Hi all! In which order do you recommend studying BEC chapters ? Which ones are heavily tested compared to others ? (For example in AUD A3-A4 were tested for sims and I’ve studied A1-A5-A6)

Ok thanks I’ll just follow the blueprint !

ALWAYS go from the Tech section to the economics section and then start over from the beginning and work ur way thru.

Every chapter in BEC is unique. What material you get tested on will vary. So it’s important to cover or get comfortable my majority of the material.

If I am reading this correctly, this is the perfect time to be taking the CPA exam. You basically have 2-3 years to get through all the exams. Am I reading that right?
