I am taking BEC this Thursday 5/29 and am studying with Becker. I have been through all the lectures for B 1-5 and done all the HW for B 1 and 4-5 ( I started out of order starting with B4 and B5 then B1-3) I will get through the B2 and B3 mc questions by tomorrow.

I am wondering if it is worth my time to watch the B6 lectures and read the chapter/ do the HW. I have heard this chapter is not as important and while I understand the concepts of B1 and B2, I am struggling to memorize the formulas and keep getting them confused.

AUD- 89
BEC- 86
FAR- 60,79

I would say it's definitely important. And you absolutely need to know all the formulas for the exam from all chapters. I know it's a lot but you can do it! Put in the work now, so you don't need to retake it.

F - 2/15/2014 - 85
B - 2/26/2014 - 88
R - 4/1/2014 - 83
A - 4/21/2014 - 95

My philosophy has always been study so much you cant fail, give up sleep if you have to. 1 chapter represents 17% of the information that you could be tested on. Are you willing to give up 17 points on the exam so the maximum you could get is an 83? If it were me i would want every possible point i could have. Every one thinks differently, to each their own.

Thanks for the help, I guess it's just going to be a long weekend. Definitely beats retaking the exam though.

I got a handful of questions from B-6

I got a TRUCKLOAD of questions from B-1 and Managerial and Cost accounting, though, so I'd hit those hard.

Long weekend will save you a couple hundred on a retake. You can do it! Just rewrite the formulas over and over. It'll stick!

the pure sad dads mnemonic helps with dm and dl variances and the sev two bv or not to bv along with aba bsa helps with o/h

sales price variance and sales volume variances arent too bad, jsut remember is std cmpu youre multiplying the sales volume difference by and the sales mix, sales quantity, market share and market size formulas arent the end of the world if you dont know them

also know fixed o/h spending variance is simply actual – budgeted and its different from fixed o/h volume variance which is where you compare how fixed o/h is applied vs how its budgeted

also remember that to find voh rates and foh rates, take budgeted divided by expected cost driver and use that rate to multiply the std cost driver allowed for the actual output <

---

that aforementioned concept is huge

the last variance thingy that i can think of is simply flexible budget variances and volume variances on a broad level which is basically just making a flexible budget and comparing actual to flex (flex budget variance) and then flex to budgeted (volume variance)

4 more days and we got this man!

FAR: PASSED
REG: PASSED
AUD: PASSED
BEC: PASSED

DONE
