For me, it is not very hard, but really too tough, because there were so much calculations. In my exam, it is more than 50%. I didn't have enough time to finish my writing.
I passed it last month.
You may do more practice with time-on
good luck

I did Roger, did all of the MCQs and lectures, and didn't open up the Wiley
book (I did the same for Aud and it worked for me). We'll see tomorrow.
I'm hoping this is an easier one for me because I have my undergrad in
theoretical economics, an MBA, an MS in Accounting & Tax, and I did IT/Bus
Proc Reengineering/Benchmarking/Strategic consulting for a big 4 for 10
years. And I aced managerial as an undergrad elective, and have taught
managerial/cost. The only stickler for me is the metrics (I'm horrible at
memorization) and some of the variance analysis. But I am hopeful! Will
post an update after tomorrow's exam (yes, I have the dates backward in my
profile).

I just took BEC.... I found it to be worse than FAR...
I don't know it just seems like everything tested on Control Environment and Internal Control was not covered extensively
Did anyone else feel like this? I don't get how I am supposed to study for those topics if both Becker and Wiley didn't cover it in detail as much.
I used Bisk software/book and wiley book for studying and practice.

Snake_Pliskin...I completely feel the same way as you. Are you a member of the CPA Exam Club? Maybe we can help each other out? This is my last test and it's killing me. I know we'll find out our result next week but I'm going back to my studying track tomorrow. Yaeger prepared me enough for most of the questions but I think that Wiley's missing quite the 'edge' for me to pass. I've been scanning through the book since I got home and the materials that I didn't know how to answer are not here!!! Ba! humbug!..I really didn't want to study during the Holiday season.

Yeah I feel your pain... Not sure if its the program or what because they all have the same information.. I studied a lot and I feel like I didn't do well on the internal control and IT stuff...
