IT is something of a wild card and it scares me.  IT represents one college course that I never took, and 25% of BEC!  Cindy from Yaeger says that IT is relatively new, compared to the other sections of BEC.  Therefore, there are not as many AICPA questions on IT. 

I plan to memorize most of the IT definitions.  I hope that the definitions will help me to understand the sick questions that BEC throws at me.

Yaeger recommends reading the Wiley book on IT and working all of the 85 multiple choice questions in Wiley.

I think it is the luck of the draw for IT questions on the exam.  I read/studied the chapter in the Wiley text and worked all of the multiple choice questions; I found the IT questions on the exam very doable, some were ridiculously easy and others were not so straightforward and harder, so a combination of difficulty.
