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?
Thanks
No sims in BEC until next year.

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 :/
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.
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.
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.

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.
