Has anyone taken the Becker Final Simulated Exam for the BEC section? If so, was the score comparable to your score on the actual exam. I'm really freaked out by it so I wanted to be sure I was on the level with others.

I take the test in 8 days!!

Thanks in advance for your input.

hey retro , i am scheduled to give the exam on the same date as you . i took one of the final exams  last week and got 84. I was so happy that my study pace actually decreased the whole of last week ,so am trying to get back to track this week .But i cannot give u any input on whether the becker exam result is any indication of the final exam . How much did you score ? But my assumption is that one must score much more on the beckers exam since most of the problems asked in the exam are part of the mCQs and also since we are more relaxed as its not a real exam .
I will atke the next exam sometime this week .

I scored a 92 on it today. I'm battling illness, so I took a nap right afterwards. It is my experience on the other tests that Becker was harder, I scored in the low 70s on those but in the 80s on the real exam,  but I know that is no indication that it will work this way this time. I spent an entire day cramming Economics and one other cramming IT because those are the areas I scored low on.

Now I am looking at the formulas I can't seem to remember from Cost and Finance and hoping for the best.

Good luck on your exam shilpjain! If anyone else has any input on the comparisons that has taken the exam, I would greatly appreciate it. Now, I'm going over the formulas.

I'm scared to stop studying. I've been told that unlike FAR, where you come out thinking you failed, and then pass, you come out of this one thinking you passed, and then you fail? Kind of scares me a bit!
