Don't worry about it. You'll pass it next time. Even with the changes. Don't freak out about the changes... you can handle simulations and an extra hour. Not a big deal!

I thought the same about FAR and got 81. Just try not to think about it and when the score is released, take it from there

It's okay, I failed BEC too.

You can do it!!

^ Wow 81 in FAR is fantastic! What did you do to get that score? Tell me your study plan

I've failed it twice! I keep underestimating it

Exactly how I felt taking it recently. Hoping for the best

I came out of BEC knowing I failed, only to get a 77. Have some faith! Hope everyone in this thread passes!

Amen 🙏🏻

CH1, thanks but 81 is not impressive. You know can't underestimate the beast and put in the time. Strides for 100 hrs over 2 months but the trick is to cram the review, otherwise, by the time the test comes, you'd forget the tricky details which they test on

I think you meant CH2, but thanks for the tips!
