Need some input for BEC

    I am feeling quite frustrated at the moment. I am using Yaeger to understand the concepts, and using Becker for multiple choice questions. I work full time at a CPA firm and only had 30 days to prepare for the exam, my exam is on 27th and i took about 4 days off this week to study. For some topics I am only getting less than 50% right, I haven’t finished IT yet. I am thinking to reschedule my exam, but my financial is expiring in Sept. Just because I am worried about the topics I haven’t done yet, I am unable to focus on the current topics I am doing.

    Need some input from people who are taking BEC or who already took this exam. Also, is IT really heavily tested on the actual exam?

    Since I am using Yaeger for lectures, a lot of questions I see with Becker don’t seem to be covered by Yaeger. Should I just keep practicing questions, or view becker lecture for that topic to nail it down?

    I haven't seen Becker's but I thought the Wiley book and test bank covered the topics and range of questions well. Are you following along with Yaeger using the Wiley book? I suggest doing questions from the Wiley book after the Yaeger lectures to grasp concepts and calculations, it sounds confusing to go from watching Yaeger lectures that follow the Wiley book to doing questions from Becker, especially if the material is new to you.

    I saved IT for last so it would stay fresh in my head for exam day. The CSO, I believe, says IT is up to 19% of exam so yup, you should know it.

    Yaeger and Wiley alone will do the trick…

    I agree with both Redsox and Casagarber. Yaeger and Wiley should be enough. I am using the same combo.

    Even though Cindy reads the book for the most part, it is still useful as she gives you helpful information while going through the chapter.

    I really appreciate your guys input. Since I was not using wiley test bank, I thought it would be better to supplement with Becker multiple choice questions.

    But I will stick to Wiley book and questions at the end of the chapter.

    Wish you guys all the best for your exam!
