I am taking REG next Thursday but then I have to jump in to BEC because my NTS expires on 10/28/09 for it. 

Is 3 weeks enough time to study for BEC?  I am going to take a few half days off of work during that time and I will only be using Becker.

Can it be done?  Any advice would be appreciated!!

Yes it can be.  It's very possible.

Of course it can be done.  It really depends on the person, their capabilities, and how familiar they already are with the material.  I see you did great on FAR with a 91, so I'd imagine you can surely do it.  In my case, I studied for BEC no more than 30 hours total and passed with an 82s, so take it from me you can do it.  And depending on your work/school/whatever schedule I'm sure you can get in at least 45-60 total hours studied.  Good luck!

Good to hear.  I put insane hours in to FAR which I attribute my score there.  I got an MBA earlier this year so I am hoping the Economics portion will be easy for me as well as perhaps a bit of the cost accounting.  The IT and governance stuff though looks foreign.

The econ is only 10% of BEC. But I think it's definitely doable in 3 weeks if you're diciplined. The IT portion is 20 or 25%. My job is IT-related, particularly database developement and management, and I consider myself IT-savy, so I assumed I'd have no problem with the IT. However I'm finding I'm doing poorly on the practice questions. It's not as intuitive as you think, and even having IT knowledge doesn't necessarily help.
