You answer it yourself when you said that you never
failed anything in your life. I used Becker study
materials...
Please read my comments above and then answer the
following questions:

Do I have a study plan that is realistic?

Do I follow the study plan?

What is the total # of hours I spent to prepare for this
part? (Recommended: 250-300 hours per section)

Did I study everyday as consistence is the key to
retaining the materials?

I don't need to see the answers to the questions above,
it was design to help you question your commitment and
help you pass the exams.

Good luck.

Such a difference. Per Gleim, you only need 70-80 hrs per section :)
At least that's what the materials said. I know I had way more than that.
I bought an additional Wiley book for AUD and another Wiley Book called "Cracking the simulations" or something like that anyways. I wanted to find out how my BEC went before I focused on AUD.
Thank you very much Ravidave for inspiration. I will try. I need a break from BEC. I'll retake it last.
I appreciate your patience with venting people like me. Sleeping it off helped a bit :)

Maine, mistake..you are making a big mistake by not
continuing to pursue BEC as you already have at least 50%
of the required knowledge to pass the exam!! Don't let it
slip, attack it vigorously, work those questions again and
again...10 weeks of 25-30 hours and it will be yours.

Last year at this time I was preparing for BEC and
studied everyday including Christmas and new year's...Hard
work has it's rewards...

Good Luck

Well. I don't really have a choice. I need to take Auditing before it expires. See what happened was that I took my BEC at th end of August for the first time. Between the end of august and middle of september I already paid for AUD and scheduled it for October. In september I found out that I failed so I pushed audit for winter and scheduled BEC for the second time for November. I failed it again and the clock is ticking. I have to tackle AUD before my NTS expires and I don't want to take it during tax season since my work week is 50-60 hrs long. I don't think I can phisically do both in the winter.

I see what you're saying though. I tried. :)

I completely understand. The same process for Audit, 10
weeks 25-30 hours per week.

Good Luck
