5 days to study for BEC. I have only finished the B1 in Becker. Any tips on how I should approach the remaining chapters or accept failure?

Don’t take the L. Fight like a champ.
1st recommendation - move the test. People are dropping off like flies and seats are opening up.

If this is out of the question:
Day 1 - do the final review (all 5 sections - take notes on anything you think you can’t recall formula or concept wise)
Day 2-3 - pound 100’s of questions (yes this is insane but yes it’s possible - 100 per chapter, so 600 minimum)
Day 4 - take ME’s and an SE’s and see how you do, then pound questions some more on your weak spots.
Day 5 - get up early, have some breakfast and refresh through reading on things you struggled with, then go take your test.

Hope this helps! Psychotic, but only fighting chance you have if you refuse to move your test date. Def think BEC is a 3-week kind of test though.

Hope this helps!

I second the 100 MBQs. Tons of exposure and helps build that exam day endurance of 62 questions. If you can handle 100 in a sitting, you can handle 2 test let's if 31.

You already paid. Might as well try your best.

Honestly, take your L and prepare for BAR. You’ll be too stressed out trying to cram all of that information.
