All done...well at least I hope. Just took my last section of the exam. I
spent most of my final review days mastering variances and what
happens? Not 1 calculation question on it! I guess it's better to be
prepared than be surprised, huh? I was actually surprised to find out that
about 80% of my exam was theory and not calculations. MCQs were
mostly on IT, COSO and Econ, with maybe 5% on a combination of
budgeting and cost. Of course every exam will have a different mix, but
there was nothing on the exam that looked foreign or difficult. I used
Becker 2011 and the Wiley online test bank. Actually about 7 of the
questions from Wiley test bank were on my exam and most of the
questions on the exam were about the same difficulty as Wiley. I would
definitely recommend spending the $50-$70 on the online test bank...it
was definitely what prepared me the most.
Good luck to everyone. It was definitely not as difficult as the other
exams, in my opinion.

Congratulations my friend. If you don't mind me asking, was there anything from REG that helped you in BEC? I've just registered for BEC at the end of February, and I'm taking AUD in 4 days and I passed FAR last year.
I have yet to take REG and just wanted to squeeze out BEC before the blackout period, is it really going to hurt me if I haven't taken REG yet when I take BEC?

Where/How can I purchase the Wiley Test Bank?
$50 is worth it...
