Best: keep practicing simulation on Becker

Best advice: study
Worse advice: don’t study

I crammed for 2 weeks to study then took the exam and felt bad about it. Someone told me to just start studying for BEC right away to take it again if I failed it (since I had to wait 2.5 weeks for my score). I was like nah I need to move onto FAR and not waste time then I ended up still passing BEC and not wasting time studying for it again.

Worst advice was that it’s the easiest to pass. Best advice was know the ratios. Do your best to know as many ratio and variance formulas as possible. I’d say don’t waste time with any calculation that looks way too wordy and takes a long time when practicing MCQs. The questions I got on exam day were pretty short and straight forward so don’t spend too much time getting frustrated with massive calculations.
