Scores just released today and I received a 71 on AUD (First time taking it). Studied for about a month. I used Roger lectures, Ninja notes/audio, and hammered Ninja MCQ. I felt fairly comfortable with the material.
So, my plan is to go back to MCQ and hammer them out until the end of December and retake first week of January. I’m pretty busy at work Jan-March so I’d like to try again before that. What do you guys think?

I'm in the same boat as I received a 70, and with tax season looming, I'd like to knock this out as well. I use Becker but I'm considering buying the Ninja MCQ and notes and just hammering those over the next few weeks.

I took AUD 2x. The first time I only used a local exam prep course (called MDS), and i received a 61. I then decided to purchase the NINJA materials, i believe the scout package, and bumped my score up to an 84. The second time i ONLY used NINJA. I highly recommend doing as many MCQs as possible per day (my goal was 100 questions and 5 sims per day) and rewriting the NINJA notes.

You're both so close. Just hammer down and knock out the MCQs!!

I am in the same boat as you. It was my first time taking the exam and I received a 70 on AUD. Pretty bummed because I thought I did better. I used Becker but I am also going to purchase the Scout package and do as many multiple choice as possible. Does anyone have any other advice on how to tackle a retake of a failed exam?

I got a 71 on Aud as well. I used Becker and can't say how annoying the study material is. For how much people have raved and raved about it in undergrad, I'm disappointed by overly complex it can be! I think I'll be supplementing material for this retake soon!

[Jackie]

I agree with you, I was pretty disappointed in it as well. Do you know what your plan is for the retake? Will you be watching the lectures again?

[Swindle]

I will not be watching the lectures again. I am just going back to Ninja MCQ and will hammer a lot of questions and go over my notes between now and the first week of January (Looking to retake January 4th. Waiting on NTS). I’m fairly familiar with the topics so I think I just need to focus on trouble areas in the multiple choice and drill those. The simulations are what they are so I won’t focus on practicing those too much.

@swindle I am looking to buy the ninja MC. Should I buy the scout of sniper package for me retake? Thanks!

[Recked]

The assault package is on sale for the same price as the sniper… just sayin…
And it gives you 1 year access over the same priced sniper, plus more tools.

[Swindle]

The Scout would work just fine but I like the assault or sniper just for the extended access time. I don't have to worry about buying the package again if I don't pass it in time.
