Why does it seem like BEC has the highest percentage of people who "think" they did better than they actually ended up doing on the exam? For the other sections, a lot of people (including me) leave the testing center thinking they failed but pass. But for BEC, I always hear about people leaving confident, feeling like they aced it, and then getting a 76, or an 80. These same people will say they thought they failed the other sections and they usually score higher on those other sections than they do on BEC. Why is there such a disparity between perceived and actual performance on this section?

It makes me nervous because I never left Prometric feeling confident about FAR, REG or AUD. So if I don't feel confident with BEC, should I expect catastrophe?

May I ask what review course you took? How are the exam questions? Are they easier or more difficult? Thanks

I used Becker for FAR and REG, and Yaeger for AUD. I'm using Yaeger for BEC right now.
