Aside from variances, what other topics did you get for Sims in BEC ? Currently reviewing SIMs with Becker but there’s not a lot of them.

I sat 2 days ago. I didnt get SIMS on variances. Most of mine were IT related (even for mcq). I had some variances questions in mcq.

Idk how the software decides what questions you get lol but people who sat the same day as me got variances sims

Took BEC 3 times in the past few months and didn’t have any variance SIMs either. all IT related and some about internal controls. Each time none of the SIMs had a Becker equivalent for example that I could find. Also had a SIM about SWOT analysis and determining the cost benefit to continuing to manufacture a product in house or outsource. I did have one written portion about variances and another about ratios.

Thanks this is helpful. It’s tough bc I feel like there’s so many various topics to know and they are not interrelated at all.

If yes, how much one can expect in variable pay for fixed compensation of around 25-30lpa.

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11.

I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.
