One of the questions involved some weird math calculations. Becker and Bisk did not cover that topic. </p> <p>Thank you, Cindy! I passed BEC. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/bec-and-its-little-tricks#post-16173 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 11:16:30 +0000 skiw97 16173@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>Strider, I hope you passed. If you did get a 74, maybe give that section a little more focus next time. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/bec-and-its-little-tricks#post-16169 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 08:48:44 +0000 SSGG 16169@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>Thanks Dale, but unfortunately my exam got cancelled due to weather. </p> <p>Had anyone faced with same kind of situation anytime? If yes, please help me in how to get the exam rescheduled at the earliest as i have my other exams also due in two weeks. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/bec-and-its-little-tricks#post-15992 Wed, 03 Feb 2010 09:22:21 +0000 Patrick909 15992@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>"Ugh...hopefully I passed, but it pisses me off that they can put so many questions on from just ONE section or ask you the randomest things."</p> <p>I noticed this with each of the 4 exam sections. Some areas are tested heavily, while others are covered lightly, or in some cases, not at all. And there is no way of predicting what may or may not be ignored. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/bec-and-its-little-tricks#post-15979 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 19:31:24 +0000 dobat 15979@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>hopefully u passed...i tend to not skip any chapters or hardly ever pay attention to the suggested weights of becker chapters and just study everything...90/5 =18 questions, usually happens like this and not comparative to the weights. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/bec-and-its-little-tricks#post-15978 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 19:14:14 +0000 strider4216 15978@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>I had an IT question on mine (took yesterday) that was completely out of the blue, I later went and asked my friend with a masters in computer science and engineering and he had no clue either, he ended up sending me a wikipedia link that showed I got the wrong answer :/</p> <p>Also, out of all of chapter 5 from Becker, i skipped ONE section (by skipped I mean just read it once and didn't do problems), and there were at least 15 questions on just that one topic..it was really really annoying. Why couldn't the 15 questions have been on one of the harder sections that I drilled all night before? Ugh...hopefully I passed, but it pisses me off that they can put so many questions on from just ONE section or ask you the randomest things.</p> <p>Also, I did see a couple questions word for word from the Becker MCQ which was interesting, overall it wasn't that bad save the few random questions that made NO sense and the vast number of questions from the particular section I didn't go over.</p> <p>Good luck to all..I'll be most pissed if I get a 74, because that means had that stupid IT question been simply a business question about business structures, I would have passed. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/bec-and-its-little-tricks#post-15976 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:13:29 +0000 Dale 15976@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>No sims in BEC until next year. </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/bec-and-its-little-tricks#post-15974 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:04:17 +0000 SSGG 15974@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>Hi, Can you tell whether simulations appeared in your exam this time </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/bec-and-its-little-tricks#post-15966 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 15:03:09 +0000 Halfwaythere 15966@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>BEC testlets are not adaptive, so if you thought two of the three testlests were easy it probably just means you were well prepared and knowledgable in the areas that those questions related to. Good job! </p> http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/topic/bec-and-its-little-tricks#post-15965 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:49:57 +0000 TheCPA 15965@http://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-forum/ <p>I just took the BEC exam yesterday and got to say that what I had heard about it was really true. There are some strange kind of tricks AICPA is trying to play on you some of which make no sense. I just wanted to know if anyone knows what the difficulty level of testlets mean: the first was easy, second hard and third easy again. Is it a good sign or a bad one?</p> <p>Thanks </p>
