I took both of the Becker BEC final exams and scored much better on the first than on the second.  Did anyone else have that experience?  And does anyone know how they compare to the real exam?  Were the Becker exams harder, easier, or about the same?

one practice exam is usually harder than the other. i've read around that most do better on the actual exam than the becker practice exams, my experience included...but don't let that give you a reason to slack obviously!!

good luck!

Nolife - thanks for your input.  I remember with FAR and AUD, I failed the Becker exams, but passed them in real life.  So your point is well taken.  It's still discouraging that after studying so hard, I still didn't do so well on the second one.  By the way, your userid describes me perfectly.  No life is close to what I have.  I can't wait for this to be over.  Good luck!

Sat for BEC last Saturday. Wasn't bad at all. A few questions that
Becker and Wiley didn't cover (were they 'test' questions?), but the
rest was straight forward. Essay part was actually enjoyable (I like to
write).

I've only taken the first becker simulated exam. I noticed a lot of the
questions, especially computational were reused from the homeworks, was
the second simulated exam like that as well?
