Comment by Anna Stefan on January 18, 2012 at 7:38am The practice test at AICPA was a joke, just 5 MQ.
Comment by Michael on January 17, 2012 at 6:35am @ Anna - I feel exactly the same. Not a high concentration on any area in particular. Just very strange wording on the COSO questions - as I understood the definition and most of the framework for ERM and Internal Control - I still couldn't figure out what they were asking. Other than that the test just bounced around a lot.
@Kristin - One thing I wish I would have done is a practice test at the AICPA website. Because the mcq's were worded very different than in my wiley book and my wiley CD.
Comment by Anna Stefan on January 17, 2012 at 6:21am @ Michael...I got 74 in November and just went yesterday again. The exam was x3 time more difficult and really this time I was more prepared than in November, I spent 80 hrs studying and re-doing x2 Becker and all examples in the book, AICPA released questions.
Many poorly worded questions, many theoretical questions that I had no idea (COSO) and about 10 MQ in each testlet were heavy calcs.
WC were easy but I had only 20 minutes left...
@ Michael - thanks! I gotta get back into the swing of things with studying. I have about 5 weeks and I'm only halfway through chapter 1. Too much stuff going on. How was the test, anything I should focus on? I always get that i'm stronger in the SIMS so I'm not worried so much about them.
Comment by Michael on January 16, 2012 at 8:40am @Kristin - I just re-took BEC saturday. Got a 74 in November. I have a terrible feeling I'll be taking it again in May after tax season. Best of Luck to you!
Taking BEC of the 3rd time Feb 25th. Hopefully this will be my last test and then I will be a CPA. Took AUD for the 2nd time on Saturday. Already passed REG and FAR. REG expires May 2012.
