InactiveBEC: 87 actual, 71 on Becker final (I only took one)
I have audit on Monday and just got a 77 on the first practice final, so I'm feeling pretty good about that. Still pretty worried about the sims though.

Actual Exam: 70Sims are what killed me. I do not have faith in Becker simulation homework problems as they are a lot easier than the actual ones on the test.

Participantquick question to you all….
how do you guys calculate the Simulation part of the Becker exam???
Do you add up the % of 7 sims and divided by 7?
or do you add the actual score for each different sim and divide by the total points???
like some sim worth 5 points, some worth like 20 points….
so I'm confused on show I calculate those…..

ParticipantHello, everyone!
I just took my first BEC becker practice exam and have my test scheduled for Friday. I did fairly well on the practice (got a 91) but felt like some of the questions I had already seen before on the homework assignments. Any tips on how to effectively prepare for the BEC exam? thanks so much!

You simply cannot take a Becker practice exam and feel discouraged about the results. I have heard the average is around a 12-15 point increase from practice finals to the real exam. For me, its been about 20. Ridiculous.

Honestly, I passed 1 Becker test in all. One of the audit tests I passed with a 79% and failed the rest miserably. And I passed all sections of the actual exam.

*I did not count the writing portion into my score since as long as you put an answer it is 100%. So BEC is just an average of the 3 MC sections.
Also, I wanted to mention that I found each actual exam to be FAR (no pun intended) more difficult than any of the practice exams. Because of the “curve”, I can almost guarantee that my percentage correct was higher on the practice tests, even though my score on the actual exam was typically much higher.
If you are new to this exam, don't expect to walk out of the testing center feeling like you passed. I never did, and passed each one on the first try.

If you have the time, go for it.

ParticipantI've never took a pre-test exam, I consider it a waste of time
I don't even pay attention to scores in test exams, in fact I intentially pick the wrong answers on some MCQ's which I find iam not comfortable with the concept s i can review them a couple of days before the exam.passed 3 exams now from the 1st time, taking REG in December
Bec: done
Far: done
Aud: done
