Don't feel bad about a blown summer- happens to the best of us. I had plans to go to California and Florida but have to cancel because of this horrible exam. Just think this way - our last summer of studying. It will make next summer that much better!

Dparkx81, that's an excellent idea having a mini study group with this darn section. I'll probably catch up with you guys, since I'm in the middle of FAR review for mid July. Keep me posted please...

Please add me as well, I got a horrible score....and I need as much help possible
I too thought it was the easiest part but come to find out I think its waaaay harder than REG....Although I hate simulations I think that in a way they help us get those "extra" points we need to pass.

hey Dpark........add me to that study list :-) And I felt the exact same way about BEC......heck I crammed for 40% of the REG exam in ONE WEEK AND STILL PASSED........but good ole BEC got me good! I got really cocky and just knew that surely it couldn't be that bad....for crying out loud I passed the other 3 parts on my first real attempt. It is hard to swallow that every Saturday while my husband and 1 year old daughter go to pool parties, BBQ's, and the park....I am stuck in a freakin library for 7 hours. Just thinking about it depresses me and here it is only Thursday.
I too have been stung by BEC. I practically had my licensing papers in the mail. Luckily I didn't give them to my supervisor to fill out yet or that would have been embarrasing! Now I have lost my credit for Audit and wonder if I can go through with this anymore. I've been so depressed, but now I know I'm not alone!

AGarcia and Joanna,
I feel your pain! To fail this section (which is considered the easiest) is heart breaking. I don't think this is the easiest section at all. My attitude was all wrong going into this exam. I was big headed and thought I would whiz by BEC. Boy was I wrong. This time, I will go through every concept and make sure I know everything. We can have a mini study group going if you want so all three of us can pass this exam. If it wasn't for one lousy point, I'd be a CPA now. It really sucks!
I realized that we can't really judge the book by its pages.. BEC is the thiniest among the four sections... Yep got to know its concepts back to back...
