had IGN scheduled and realized it expired in October so I can't really push it back.

    Is it your first time taking BEC ? How far have you studied (chapters that you covered ) ?

    2nd time taking it, but the first time was about a year ago so it might as well be my first.

    I have pretty much just written ninja notes for corp governance, performance measures, risk management, financial planning and analysis, and half of the economics.

    I have take about 60 mcq.

    I'm taking 4 weeks for BEC & working full time.
    I use Becker and it's 6 “sections”. Each section is about 70 pages.

    My plan is to read through the whole thing and write out notes as I go. I think that'll leave me with 2 weeks remaining. MCQ for a week, and then simulations / go back and re-read problems for a week.

    Day before–I'll re-read my notes.

    Not sure how GOOD of a plan that is…but that's the plan!

    I can't study for more than 2 hours at a time, so if you have a better attention span and fully utilize your weekends, I think you should have enough time in 3 weeks.

    My boss did all 4 parts in 2 months, so that averages to 2 weeks each. (Granted she's really smart and wasn't working at the time… but BEC is one of the ‘shorter' ones!)

    GL!

    I may try reading splitting my studying like an hour or two in the morning then 2-3 hours at night.

    I am thinking of reading through the book this week(cpaexcel or I have a 2015 rogers cram book), reading through ninja notes a couple times each week, and then doing two weeks of mcq and hoping that's good enough.

    Oh also going to try to listen to ninja audio while I work, probably won't help too much but I figured if I can remember one thing a day it could be helpful.
