    Hello,

    I was wondering do candidates get a “stronger” mark on the communications portion or do most people with full/near full credit get “comparable” since I assume that most candidates dont lose points (substantially amount) in the written communication section…

    BEC: Passed
    REG: Passed
    FAR: Almost Past (lol)
    AUD: I thought I passed with flying colors, but I wasn't close!

    Can you clarify what you mean by full/near full credit? I took BEC four times and got ‘stronger' on my last three attempts. Once I figured out a good strategy, I just stuck with it and it worked.

    Hello, @f15hy

    I was just wondering what “comparable” and “stronger” were in terms of points.

    I took bec again cause my credit ran out and scored a “comparable” on the written portion. However, if you scored “stronger” 3x already, Im going to assume that I wasn't near full credit for the written comm. on my previous exam…

    Thanks…

    It's quite interesting that you had stronger 3 times and passed the 4th time.

    I'm really interested in knowing your strategy as I am currently having some challenges in the WC part.

    Please, if you will be willing to share (even in depth), I'll be very grateful. Thanks in advance

    Hey guys, so sorry I didn't respond sooner, I just saw that you were asking about my strategy. I was weaker on the MCQs, that's why it took so long to pass and to be honest, this was my first exam I took and I had no idea how to prepare. Which study program are you using?

    I prepared by watching the Becker lecture on the written communication, they do a great job on showing you how to format your responses. They show several correct and incorrect responses. Then I formulated an intro (4 sentences) and a closing statement (2 sentences) and then I copied and pasted it in all three tabs. I only changed the topic in my opening paragraph, but I literally used the same opening and closing statement on all three essays/memos. Becker explains how to fill in the middle. You must answer every question they ask, I usually would do that by repeating the question in statement form. For example: Why should Company ABC as with from LIFO to FIFO? Company ABC should switch from LIFO to FIFO because…

    Does that help?

    I also posted some other BEC tips on this thread, toward the bottom.
