What are the odds of studying for 2 weeks and passing BEC or should I just push the exam back

You should study hard for 2 weeks. Atleast get to see what’s on the exam, since BEC is going away my theory is that the test makers don’t have the resources to introduce new question, sims etc etc. I would say that whatever you see on your first attempt will be close to what you see on a second attempt. Goodluck!

Good point, there isn’t going to be any new questions created

At this point, I don’t think you can schedule a second BEC attempt, can you?

It really depends. For BEC I’ve seen entirely across the board. I have friends who barely studied and got mid 80s and I have friends who were in the most prestigious honor society in the business school fail it 3 times. I am not sure why there’s such a variance in this exam

If you’re studying Hard you may be ok, I studied for BEC for 4 weeks and passed while working full time plus I have a family at home. If you can avoid any and all distractions you may be successful. I think you have until 11/15 to request an NTC for BEC
