Quick question: did you have any access to any authoritative literature when you did the WC's?  In the past, those helped a bit with AUD, FAR, and REG. If not, were there any tools or resources that were of with with the WC?
Remember BEC changed in 2011 and there are no Simulations, only three WCs.  Therefore, there is no research tab, and thus no access to authoritative literature.  You just write about the concepts from the top of your head.

If I recall correctly, my test yesterday had three testlets of 24 MCs each, which total to 85% of the score, and then a fourth and final testlet which contained the three unrelated WCs, which account for 15% of total score.  The total time of the exam is 3 hours.  I personally spent two hours and 10 minutes on the MCs, a quick 5-minute restroom break, then 40 minutes on the three WCs.

That makes sense actually, for FAR you have the FASB's, and now ASC, for AUD, you have the SAS's, PCAOB stuff and everything else, and for REG you have the IRC. They haven't really given us codifications and laws for BEC, just generally accepted principles it seems.  I still think that it's going to be kind of rough doing WC without authoritative literature, especially if we have to write about something like cost accounting or IT.

Hi, do you have any suggestion on where I can find more reading on COSO and SOX? I read everything from Roger and Brisk 's review course. Is there anything online? Thanks!
