    I am studying to take BEC for the second time on April 1st. I am working through all the sections, but I am still hitting a roadblock on the same section that tripped me up on my first exam. I got a 73 on my first run at BEC and it was due to COSO and ERM. Everything else I feel comfortable on.

    Using the Becker mnemonics isn’t working, and I have read it 3 and 4 times and I am just a mess with it.

    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    FAR - 83 (expires January 31, 2014)
    BEC - 73, 80
    AUD - 74, 62, 84
    REG - 72, 73, 74 One more chance.

    Take 12 days to ONLY listen to the lectures, one per day…. Just listen to them. Once you've done this you will be able to recite them back and forth. This helped me a lot! Then re-listen to them a third time, but now taking notes and with more reading interaction and comprehension. You will se the difference it makes by just listening.

    B - 62, 70, 72, 79!!!
    A - 68, 81
    R - 70, 82
    F - 84

    I was a bit opposite from you Jokami. The Becker MC questions helped me to think through how the examiners would ask questions relating to each component of CRIME and PHRASED.

    It may have helped that a teacher in undergrad really drilled these concepts into our heads in an AIS class. The way I did it then and for the exam was to break apart each portion of the mnemonics and tried to understand them individually and how they differed against the other closely related concepts. The components of COSO are different, they are just slight. For me understanding them independently was a huge help.

    Hope this helps, good luck!

    I agree with you as well, MC are a mayor part to study BEC. It also depends on your study tactics. But listening to the all the audios I had, made the difference this time. By the time I finished all my mc question from every review out there… I new the answers by heart!
