I received a text message late Friday night from a friend of mine, who, after a full month of waiting for her BEC scores, finally saw them posted on the NASBA website. A full month… for BEC, a test that is all multiple choice, and they say that these tests aren’t really weighted against everyone else taking it. It seems to me that there is a pretty clear reason why they are waiting so long to post these, and it isn’t because the computer couldn’t calculate your multiple choice answers.
Slowly the results for the other tests started to come out as well… and of course, in typical fashion, it seems, the FAR scores came out the next Friday night. I received another text message around 10 PM from one of my friends with his good news and I couldn’t keep myself from checking as well. GREAT NEWS: I PASSED. Surprisingly (in a good way), I did better than my other two friends, despite wanting immediately to start studying again for FAR when I got out of the test. The month-long wait wasn’t too exciting, however. Even though I passed, I wish that I would have received some feedback on my scores so that I can see where are my strengths and weaknesses.
Well, now that I’m done with those parts, I took AUD last week and felt okay about it. Time to start the waiting game for those scores.

Hey, is there a study pattern that you followed which helped you tackle this course?
Like, how did you keep yourself fresh as you go from chapter to chapter…I am doing the Becker review, looking to do the FARE and REG in Jan-Feb window … A success story is always an inspiration.:)

congrats on your passing score!! You must feel so proud/relieved
Chris: I think the most important thing is to find a study schedule that fits your lifestyle and then stick to it! If that means studying before work and on your lunch breaks, or if it means cramming in a half hour during your kids’ soccer practice – just keep reviewing as much and as often as possible. And deviate from your study schedule as infrequently as possible. Diligence is key. Good luck this winter!
