    Sat for BEC this AM. MCs were iffy. Second testlet didn’t appear to be any harder than the first. Very few calc MCs…mostly theory. Almost no IT questions. I hoped for IT questions since I have a background as a systems analyst. Left feeling uncomfortable about my MC performance. TBS were manageable with nothing out of left field. I know I messed up on one because I failed to record a JE correctly. The others left me feeling hopeful. Lucked up and got one TBS on something I currently do in my present position. WC were 2 of a similar nature and one on a topic more suited for FAR than BEC. I’m hoping I did well enough on TBS and WC to help offset what I’m pretty confident was a poorer showing in MC.

    I almost rescheduled because I had been covered up with 14 hour days because we are in a merger process right now at work. I’m reluctantly glad I didn’t. Now to wait for the score and to move on to AUD.

    I took it today. last exam to pass. I studied in October, focused on AUD in Noveber, then came back to BEC for just about 10 hours this past week. I expected to fail cause I didnt do much this past week but was suprised at how moderate it was. 2nd MCQ testlet seemed easier than the first and I feel I did pretty good on the 1st one. I have no idea on these. The nice thing was the SIMS had all the formulas provided so I used those to do my best. The way I see it, if they throw out the SIMS I had a little trouble with I am ok. The suprising thing is how much of the previous material seems to overlap to BEC, especially AUD & FAR. Hoping this is it..

    @turo9992000 – I felt much worse leaving FAR than I did BEC. There were a couple of times during FAR that I honestly considered just leaving. I didn't have that response this time with BEC. I knew I had failed FAR. Thankfully, I was wrong. This one, I don't know. Based on TBS and WC, I'd say I passed. Based on MCQs, I'd say it's probably a fail.



    @jcman240
    – It sounds like we may have had one of the same SIMs based on your description.

    I feel the same way! I wouldn’t be so worried if I didn’t know 50% was riding on the questions that I don’t feel good about.
