I have just started with BEC 1 (Corporate Governance) from Becker. Anyone find that questions asked in MCQs are not covered in the Becker textbook content itself? Or am I doing something wrong? Should I use some other review for the theory parts?

You’re right. The mcqs don’t always match the context. To me is seems like the purpose of it is to learn from your wrong answers.

I've just started using the MCQs as part review and partially just more content to learn. I' about halfway through the BEC content and I think all the units have had some questions not directly covered in materials.
