    Just starting my study for BEC, got Wiley test bank and Becker tetxbook. Don’t know which section to start with. Can anyone share in what order studied BEC sections?
    I know its all subjective and depends on a individual’s background but Im just curious what rationale can be behind certain order.
    im thinking to start with Corporate governance since I just took REG ( not sure though if material for BEC overlaps with the one in REG)…

    I like to do the hard or time consuming stuff first, so I'd recommend doing them in this order:

    Operations Management
    Strategic Planning
    Finance
    Economics
    Corporate Governance
    IT

    Corporate Governance is probably the easiest but you'll want to do it before IT in case you run out of time. The review courses have too many questions for IT and I don't think they really know what is on the exam.

    Operations Management is just about equal to Strategic Planning. You can switch those.

    During the review phase (everyday tons of MCQs, after you are all done with the textbook and assigned questions), I found it best to do the harder subjects in the morning/afternoon and the easier stuff, that don't require calculations, in the evening.

    AUD- 95- 8/16- (Ninja Avg. 81%)
    BEC- 82- 9/16- (Ninja Avg. 75%)

    thank you circadian malfunction! very helpful advice , i really need to take it into account since I tend to do the opposite and always end up covering only half of the material for all exam.
