    Hey gang,

    I’m taking BEC on March 10, and just looking for a bit of advice on how to prepare for the Written Communication tasks. I’ve practiced a few of the Becker examples, but would just like to hear some others’ experience on how they rocked them. 🙂

    I’m purely using Becker.

    Thanks!

    1st paragraph, basically rewrite what they are asking you to write, 2-3 sentences
    2nd paragraph, layout support facts, 4-5 sentences
    3rd paragraph, layout another supporting fact, 4-5 sentences
    4th paragraph, close it out, 3 sentences

    key is to write to the point that is being asked of you. At least two times use the phrase they are asking you about.

    Are we supposed to address the person's name? Like Dear Ms. Xxx?

    Yes, start like this:

    To: xxxxx, XYZ Company
    From: You, CPA Candidate

    Finish very last thing under your last paragraph:

    You, CPA Candidate
