    taking BEC sometime in January. anybody else? just started studying using Becker. i am sure i will be ready if i take it in the beginning of January because i still have 4 weeks to study…but i am debating taking it towards the end only because i think i will get my score faster. i don't wanna wait 2 months to know!! plus i could possibly resit for REG if i need to at the end of january or in feb since my NTS expires in march….

    I'm taking it Jan 4th.. probably a bad idea considering I'll be traveling for Christmas through New Years, but I'm hoping for the best. I'm also using Becker- chapters 1 and 2 were easy, but I'm working on chapter 3 now and it's pretty difficult and a lot of memorization. Overall, I just finished taking FAR a couple weeks ago so nothing can really seem as bad as that. Vishvesh- I'm not taking the final review because I didn't want to pay for it, but let us know if it helps and good luck on your first time through studying!

    REG-95, FAR-91, BEC-85, AUD-2/24/10

    vishvesh – i did not order the final review material either. i figured the regular becker material with all the MCQ, final exam and progress testing it should be enough for 90 multiple choice.

    ihavecpaocd – i took BEC for the first time in July with little studying…i did not have many economics questions – mostly IT and cost accounting. but every exam is different. good luck studying!

    AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

    hey hey….yup…will keep u guys posted on the final review package…….planning to go over it in two weeks……..i actually bought it because i read in the forum that one of the members felt it was a good review after doing the final exams(which i hear is brutal)…………..its like a summary by olinto……lets see……

    Mponi123…..how were the IT questions in your exam??…i mean where the becker material enough…..the reason i am asking is that there are 112 questions in the software and its like for 25% of the grade…??…

    hey vishvesh – the first time i took BEC i did not really study for it at all. i think i only made it half way through chapter 4 without any review. but i thought my IT questions were difficult especially since i have NO IT background and find it extremely difficult to understand. but i know IT is a big chunk on the exam and i must have had the highest possible % on mine!!

    since i actually plan on studying this time i am thinking that becker will be enough for BEC since they give a lot of different questions and the actual BEC exam only being 90 MCQ!

    AUD - 84; REG - 90; BEC - 79; FAR - 75; ALL DONE!!

    I got the Whiley BEC book to supplement my Becker books and some of the information and questions in the Whiley BEC book aren't covered in the Becker book? Are these questions and material not important….is that why Becker leaves out the material?

    padsab, I took all my Becker classes online. I'm about to finish my third one this week. The last one, I have have to go drive to campus (45 min one way :() because they did not offer it online at this time and I need to be done with this process.

    I'm taking BEC on Jan. 5th. This is my first part and I'm more than nervous. There is just sooooo much material in BEC! I'm using Becker and just finishing up the last of my lectures. I also have the Final Review but haven't touched it yet.

    How is the time value of money tested? Do they give you a calculator function similar to a TI-34 BA II+ or do they just give you the number that would be founded in the tables?

    Toddie00,

    I know! It's a challenge to get into a good study routine. I got my bachelor's degree in 1990, my MBA in 1999, so it's been a while since I've had to buckle down with studying! Add 3 kids to the equation and it's crazy. I know I'll get there though.

    CONGRATULATIONS ON PASSING!!!! Time for you to celebrate!
