NINJA CPA Review is dedicated to saving time, focusing on what matters and passing the CPA Exam once and for all. Starting as a blog, growing into an online forum and finally evolving into the ultimate Un-Course,
NINJA CPA Review answers the question: How do you pass the CPA Exam?
The question hits home for CPA candidates facing the Business Environment and Concepts (BEC) section of the exam.
BEC is widely regarded as the easiest of the four CPA Exam sections. Through the first three quarters of 2015, the BEC cumulative pass rate climbed to an all-time high of 57 percent. But hold your applause: that means 43 percent sitting for the section failed.
What’s So Hard About BEC?
What’s the difficulty underlying BEC? The BEC section tests on a collection of unrelated concepts: business law, economics, financial management and information technology. Most accounting majors are not expert in these areas. And BEC questions are notoriously ambiguous, if not downright tricky.
