Yeah totally. That was the easiest one. And I think they don't grade it as harshly. Go for it

Oh okay!

Yup you definitely can! And if you enjoy economics it’ll be cake. Crammed it in 2 weeks and scored a 96. You got this🙌🏻

I did just that - it was my last test and I scored in the low 90s on the other 3 so I said I want my life back and will take a 75. I think I got an 86 or something. 2 weeks after REG.

I had Becker so I crammed. Test was also very new (this was 2006) so I thought studying was less effective anyway. I remember study material asking like what does MB stand for (megabyte) so I took a chance.

Yes, BEC is the one that you can cram for and pass

If you have most of the info fresh in your mind from school or from using in your day to day, you could cram in a long weekend and still pass

You could pass it in less than 1 week if you cram MCQs hard. It's by far the easiest exam.

Yes. That’s how I passed. Definitely crammed the week before but that honestly works best for me

Yes absolutely. I did it in 12 days.

Definitely, just grind

Yes. That's how I did it.

A friend is considering deferring an offer (stem PhD) for 1 year straight out of undergrad to work in NY, either in a research institution or a biotech.

To what extent did you find that a year or two of work impacts prospects coming out of PhD? How might a year off from school impact her PhD work itself?

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
