Need a plan. 74 on BEC

    Been lurking on here since I recently started studying a couple months ago. Need some advice on what my next step should be.

    Quick rundown: I start at PwC next July and I essentially have a 24/7 studying opportunity until then (very lucky). Just found out yesterday I got a 74 on BEC and I also took audit yesterday as well. Sims destroyed me on audit so I’m not very confident I passed.

    So, I need advice on what I should do next. Audit grade will be released 12/9. Been grinding hard, but I suppose it hasn’t paid off : (. Three options I thought of. Let me know which one what y’all think I pick or please suggest one better.

    1. Take a break and live a little until aud score

    2. Touch up on BEC until aud score, but then jump back to aud because it’s fresh.

    3. Trust my confidence I failed Aud and just continue studying it lol

    Also just wanted to say this community is very comforting, everyone here “gets it” because you’ve either been through it or currently are testing. Outside world doesn’t understand the struggle factor of this test. And though I wish we’d all pass, it’s nice to know i’m not alone when I don’t. Whats frustrating though is hearing college friends passing on the first time, making it look too easy, meanwhile…… ya know.

    Any relatable words would be much appreciated!

    don't let a retake discourage you. you will get there but remember next BEC exam may be totally different so start fresh and prepare to pass next time. as for audit, did you use the AL for sims? i thought i failed for sure. you just never know with these exams. so hang in there. you have time to get it all done before you start your job. good luck!

    AUD - 93
    BEC - 82
