To those who are upset about their BEC/FAR scores or repeated 74s, just know this: I've taken that section 6 times now and this was a 74 for me. In the past I've gotten a 68, 70, 71, 72, and 73. Tried all sorts of review, from Wiley on its own to Northern Illinois to Yaeger CRAM to Becker this time. I've been trying to pass the test for 3 years and haven't yet passed one section. I've come so close, but still so far.
As for this round - I'll honestly admit that it probably boiled down to not being 100% clear on B3 and that may have been what killed me. When I took my final exam for Becker, I got a 60 average on both. I think that should have been a clear warning sign. You gotta be honest with yourself.
I know what I'll be spending my winter break doing, and it sucks (just submitted my request to get the free updated software for Becker and I'm downloading some Gleim when I get home). But oh well. I actually enjoy writing as a hobby, so maybe that might be the game changer when I take this on 1/3/2011.
Waiting for REG which I also took earlier this window - we'll see what happened there as that was also using Becker for the first time but I felt surprisingly comfortable doing the MCs...it's the sims that might be my undoing. But who knows??
Bottom line: I've been trying to pass any of these sections for 3 years (yes, I'm 0 for 15 when you combine all my attempts (approx)). If I'm still trying, and haven't given up, then you shouldn't either.
Just keep trying (provided you have the funds). My best regards to everyone.
BEC: 74,80 - FAR: 64, 4/2012 - REG: 70,60,75 - AUD: 74,78
Can't change the past but I CAN make the future. (ONE LEFT OMG.)
