    I am in . . . April 11th.

    Just got through REG, which was a huge confidence booster.

    Went through the BEC material once and did 5hrs on the MCQ's so far. Very congruent with what I learned in B-School and 10+ years in computer systems & program development. But I forget A LOT from Managerial Accounting so will try to catch up soon. I can certainly help with the Micro/Macro-economic stuff.

    Plus, my impression is that many BEC-takers know the material so the curve will be challenging. At least, that's my initial impression.

    Hey everyone!

    I'm scheduled for April 20th… Took 2 tests last year and bombed, so I'm hoping for a fresh start. I've worked on Corporate Governance so far and am working on Strategic Planning now. Feeling pretty good right now… good luck to us all!! I'm using Wiley books (from 2013) and supplementing with NINJA MCQ. May end up with the NINJA book/notes too, just trying to decide.

    FAR - 61, retake 1/22

    Hi Everyone,

    First post! I scheduled BEC for April 11th and it will be my first CPA exam. I graduated college last year and currently unemployed so if I can focus and put in the time I'll pass for sure. I'm using Wiley Books 2013 and planning to use Ninja MCQ too.

    I know I should have chosen FAR or AUD first but I really need a confidence booster.

    “CPA Exams are about diligence, not intelligence.”

    Good luck everyone, I feel that this is a great community and can use some moral support!

    Hey everyone. I wasn't as prepared as I could have been (and didn't manage my time very well) and scored a 70 on BEC Q1. I got my score notice earlier today and I got stronger/comparable in all categories except for Strategic Planning and the WC. I only completed 2 of the memos due to my poor timing and general exhaustion at the end and I have a sneaky suspicion based on the content of the WC that I completed the pretest and only one of the scored memos.

    Needless to say, I'm a bit disappointed in not passing. At the same time I'm excited to start anew and kick a lot of BEC ass in April. I'm definitely excited to be joining the Q2 BEC study group and putting in some more quality study time with you guys!

    Hello everyone:

    Taking BEC on 4/14, so I have just started studying about a week ago. Due to limited time, I am reading the NINJA book, and then doing MCQ questions from the corresponding section. I'd love to be able to take notes and rewrite them as Jeff suggests, but there just isn't time for that. Any of you passed, just using the book and doing MCQ? Just curious…..

    What do they call an accounting person, who only managed a 75 on all four parts of the CPA exam....you got it, CPA!!!

    @excel – everybody's learning style is different. I learn best by making mistakes in MCQ's and then learning from my mistakes. Some people learn best by reading. For me, I don't even read the books. I just start with questions and then watch the videos/read the text about the portion that I got wrong

    @golfball:

    I am similar to you in that I learn from making mistakes from doing MCQ, but I wanted to try and read the text to have some sort of idea what I'm being tested over, if I have the time. You are so right though, in that everyone learns differently. I don't personally feel that I get much from videos, since I'm more of a reader. I just know that I'm not going to have the time to rewrite the NINJA Notes, and also study them AND do MCQ. There just isn't the time.

    What about reading the NINJA notes and then expanding your knowledge base based on what you get wrong in the MCQ? This way you can get an overview before diving in and figuring out what you know/don't know

    Failed Bec the first time 68. Unfortunately my father had a stroke a month before my test and lives in another state (I had to travel from NJ to NC plus fill out all his paperwork). My stress level was high. Received my score report and received stronger in my weak areas I guess I over studied those and forgot about the other sections. I'm going to still attempt this again in the beginning of April. I have Wiley Books and Wiley Test Bank. Should I get Ninfa MCQ?
