I feel like I tanked the BEC MCQs but felt good on the writing and sims. Ughhhhhhhh I got in the 70s on my practice and that felt so bad and hit all my weaknesses. I still have to do FAR, but do I switch back to BEC potentially or is it better to wait it out for scores?

I would just start FAR now. It’s a bit of a risk but if you scored in the 70s on practice tests then it’s likely you passed. I felt pretty bad coming out of BEC and scored in the 90s so I don’t think you have much to worry about

It was like 71 or 76 I don’t remember and I half assed it so who knows with these things.

If it makes you feel better, I got a 48 on the only BEC mock I took and got an 85 on the actual exam.

I took BEC this morning and am moving to FAR next. Honestly I’m just going to take a break and enjoy life for the next week and a half since score release is so soon. When are you trying to sit for FAR?

When did you take BEC? I sitting Monday morning. Also looking to take FAR 6/30. 😩😔

I originally had it for 6/30, but they removed material from the exam effective 7/1. I found that appealing so pushed a day lol

And I took BEC May 22nd and I got really nervous randomly weeks later haha

I felt the EXACT same as you and scored an 86. Also scored 60s on the mock exams. You’re fine.

I trended mid 60s using Becker and Ninja on all the exams I passed. Never trended in the 70s. I think you’re good lol

I thought referrals happen when the person being requested to refer you has personal faith in your talents due to knowing a thing or two about you/what you have to offer.

Guess I’m trying to understand how to leverage and use referral requests for myself if needed.
