are the BEC testlets reactive? (meaning if you score well on testlet 1, testlet 2 will be more difficult).

I know FAR, REG, and AUD are reactive. But I remember hearing the BEC isn't.

Does anyone know the details on this?

They currently are not. I think this is supposed to change when they add simulations to BEC (2011?).

ok thanks CapitalGains.

One follow-up question – Does this mean that all 3 testlets are "medium" level? Or is there 1 "difficult" level testlet given? Or is each testlet just a random schmorgishborg of "medium" and "difficult" level questions?

I took BEC yesterday oct.16. i found it to be more intensive in regards to finance than the 17-23 % becker states as well as less IT.

i walked out of there feeling like I did when i took AUD: it could gone either way. unfortunately i got a 74 in AUD…which i feel happened to a lot of us per what i read on this message board.

besk luck to all

[OnePointAway]

AUD on 74, yep that's me…and I passed the other exams 3 on my first try.

I took BEC yesterday and their were at least 15 topics I didn't even get a question on, such bs. Also, the IT questions were crazy, can't believe some of the questions they asked. 50/50 chance of passing, guess I'll be stressed out again for the next month waiting for this grade.

[hopefullydonesoon]

i used becker for each section.

i watched the lectures, did multiple choice questions.

then review and do each sections' mc questions again.

then did 2 "final exams"

also did the 2 sets of 50 mcq on beckers update page

[Hope2BCPA]

Just wondering- since there are no SIMS for BEC- is there any chance I won't be in Wave 1 for scores– I took it yesterday?!
