Retaking BEC this Friday. I'm screwed. I feel like any verbiage questions, I'll be OK on. Any Calc questions, even the ratios I really nailed last time, forgotten or never could memorize the steps in the first place. If my exam was math heavy, I'm dead.

Haven't studied all week due to preclose/close. Work 13 hours yesterday, clocked out then zonked out.

And now, since I'm in a panic, while I understand the computation concepts, it's not sticking [to memory]. Help!

I’m kinda in the same boat. Taking BEC (first time) in a week and I’ve gone through all the content but now studying I’ve realized I’ve forgotten a lot already. There are sooo many equations I don’t understand how we’re supposed to know all these. If I see the formula I can analyze changes good/bad, but without I’m basically just guessing. Hoping my exam is not math heavy. 😭

I was a pro with the ratios and now I only remember current, quick, WC, and WACC. Turnovers? Forget it 🥹

Not sure what you expect OP. I think at this point luck is virtually all you’ve got.
Can you take a last minute leave for the rest of the week?
If not, just practice MCQs on your break and cross your fingers

Yeah. Have been pounding MCQs as much as possible. No breaks unfortunately. It's black out period for PTO. Thanks!

Variance Analysis is always heavily tested in MCQ. I think getting these questions right will bump up your score.
