I'm taking BEC next Friday (20th).
I'm using Becker, which I'm not too confident about. I keep hearing that Becker isn't enough for the BEC section, so now I don't know how to proceed.... I mean, I'm still going to keep doing the hw questions and do the final exams, but in comparison to the AUD stuff my scores in the BEC hw is higher. So either the material is easier to grasp, or Becker really isn't enough study material for this section.

Becker is adequate for everything except IT (chapter 4), for which I would suggest supplementing with Wiley if you have time. I say "if you have time" because Becker is not woefully inadequate for IT, but it does leave a bit to be desired. However, plenty of people have passed fine with Becker alone.
I do think the BEC material is easier to grasp in that there is less material than the other exams have, but the exam seems to be graded most harshly. Many people, like myself, got their lowest scores in BEC even though we came out of the exam feeling most comfortable relative to the other sections.
But if you are doing well on the Becker questions, you'll be fine. Good luck on Friday!

I'm taking it the same day as you at 8:30 here in Boston. I'm feeling underprepared. I just finished all the Becker videos and all the MC. I have to go back and reread the book and do the supplementals, followed by the final exams. Then review more MC. I don't think a week is enough. Working full time is awful with this. My coworker just paid fifty-something to reschedule his BEC to January.

Woooop! Day for BEC. I started Yaeger Cram yesterday, and I have all ready learned some things on business structures I didn't know before, which were on the test... I am nervous of my timeline, but feel I can do it with 8+ hours a day studying.. Also I am familiar with all the material, I just need to smash it in my head... Hoping with FAR review I did, cost will be easier now. Plus Cindy teaches variances a different way than Becker, which is good because I never got that way. If you are struggling with BEC, don't rush it.. It's a hard test since it's only MCQ's but it sounds like you are right on track!!!
