I didn’t really study today. I looked at some problem questions and formulas, but that’s it really. For my retake I studied about 70 hours and I’m trending at 83%, averaging 73%. Not the greatest numbers but I’m all studied out… and a majority of my study time was my weak areas so I didn’t really study IT and Corp Governance. Anyone not study the day before the exam feeling all studied out and passed?

Hey, you have a higher trending score than me, and I'm taking the test tomorrow. I'm probably not going to sleep tonight.

I've put in about 75 hours in Becker and 47 hours in Ninja MCQ. I'm at a 77% trending score from 1,574 question attempts and 76% average score.

Good luck tomorrow.

@Claudia408

Your should be good. I myself study till the last minute because of the nature of the materials–memorization. Most won't recommend it.

I would hate to take BEC again if i failed. I am taking mine July 11.

Good luck Claudia and let us know of your experience.

Claudia408, how did you do on the exam? I just took it this morning. I really don't know how I feel. There was lots of calculation and I think I got them all except 2 question which one of them I'd never seen this type of questions before. I think I did not do well on IT. It is my weakness. Just hoping for 75!

@zyx11 Gosh it's so hard to say this exam went.I would not be surprised if I passed or failed. I had a lot of calculations too, I feel like a lot of the exam was financial mgmt and the questions sound so tricky. I didn't have as many WTF moments as the first time but I did a fair amount of “educated” guessing. WCs were on the easier side but overall, who knows. Even though I haven't passed a section yet, I felt like complete crap the first time I took BEC, felt like I passed AUD but ended up doing better in BEC.

I never study day before. I either know it or I don't know it by that point…and I wouldn't feel guilty unless I ever get a 74. A 74 would mean one more day could have made a diff…I have yet to receive a fail with 74…

I took BEC yesterday and im totally stressed out about it. It didnt seem like the testlets were getting anymore difficult so that has me worried. Hoping I got some points on the WC portion. I did not study the day before, I felt like I needed to give my mind a break before the exam

westy – my testlets didn't seem like they were getting harder for REG and I passed. The hardness is very subjective. How heavy was your test on formulas? I am stressing out about taking BEC in a couple weeks!

@westy WC is only 15% of the score, so you don't have to extremely well on WC to pass. I feel like if you can't tell if testlets are getting easier/harder then you are probably doing well. If I really think about it, my last testlet was medium for me so I probably didn't pass. 🙁

I would say the formulas were about 35-45% of the MC. I thought the formula based questions were pretty straightforward especially compared to some of the Becker MC questions.

@MaLoTu – Yes I think deciding testlets are getting harder is very subjective. Keeping my fingers crossed! My mental stamina is wearing thin and I need a pass!!

Yeah, Becker really pours it on! I am going to really have to crack down on myself.

Claudia – you probably did fine. Don't depend on your perception of difficulty. What you feel is easy many have been difficult for 50% of the exam takers …

On some of the Becker formula questions I wouldnt even waste my time trying to figure out the answer, instead I would focus my time on going through the solution and understanding how they got the answer. I felt like this was a better use of my time. I guess I will see how it pays off.

Claudia408, I feel the same way. I would not be surprised whether I pass or fail. This is my 2nd time. I failed with 68 at the first try. I think I was able to do more this time, but you never know. Does anyone know if computation MCs that you have to compute more than 1 step is difficult or moderate? I just can't stop thinking about the exam. It comes up in my mind the first think I wake up in the morning!
