    I have just taken bec on Monday for the second time and I am anticipating failing again. I studied mcqs and ninja notes like a mad man. I still felt so unprepared…it is like the practice questions are totally different from the exam. So if anyone has any advice I surely welcome it. Also if anyone is in the same position….

    every exam i have taken is like that. the questions test whether you know the concept. it won't be the same/word for word as the practice questions you did in the exam review course.

    if you have another exam to study, just study that for now. don't sweat over the score in which you have no control now that you have taken it.

    Thanks for the advice. Fortunately/unfortunately this is my last exam, so for right now no more studying.

    I failed my last one and had to retake. (It was my second fail too). What I did to finally pass was completely change how I studied. I listened to ninja audio on repeat. I used Wiley TB and the book more. I took insane notes. As much as failing sucked…and I was so close, I got a 74…I studied from the beginning like I did not know a thing. If you do fail…approach studying like it is a completely new topic. Go insane with the MC and the notes. You'll get it but hopefully you wont have to study again!

    Thanks for your the advice! I definitely have to approach it from a different angle. I banged out mcqs like crazy and actually used the yaeger audio with ever car ride.

    You don't have your score yet – I have had exams that I was sure I failed and it turned out I passed. Take a couple days to relax right now.

    let's hope this is unncessary worrying 🙂
