Is BEC doable in 2.5 weeks while working full time - 40 hours? I plan on dedicating 3 hours each weekday and 12 hours each weekend day. I most likely will also have a bit of time during working hours.

Absolutely do-able, especially if you have a degree in Accounting/Business Related. The majority of items on there are general business knowledge, I’d just focus on refreshing your finance formulas; PV, Annuities, etc.

Yes, but I’ve heard from multiple people that COSO and IT are heavily tested so really pay attention to those modules

Following! I plan to do it in 2 weeks 😅

I’m kind of doing the same! I’ll get back to you when I get the results. I think I’ll make it because the only unit that is giving me a headache is B2, after that I suspect everything else will be a ‘bottled up for a few days’ breeze.

I was fairly diligent last week, billed 60h, met all my deadlines and obtained positive feedback on my work. It was a lot harder than it sounds as I’m generally either late, screw up or get bad feedback. So big win. At the same time, it drained my body and brain to the point of not being able to work at all on Tuesday and spending the day watching TV. How do you build endurance and keep going when you feel limited? Ever think you’re just not made for this profession?
