It means you got some extra practice developing your weak points. No need to be worried. You have plenty of time to master those concepts.

You are doing excellent, do not worry.

Search these forms a little more and you will find people who scored in that range on Becker and ended up getting 85+ on their exam. For the most part, the Becker exams are some what tougher when compared to the CPA exam (Wiley too, but do not count on this in terms of sims). Everyone in my Cohort noticed this. One of my friends averaged low 60's to high 50's on both of his Becker Reg exams, got a 90 on actual exam.

Just keep up what you are doing until test day, it is working.

Work on your weak areas. People have said not to put a lot of faith in the exams and they aren't very helpful (I am not using Becker so I don't know).

Make your own practice exams in Wiley focused on your weak areas you can do this! If you have NINJA notes read them and rewrite them then retest, it helps!

good luck you are going to kill Audit on the 20th!

A - 61, 91!!
B - 78!
F - 76!!!
R - 71, 73, 74, 69, 77!!!!

Finally done!

This is my 2nd attempt at the exam, I had two parts passed (failed many) and I stupidly quit, big mistake. Now I'm back and with a vengeance!

The reason you're getting 80s and 90s on your MCs is because u need to factor in all the problems that are reappearing that you have memorized the answer for. BEcker Final Exam has primarily questions u never seen before. Personally, I eventually got 80s/90s on my progress tests, but I typically get 60s on my final exam. Just make sure you review the answer to your final exam. Becker makes their exams extra hard. The actual exam is a lot less reading and more straight forward. Rememeber, the test makers dont want you to fail. And remember you dont need to score 90% on your MCs to pass. The system has a unique way of “curving” the results.

You're doing great, don't worry abou tthe final exam at all. Whenever I see someone post how they got like 80s and 90s on their final exam, I'm a little hesitant. Something just seem way more fishy there. But kudos to them. However, if they are using their books and notes to solve problems for the exam than thats a different story.

AUD-69, Retake: 84!!

Just a quick question. I'm in this same position, I have Becker and will be taking my first CPA exam this Thursday (BEC). I took my first final test today consisting of three MC testlets (24 questions) and the written communications testlet. I scored 91% on two of them, and 83% on the third one, I assume these are the final tests everyone talks about? I wish it would grade the written communication parts too instead of saying self-graded. When you guys say you're getting X% on the final exams, do you mean just on the MC parts? Thanks in advance!
