BEC was the most memorization based exam, i would try and read COSO/ERM, B2 formulas, all cost accounting variances every night before bed so i knew i has them locked. making flashcards for areas i was unsure about also helped

You can sign up by November 12 and take by December 15. Just keep pounding MCQs

Deadline to sign up for an NTS right?

At this point, depending on you’re state, you’re past the date when you still can apply for the old BEC exam, therefore will have to get on the new system (BAR, ISC, TCP). Don’t waste money on another course that’s obsolete.

Lucky you! Hope you smash it

Retake by 10/30. You get your score 11/8. Then if you need to you have one more chance to take using the current format. Go after it like your life depends on it.
