Can anyone provide me useful studying advice/things done differently for passing BEC? It’s my last section and have failed it 3 times all in the 70s. I have Becker and fastforwardacademy. Then purchased Ninja for the 3rd attempt for the IT questions. This exam is giving me the hardest time and cranking out MCQs isn’t helping me this it did for the others. I also don’t feel like any of what I mentioned prepares me for the SIMs that I see.

TIA

I went old school on BEC. With Becker they give you the memory tools for coso and erm but I just couldn’t ge them solid. I wrote those a bunch of times until I had it memorized. We are talking 20+ each. Then just did bunch of MC.

Good luck! You got this!!! 🤞🏻🙇🏼‍♀️👩🏼‍💻

Oh! And review the Becker videos on the written part. More about structure then content.

Ugh! You’re almost there with the 70s. I would get a tutor.

Also I use Roger and have had a great experience but one part is $400. I feel like you’d be better spending that (hopefully less) on a tutor

California peeps. I have a feeling I failed FAR, which is my last exam, but my score isn’t released until May 11. Can I submit the reapplication with the CA Board of Accountancy to speed up the retake and NTS process in case I failed? Or do I need to get my exam score first? I need to pass by mid June, else my REG score expires, hence the rush to resubmit the re-application.
