    Just got home from BEC. Just like REG, they ignored 90% of the material and threw in random questions never touched upon in my Becker review materials. Still, I think I was able to reason through most of them. I felt waaaaaaaaay better coming out of this one knowing how well I did in REG, which did the same. Are all CPA exams like this?

    REG 2/26/14 - 90
    BEC 4/08/14 - 92
    FAR 5/31/14 - 90
    AUD 7/09/14 -

    I sit for BEC next week. So far, I have taken REG and FAR – Felt MCQ for FAR were very easy, SIMS were hard I guess.

    REG felt the MCQ required more math, but were fairly easy. SIMs were ok, except for one. I'm anxious to see what BEC

    feels like. I walked out of FAR thinking I failed because it was my first test and everyone says that if it's easy that means you failed.

    I honestly can't tell the difference between difficulty so far, so I just answer the question and ignore the noise.

    Difficulty is relative.

    AUD - 99
    BEC - 84
    FAR - 93
    REG - 87

    I took BEC a few days ago.. Same here. SO many random questions that I had to guess on. Really hoping the way they grade BEC is generous.
