Took BEC this week and I know I didn’t pass. Feeling pretty burnt out from BEC, so gonna take a break and come back to it in December. Should I try for REG or FAR in the meantime?

No, finish out bec as soon as possible.
Reg and far can wait till after.

BEC will be a different exam in December. Also they’re not issuing new NTS for BEC after 11/15. So either pass as the exam currently is or you have to start over with a new exam.

Sorry to hear

Keep with BEC and get that done before the exam changes. You’ll be surprised on the actual test performance, a lot of people walk out of the exam sure they didn’t pass only to find out a few weeks later they earned a passing score. Good luck!

Actually I just reread your post. If you wanted to retake BEC I don’t think you can because you can’t apply for the NTS by 11/12 and they’re not issuing them after that. So you should focus on FAR (or AUD if you’re tax) and take it by 12/15.

Yeah. If they get the score by 11/8 they can apply for the NTS again by 11/12. Otherwise they can’t.

I don’t think you can take it again this year - unless you get your score back and can get another NTS by 11/15. I’m in the same boat as you pal
