From someone that has taken BEC, in my opinion, I think that refers to the exam itself. You have less simulations to worry about, and the writing portion isn't all that terrible. There's some good information on this forum regarding that. The material on the other hand, is unique. It felt random to me, and can be challenging, I know I had to put extra time in on economics and cost accounting. With all that said, do not take BEC lightly and have the mind set that because it may be “easier.” Treat it like the rest of the exams and give it your all. Best of luck!
