    Hi all future and current CPAs!!!!

    I need your help! I am testing for BEC in 1 week. I currently work full-time and working about 60hr weeks. Don’t have much time to study. I have gone through the material and find myself weak on cost accounting and the financial management sections. For those of you who took the exam, do you think it’s critical that I study the heavy calculations and formulas? I’ve read that BEC does not contain a lot of calculations, and instead focuses on asking conceptual questions. This is my one shot at BEC before the changes and I would greatly appreciate some input. What areas should I focus on this last week before testing? Also, i don’t know how to approach the written portion. Are we tested on competence of the subjects we write about?

    There were not many computation questions on my exam, around 20% at maximum. For conceptual questions, I would say Information Technology and COSO are the 2 most important sections. For computation questions, you need to memorize all formulas, especially formulas relate to cost accounting, stock valuation and business cycle.

    Writing communication is graded by software, so you need to use topic-related keywords as many as possible. Making sure to have opening and closing paragraphs (1-3 sentences each).

    Good luck!
