BEC: Afterwards

In response to Claudio's comment on my last post:
BEC was, for the most part, what I expected -- everything that doesn't fit into one of the other three test sections gets lumped into BEC. I still don't know how I feel I did on it, though. I read the first question and had literally never studied anything on what it was asking me. That was frustrating because I had studied so much. It led me to believe that my study material omitted some topics. I wasn't surprised, as BEC is the newest of the sections and, in my opinion, has yet to be perfected by the review providers. Moving along...I got past the first question and tried to think positive about the next 71. I found that the math questions on the test were simpler than the ones I had studied at home. I either knew (or had a really good idea) on what the answer was for most of the questions. Also, I was happy to see that the three writing components were on topics that I knew -- score! However, I barely had enough time to finish. I closed the exam with 10 minutes to spare and I didn't use any breaks (I never do). Therefore, I didn't get to review each section as thoroughly as I would have liked. I hope, because of this, I didn't miss too many important key description words in the questions -- it's those words that'll getcha! I think that whether I passed or not depends on whether I read each question correctly. Fingers crossed! A week until I know for sure. In the mean time, on to REG.

Happy Studies!

Thank you Lauryn. I am preparing it for the Oct. 4 date. I already took your advice for the equations: a lot of flashcards. I actually carry them around everywhere. I hope for the best for you.
Ciao
