Hi All,
So I took BEC on Jan 4th, and after feeling fairly confident leaving the exam, I found out this past Monday I received a 74. I could not believe it, waiting so long for the results only to find I just missed passing has been tough to swallow. I recently graduated this past May, and started working at a Big 4 firm in Boston this past Sept. I have strong self-doubt after hearing so many of my staff colleagues pass BEC, and many saying they hardly studied. I also took 2 months to study, and had a great week of studying right before the exam, or at least I thought. I have always considered myself very proficient in test taking and studying, but now I am having self doubts, especially after failing my first exam.
I am just curious on what some think should be my next move. Should I retake BEC, or move onto another section? I feel like my understanding of BEC is strong, and I could just do MC and review chapters instead of going through the entire study process again. At the same time, I feel diving back into BEC will make me want to pull my hair out and may be discouraging.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Has anyone failed BEC then retaken it right away? If so, how did you prepare? Looking forward to hearing some of your suggestions.
