imo, becker exams are known to be more difficult. Everyone I talk to can barely or hasn't passed becker practice exams and has passed the exam on exam day.

Same as BDO, Becker is supposedly more difficult so the Becker bump theory is that you should add 10-15 points to the score on your Becker mock exams and that would be reflective of your real cpa score. Also check out the AICPA practice exams, it shows you simulations used in the past exams

It's only one. I am on my third exam now and it has only been 1 per exam.

Was about the same. Grind MCQs for a few weeks and should be fine

I found REG sims to be super easy (second to BEC). This is mainly because you can leverage the authoritative literature to find all of your answers.

What do you mean by that ?

I found that I did 10points better on the real exam than what I got on becker’s exams. I think becker is harder than the real one

Becker seemed to be harder than the real exams. I got 5-10 points higher on the real exams than I was getting on the Becker exams

I recently applied for a position in one of McKinsey’s recently acquired firm for Senior Software Engineer (Team Lead).

The interview process is so damn easy - A medium level Hackerrank test, interview with company CTO and then behavioural round with a McKinsey Director and offer extended.

Wondering if this is a red flag.
