    Why do i feel like BEC is much harder than FAR and AUD at this point. I am through 400 MCQ and trending a 68% and i only have 10 days left.

    FAR - Passed 4/2016
    AUD - Passed 11/2015

    No that’s not too long. I think I’m going to end up studying around 6 weeks but I would’ve loved another 2.

    4-6 for BEC. I am retaking tomorrow and put about 3 weeks. Trending right at 75 percent. I am committing my 98 flashcards that made last night to short term memory tonight

    Thanks! I'll keep going with my plan. I was able to do the same thing for audit and felt comfortable for test day (I'll find out tuesday how i really did). BEC is just a lot harder to study for. I'm trying to get through all of the becker HW for chap2 between today and this sunday. Sounds like it will be a rough weekend for me though since chap 2 is a lot of formulas 🙁

    What's the best way to go about memorizing all these formulas? I made flashcards on Brainscape, but the one thing I noticed is that each review course words them differently. I made the flashcards from all the formulas in Roger's book, but some of the explanations in Ninja word them different and it gets confusing.

    I swear this test is going to be the death of me. I'm sick of getting 50's and 60's on almost every quiz. The only sections I feel comfortable with are Governance and IT.

    Yeah, I'm with you guys. I'm consistently trending 68-70 and can't seem to improve. I have 30 more MCQs until I've seen them all at least once. Then I'm just going to keep hammering through the ones I missed and hope to reach the review phase prior to my exam next Tuesday.

    BEC is making me feel really stupid. I have already studied for 50 hours at least and I can't get better than 50% on the homework. I don't feel like I am retaining any of this. I don't know how the passing rate is the highest for this section.

    @marqzho I'm glad I'm not the only one lol.

    @perezc3910 I'm at around 70 hours and feel like I haven't retained anything. I don't know how Roger figures 80 hours should be enough for this one. I'm trending 63% after about 600 mcq with about 2 1/2 weeks until my exam. The only thing that's keeping me from completely losing it, is that I had similar results with FAR. I was averaging 58% and trending 67% before my exam and managed to pass. I feel that FAR and BEC have the biggest discrepancies between Ninja and the actual exam.

    RE2PECT, I haven't bought MCQ yet. I plan to do so maybe next week. I have read on many threads that NINJA can be a lot harder than the actual exam. I have about 5 weeks before my exam and I don't feel like I know anything. I really feel like the past 3 weeks have been a total waste. I don't know how people can say that they have passed doing Ninja MCQ alone.

    I've seen people on here say they solely used Roger and passed all 4 sections, but I don't think it would be enough for me, especially for BEC. I've already come across a bunch of questions in Ninja that weren't covered by Roger. His lectures are great and I like the layout of his books, but I think Ninja MCQ are what got me the passing score for FAR and hopefully AUD.
