Should I take BEC before the new changes next year? I would have a months time to prepare but I’m a slow learner and currently working full time (more like part time since it’s slow now). Today’s the last day to apply to take the exam for the NTS and I haven’t studied at all. Is it worth the risk? What if I don’t pass? That would be time wasted on studying for BEC and I wouldn’t be able to go back and review and test again. Appreciate any advice.

I highly doubt you’d get a seat at Prometric. The majority of people want to get it done before 12/15.
