    So i passed REG with an 81 in january and i believe i was trending around an 83 before test day. With BEC im currently trending at 90 but my average score is in the low 60s. Ninja got me over the hump for REG so i am a full believer, just a bit nervous about BEC, I used wiley self study to original material, then i have been pounding out BEC mcqs for about 70 hours in a 4 week span.

    I believe my average score is so low because i struggled for about the first week when I was first attempting the problems. I just hope i am not memorizing the material. I have looked at CPAforfree.com as well and those questions are worded completely different.

    Exam is 6/9 and could use some support from candidates who passed BEC using Ninja.

    REG - 64(just wiley), 81 (Wiley & Ninja MCQs)
    BEC - 72, 74, October 2016
    AUD - August 2016
    FAR - January 2017

    I'm taking BEC on 6/10 and currently trending 74 and averaging 63 after a little over 2000 attempts. I feel BEC and FAR have the biggest differences in actual vs trending scores. Some of the BEC questions are so in depth and out of left field I'm hoping there's nothing on the actual exam that will surprise me. For FAR I was averaging 58 and trending 67 after about 2500 attempts and pulled off a 75. I'm hoping for the same with BEC, but I'm still not comfortable with cost accounting and don't think I ever will be.

    yeah its really a mind game at this point. The Wiley test bank is no match for Ninja. After going through every question in Wiley and watching every lecture I still struggled with Ninja the first week. Its really is a game of luck when it comes to these exams. The complex ratio and cost problems are no fun, but it seems like its a consensus vote that these problems won't show up a ton the actual exam. 1 or 2 problems won't create a failing score.

    In a similar boat. Trending 89 on BEC with 2 days before test and 2900 MCQs down. Only a 68% average, though.

    Just curious, about how many hours do you all have in? I have 85 on NINJA, and put in about 10-15 hours on outside note review and skimming books in trouble areas.

    BEC - 80
    FAR - 81 (third attempt)
    AUD - waiting for score 8/23
    REG - 09/08/2016 - going to cram and wing it

    I have about 60 hours into wiley for lectures and problems and another 70 hours into NInja MCQs. I also spent some time reviewing past exams that my buddy gave me from Rodger. Also wasted some time looking at freecpareview.com. I think those problems are out of left field but still good to see new questions.

    I am worried about memorization, but i am trending around 100 for econ, CG, and IT. high 80s for the other sections.

    I was trending at 84 for REG and got an 81…

    So not too sure what to think. I guess its better to be trending at 93 than 68.

    KSOZE- I'm around 120 which includes watching videos, reading the text, writing out the Ninja notes, and doing mcq. I don't have an accurate number on my Ninja hours since I sometimes have to stop in the middle of a session to tend to my son or get busy at work while trying to squeeze in some questions.

    Awesome, I figured 90-100 hours should be about right for me for this exam (Finance major), but between cost accounting and some of these oddball IT questions, I'm really trying to cram ~10-15 hours before my test Wednesday.
