Well I suspect others have felt like this, but my preparation was fairly substantial and I now have to following opinion after sitting for the exam.

1) I should of let go on a few of those frustrating MCQ's probably lost 20 mins in total on them and it cost ME very valuable time on the 2nd simulation (didn't have time to finish). 

2) The writing parts should be straight forward and they were.  Didn't have any issues, went well I would even say.

3) the range of substance on my personal exam was SO narrowly defined it was almost as if they knew where I was strong and where I wasn't. 

Lastly, I am not complaining if I have to take again, I will be ready since I have learned soooo much already in my 2 months of perparation.  Good luck to anyone taking the exam, and don't do what I did which was to spend anymore than 2-3 mins on MCQ's.  

I actually think the exam in 2011 will be better will simulations on 6-7 topics and not 1 or 2 !!

hello!

Thanks for sharing your experience. I'm using Becker too.
It would be great if you could let me know the 'gaps' in
their material, so that i can supplement my studies with
some other book.

You can always hope that the areas that were not well covered by Becker were pretest questions!
