cassanova, where did you hear that the exam will have 1/3 foreign material. I'm taking it 11/23 and use Becker and Wiley

I'm using the multiple choice questions
on the Wiley CD, at the end of chapters in the Wiley
book, and from Gleim, to study for the BEC exam. I'm
curious how the level of difficulty of these questions
compare to the actual exam. Are people finding the
results of their practice sessions with these questions
equate to similiar performance on the exam? Any
responses would be appreciated.

I did not use Wiley in my preparation for BEC (I used
Becker) but I found the practice exam questions to be
about the same difficulty level as the actual exam. The
wording of some computational questions was slightly
different, so it might help to use several different exam
resources in your preparation.

Taking it tomorrow - used Roger. I feel pretty good (fingers crossed). Some
of the overhead variance calcs is different than what I teach; I may review in
the morning, but otherwise this should be good. I'm not a fan of Wiley, and
think Becker is overblown (used them for Far).
