Anyway, as far as a study strategy goes, the exam is truly much more random than you can anticipate. Ive taken BEC and REG twice and was very surprised how different the tests were each time. One time it really drills one topic and the next, not so much. My AUD test was a pass first time around, but I was shocked how little questions I got on audit procedures and transaction cycles when my review materials were telling me that was one of the most heavily tested areas. I literally spent 50% of my study times on procedures and transaction cycles and got 1 MCQ and 1 Sim on it come test day. You can't expect your BEC exam to be consistent with any one elses.
As a study strategy, your best bet with BEC (and any exam for that matter), is to break up the material by topic. and spend enough time on each topic to master it. Group your practice questions BY TOPIC and track these practice question sessions by topic, score and date. Whichever topic YOU personally are struggling with, gets more special time/attention in your studies. As soon as you are gettin 90s in a section, you got it, move on to the next. Re-perform every question that you get wrong, at least once. (at least enough until you can get it right)
I personally spent a TON of time on corporate governance, went into the test totally mastering the topic, was getting like 100% on all practice questions for it, made flashcards, blah blah blah. I did that b/c corp gov killed me on BEC first time around.
Didn't spend much time on Econ, Cost Accounting or IT because, I was already kicking ass in those topics because I nailed them in school. So I'm not saying don't spend time on these topics, spend enough time on ALL topics to master them, based on what you know.
Don't bother taking the test unless you're getting 90s or above on the homework questions for every section. and check the dates you got your scores as well, make sure they are recent. A score of 90% on a topic you practiced 5-6 weeks ago must be refreshed last week before exam.
Best of luck and try very hard all day every day!
Keep a stash of water and candies/chocolates by your study station. You need that sugar when you start to feel “fried” and like you cant think anymore
