I wish I could help you, but I just took the exam yesterday and I used Becker as well. I won't know how I did until early November. Good luck!
The test was more challenging than than the Becker final exams and the questions were kind of in a different format than those in passmaster. I kept getting this one type of question - they would want me to calculate something but didn't give the information needed. Rather, they would provide little bits of other information and I had to go through a couple of calculations before getting to what I needed to answer the questions. I still think Becker prepared me well though. As already implied, my test was heavy on calculations. Pretty much my whole second testlet was calculations. It took me about 40 minutes to finish it! I was surprised how detailed they get on COSO and ERM, so put more effort into learning the details, not only the big picture. Finally, I think the WC were fine. Two of mine were on clear BEC topics. The third one was based on a basic accounting concept that I think many will be able to write on.
Good luck, everyone!
