I just found out I passed REG (yay) but I also just took BEC yesterday. I passed FAR in December so I feel I have gauged what it feels like when you walk out knowing you did well. For both REG and FAR I felt my testlets getting harder and even though the questions were extremely difficult it was clear I was doing well. I walked out scared because they were hard but feeling confident I knew my stuff well enough for them to keep getting harder. For BEC I did not feel this way. I used the same study methods and felt very prepared for the exam as with REG and FAR but I even had difficulty with the first testlet. I know you never really know what a medium vs hard and etc is but I really do not think the testiest got any more challenging. I feel it was all basic concepts and simple math but for some reason I still felt like I was getting silly stuff wrong. I got a few questions on equations I just hadn’t memorized because I hadn’t thought they would carry such significance. I’m really nervous about this and even though I understand you can’t really base it off testlest getting harder I was hoping someone would have some advice or a similar experience!

Thanks! and sorry for the length here, just trying to best explain how I felt!

I felt really good walking about of BEC and I just found out today I got an 87. What I noticed with BEC is that the questions were very straightforward and very similar to the questions I practiced with in Gleim. So as I was taking the test it all felt very familiar and comfortable to me.

I did NOT feel this way leaving FAR, and my score is very similar to BEC. With FAR, I left feeling totally drained, like half (or more) of the questions came out of left field, and like I had no idea what to expect. I think BEC is just a different kind of test than the rest of them.

Not sure if this helps at all, but that's at least how I felt and I still passed! Feelings are never a good thing to gauge how well you performed on these tests. Just do your best to put it behind you until your score release!

Congrats on passing REG!

Just found out I passed!! Couldn't be happier and more relieved that I was wrong about it being too easy (I guess), just wanted to put it on here in case anyone reads this in the future and is nervous after a similar experience. It was definitely nothing like FAR or REG but glad to have 3 down.

I had the same feeling taking BEC walking out.

I did pass, but my score wasn't near my expectation. I literally thought I would pull something like 90.

But, at least it is a good sign, rather than walking out feeling that you had no idea, istn it?

Working full-time and taking all 4 parts in one window.

If I can do it, you all can too.
