In my opinion the Becker exams are more difficult than the actual exam and I scored much lower than the actual exam. However, the exam is a great tool at the end of your studies to determine what areas you need to study more.

I've been using both Becker and Wiley, and my exam scores, in both cases, have been way better than what I scored on either one. AUD was the first that I used only the Becker questions, and while I was averaging about 80 on my Becker questions, I ended up with a 96 on the exam. The Becker questions made the audit exam seem ridiculously easy, because a lot of the questions seemed like they came directly from the Becker material and I had already worked them a million times.

I am starting to do random quizzes for the B3 section and getting on average 65-75 is that good or bad?

It depends on why you are getting the 65-75 (memorizing answers vs. actually knowing why you got it right), but in general, yes, those are solid scores. I would go for around 85% though.
