For BEC exam - are some of the TBSs written responses that are graded on content? I know there is the written section that is graded on writing skills. But Becker has a bunch of TBSs that say “you’ll be graded for technical content AND writing skills”

All of the communication TBSs will be graded on content and writing skills. YouTube will have videos explaining exam structure and how certain parts will be graded. Highly recommend you look into it before walking into the exam.
