    I thought that this could be a nice resource for people in the same boat. When you are on the written communication section of BEC and you get a question that you are not sure of or completely clueless. Can we get some tips and tricks to get some freebee partial credit? This will at least prevent us from leaving it blank or get us panic mode. Thanks for the help in advance!

    AUD - PASS

    FAR - PASS

    REG - PASS

    BEC - PASS

    BEC: 5/21/14 82! PASSED HALF WAY THERE!
    FAR: 4/2/15 80! Almost there!
    AUD: 69, 74, 4/3/14 81! PASSED
    REG: TBD

    I haven't taken this part yet but I think a few tips we can do are:

    1. Clearly state the purpose of the memo (basically copy from the issue they give you)

    2. Depending on who the memo is being written for (management vs peer) should set the tone of the memo, with the memo being more professional for mgmt./CEO/CFO/etc.

    3. If there are specific items they want you address, address them in separate paragraphs.

    4. Use the spell check option!

    A - 75
    B - 78 God is good.
    F - 77 Answered prayers.
    R - 84! Done!!

    Paperwork sent - waiting for license!!
    Still on a cloud and in shock. Through God, all things will happen.

    Basically, have a thesis, a beginning, middle, end, the stuff that you learned in grade school. That is what I did, and I got an 81. Although tearing apart the MCQ section helps.

    I thought you were me for a moment. I looked and your signature and was like, “Wait a minute. When did I pass AUD and REG?” LOL.

    Review the released questions. Also if you use the Wiley text book, look at those SIMS. You'll see a pattern on the writing style.
