    After spending 150 hours of studying and scoring 90s on progressing test, I decided to take Becker final exam 1. My scores are:

    Testlet #1 62%
    Testlet #2 58%
    testlet #3 62%

    Now I feel underprepared and my confidence is totally destroyed. I have 40 more study hours left before my exam. Any advice will be appreciated.

    I just took BEC today. The only advice I have is figure out your weaknesses, and spend the rest of the time learning it. Not just reading or memorizing, but looking up every resource you can to understand the concept. This helped me a lot after I took my Becker finals, and I think it helped me narrow down my answers on the real thing.

    Thanks for the advice! The sad part is I memorized almost every formula but didn't understood the concept. I went over chapter 1 and 2 and in detail. 4 more chapters to go. Good luck on your exam!

    I have taken Bec and AUD and honestly I believe BEC is twice as hard, but again, everyone is different. I memorized most of the formulas, however there were some calculations that were not covered in my study material. I just hope two and half week enough time for a retake.

    Please remember that you cannot divulge the “nature” of your exam. I had to remove some posts from this thread. – jeff

    AUD - 79
    BEC - 80
    FAR - 76
    REG - 92

    I was expecting my second testlet to be harder, but its was extremely easy. I was a little disappointed to realize my first testlet didn't go to well, but I didn't give it. I flagged few questions on the second testlet. I assumed my third testlet will be hard, but once again it was a medium. WC wasn't hard but I didn't know how to bs four paragraph on that topic, so I threw in key words randomly. Overall, I do not feel confident at all.
