    I take BEC on Feb 24th, so basically I have 14 days to get in all that I can. These past 2 weeks I’ve gotten in minimal studying, however I was studying for a couple weeks before that.

    My weakest points in order are: 1) Financial Management, 2) Planning, Control & Analysis, and 3) Cost Measurement.

    I have been using the Wiley books and testbank, as well as NINJA Notes and Audio.

    My plan was to go through each of those chapters in the book, do the book MCQ, then do repeat MCQ in the testbank. What else might you recommend? Any other strategies on how I can better use my time or how I can be sure I’m ready for test day?

    FWIW, I drive 45 each way to/from work, then work from 8-6. My goal the next 2 weeks is get about 20-30 MCQ in the morning, at lunch, and then spend my nights going at it.

    Thanks!

    That sounds like a good plan. I assume you are going to study all day Saturday and Sunday? Make sure you do not under estimate the IT section. Also make sure you understand what is required for the writing section.

    @JROSEN- thanks! Yes, planning to study both weekends all day as well.

    IT is definitely tough but I feel like I have that down “fairly” well. These 3 sections seem to be my worst scoring areas. This is my 3rd time taking BEC, both times I've received “Above Average” on writing section so I'm not too concerned there. (1st time taking I got a 63, then 2nd I got a 72)

    Just planning to stick to MCQ and a little nervous.
