Yes, crunchtime has to be right … if they are talking variable costs per unit it will not change. It will increase in total with the increase in volume, but the fixed cost will go down per unit because there are more units to spread the cost among.

I'm starting to hate so much becker appendix of IT section. Why is so large??? It's really valuable time read this? I will take the test on Saturday, and I'm ending chapter 4 … must do a progress and continue to chap 5. ….I'm running out of time OMG

[MaLoTu]

I would skip the appendix, becca. But do look up cloud computing later in your final review. I will find a document I have and post it today.

I finally got my NTS in the email today. I mailed it right after I found out I failed my 4th attempt for BEC (June 21st). The State Board returned it in the mail (they retained my check though) informing me that the form was incomplete. (Must answer yes or no for any felony charge.) You know what's crazy? I checked the Yes box. I am so glad I caught it before sealing the envelope. I must be really out of my mind. I filled out a new form then finally mailed it out. It took 17 days. I hope my NTS experience won't happen to anyone else of you.

^Geez, at least the turnaround was quick. I just paid my coupon and am expecting the NTS by Monday. I am deliberating whether I should just try to schedule when I know I am ready? I am aiming for the 20th, but if I end up not being ready I don't want to pay another fee to change it.

I thought the NTS and coupon are the same, LOL.

Okay, I was referring my experience above with the payment coupon.

[Anonymous]

MaLo how's it going. What's a coupon got to do with an NTS bTW. I still think you were robbed by not passing BEC the last time.

[MaLoTu]

lol, CPA2021 … I am going through my materials and I have been like, “ok This was on my exam and I am sure I did it right”. I just do not know where I went wrong. All I can do now is go back and try to learn even more! lol.

The coupon is the payment for NASBA, then they send you your NTS once it is paid for. I am in CA so I am not sure if NASBA states have a different protocol. I have to select the sections I want to take, then I get emailed a payment coupon, I go to the NASBA site and pay, then they email me my NTS.

I am new, both here and in the US. I'm writing BEC (first paper) on the 11th in Baltimore. I feel i'm totally ill-prepared. I want to postpone but my wife said i should give it a shot and that's what i'll be doing. I've gone through McGraw-Hill 500 questions and Wiley 2016 focus notes. What materials can i get I've got the whole weekend.

Thanks. Good luck everyone!

AUD - 88
BEC - 84
FAR - 85

Oh I was thinking discount coupon. LOL. I'm in a NASBA state – didn't realize there was a difference in the protocol.

Seriously, it was clear you knew the material – completely unfair. Well the third quarter is the charm right?!?

[MaLoTu]

@CPA2021 – thanks for the kind words … Q3 is statistically over 57% for passing scores on BEC, hopefully that works in my favor! Good luck on REG!

Welcome, mcgboye! If you can purchase the NINJA notes for $47 I think it would benefit you. BEC is passed in the MCQ section so you have to be strong on your performance to ensure a pass.
