IT is 25% of BEC. Becker does not do a good job explaining IT. Therefore, answer ALL of the multiple choice questions on IT in the Wiley book. Additionally, read the entire section on IT in the Wiley book.

I am having fits over BEC still. I scored 81% and 73% on the Becker final reviews. I have an IT background so I am less scared of the IT stuff overall. I am close and have a reasonable chance of passing but don't feel confident at all like I did with AUD and REG.

I took BEC yesterday and feel the same- the test could have gone either way. I usually can tell whether I did well on a test but with BEC I wasn't sure. I do know that I got 2-3 questions wrong that I can actually identify as wrong (I had marked them for review and remembered them when I got home so of course I looked them up). And of those, one was not in any Becker material, one was in an addendum, and one I just forgot! I did have plenty of time. I worked through all the questions slowly and reviewed all of them, not just the ones I marked, and I still walked out 10 minutes early.

I really felt that they don't weigh the topics like they say they do. IT felt like half of my test! I'm really not kidding. I felt like cheering every time I got up to a calculation question.

@Dale-I scored similarly on Becker's final exams too..82 and 73…so I feel the same way too!

Dale – you should be fine on the actual exam with those scores, especially if you are comfortable with the IT section. I scored higher on my actual exam than I did on Becker. by a few points.

Good Luck!

For those who took the exam, or are taking it, how many of those equations and ratio's did you memorize? I'm studying w/ Yaeger and there are far too many for me to memorize, so I feel I am going to have to pick and choose the most important ones.

AUD - 81, BEC - 74, 80, FAR - 82, REG - 81
Done!

Hello! I am taking Regulations for my next exam. I am using Yaeger Cram , Wiley books and Becker (textbook). Can you give me insights on what to expect on the Regulation exam? Do I need to get more materials?

BEC 2/8/10 - 75 (studied hard & prayed less)
REG 5/15/10 - 88 (studied less but prayed hard)
AUDITING 8/9/10 - 79 (studied hard and prayed hard)
FAR 11/30/10 - 79 (studied hard and prayed hard) Thanks GOD! I'm DONE

I was very fortunate to pass REG after only studying 2/3 of Yaeger's home study DVDs. I only knew taxes and I took very good notes on taxes. However, I did not study commercial law. I ran out of time studying. I just looked over Yaeger's notes on commercial law a few days before the exam.
