    I too just got a 74 on BEC in Texas. I walked out of there feeling better than I did after the 2 sections that i passed (AUD, REG) last year and I got a 74! I felt a little shakey in financial management, but not 56 worth! guess I need to go back and study my ROI more. I am using Becker and after the test I came home and searched their info for XBRL, and I found it on page 29 (of 92) in their update down loads… I only got to page 25 before I almost slipped into a coma. Better luck next time, I think I can be ready to retake next month.

    Frustrated, I passed REG with an 80 last year and I used Becker. I found the Final Review simulations to be helpful.

    Tough break TXwannaB… I used Becker for BEC as well and I felt it was quite sufficient.. you just have to master the hw questions & work ALL the supplementals!

    You’ll beat it next time!

    Took FAR for the first time with Becker review and got a 74. Any suggestions on how much time I will need before I take it again? Also, should I stay with Becker or try something new?

    Got my first exam with a simulation coming up, when using the simulation software and are filling in journal entries, if you don’t use a row for the journal entry do you have to fill it in with “No entry required” or does leaving it blank equate to the same thing? Every little time saver helps! Thanks!

    Hi Kankur, I have the same question as yours. I scheduled my BEC exam next week but don't feel like I am fully prepared. My NTS for BEC will be expired in 12 days. I really want to apply for a new NTS this month so that I still can take this exam in this test window. Should I wait after the NTS expired or can I get a new NTS NOW?
    If I don't show up for the exam, am I allowed to get the new NTS and take BEC in the same test window? I am planning to take it at the end of August. Thank you very much for your help!
