    Hey @Tncpa2018, I'm awaiting AUD score too. I know I'm going to fail however I want to move on to either BEC or REG but I'm not sure which. I will retake AUD in early January and hopefully either BEC or REG in late January. BEC and AUD overlap with some topics so I'm thinking I should study BEC, however, I'm stronger with REG than BEC.

    Iris, no one feels good walking out of these

    That said, retake AUd if you need them BEC after, mostly because there is a lot of IC / COSO stuff covered on BEC

    That is why I’m taking BEC after AUD. I Initially planned to take FAR, but after looking at my study material I realized there so many overlap with AUD and BEC, specially on IT and IC.

    I’m studying BEC (mainly IT and COSO on Internal control) until I get my AUD result. I’m not very comfortable with the IT and internal control part when I took it from AUD. So if I have to retake I’m more prepared with these topic, and if I pass – woot, the topics are BEC covered so I’ll just continue on.

    Hello everyone! I am taking BEC on January 3rd. I work in the financial services industry as a financial reporting accountant. We are coming up to our year-end busy time, which I might be in the minority, I love the busy time, but I look forward to getting BEC done before the busy time. I plan to work on AUD over our busy time and taking that exam right away in April. Study hard everyone! We can all get through this together.

    Hope everyone is killing it while studying. For those of you that are taking the exam in early January, keep pushing through your material! The end is near and hopefully you can take a quick breather before jumping into the next one!

    Hello Everyone,

    I am retaking BEC (I took it back in the fall and didn't pass). However, I am going to retake it 2/17/18. I passed AUD earlier this year.

    I've got a big question about BEC.

    I'm studying for BEC with Becker, and I'm reviewing chapter 2 and am realizing how foreign and difficult these concepts are for me. Like studying the equations for perpetuities, annuities, per-share valuations of equity, and on and on and on, the list goes of formulas and concepts that I cannot get my head around!

    For someone who isn't finance-minded, how would you all suggest I work through this? Any good videos that explain these concepts better than Becker? Any rundowns that are helpful? Are there some things that I shouldn't even bother memorizing for the exam?

    Thanks!

    I should clarify which sections of chapter 2, because of how broad it is.

    I mean specifically Module 6, or Financial Valuation Methods.

    Thanks!

    I passed AUD so I’m officially studying BEC now. Was only intermittently studying topics related to AUD, but now I can go deep dive with BEC. Economics and Cost Accounting was my favorite subjects in undergrad, but IT and Financial Management not so much. Gah, why so many topics squeezed in here? 😲

    I just passed Audit and I am moving on to BEC. Looking to take it sometime mid February. Anyone using Becker to study?…..Also I have to say at first glance the guy instructing the lectures online has red marks ALL over the page to the point I find it very unhelpful. Anyone else notice this?

    Thanks @CoachEmUp!! I'm ready to knock this stuff out once and for all. At least now I can REALLY see that glorious finish line. Just gotta get there. Did you feel like Wiley prepared you? I have it, so I'm thinking I might use it again for this round, and then supplement with Ninja. Gotta find a study method that will work for this nasty test.
