I am taking REG tomorrow. I have gotten scores that range from the 50s to 60s range on the Becker simulated exams. Do I have a chance of passing this exam tomorrow?

yes, becker grades harsher than the actual exam since they don’t account for partial credit. there’s also a generous curve

like

Yup because Becker doesn’t account for the questions or simulation complexity. The CPA exam is graded completely different. There’s a video about it from the AICPA on YouTube
