I took audit on 8/21 and it was my last exam. Double checked every single MC and Sim, still have 30 minutes left. MC are easy, and Sims are easy too. I got 3 FAR questions and 2 DRS. I am afraid that because my testlets were easy, I have to get a way higher accuracy on them, so I get curved down.

Will I pass??

Took my AUD exam on 9/10 and had the exact same experience. Finished the MCQ in about an hour and finished the whole exam with an hour left. Everything was relatively easy, which is why I have this terrible feeling that I failed (FAR nightmares again). I've always heard that you usually only tend to pass if your testlets get more difficult. Also, I had 2 research SIMS as well.

For those of you who mentioned having similar experiences, how did you guys end up doing?

My first AUD test seemed impossibly hard and I got a 74. The second test seemed really easy and I got a 94.

AUD was the only exam I ever walked out of “knowing” I had passed it…. well I didn't I got a 74 my first try.

Took it again and felt like it was a much harder test and that I had failed again but snuck out a 77 to be done!

First go at the CPA! Only using Becker
Reg / Nov 2015 - 87
Far / Apr 2016 - 79
Bec / May 2016 - 80
Aud / Aug 2016

I feel pretty much the same!I took aud on 9/8. It was easier than I thought. Sims were reasonable, nothing crazy.
I had similar felling when I took bec. It was weird, mcq didn't really get harder and all computations were simple. I thought I either really failed or passed by hair but I got 81.
I hope we all pass!

REG: 77 x2
BEC: 81 x3
FAR: 68 retake 10/1
AUD: 8/27

5 more days, and I'll finally get to see how I did. Hopefully this is the last score release for me.

I don't know. I took Audit in late August. I studied so much – the entire Summer. I think I went outside (for fun) maybe 5 times between June and my test date. I took s full week off before the test, and put in 10-15 hours of hard-core studying and reading the book (several times) before my test.

Audit is the test I was most worried about, because I have zero Audit experience. I went in, nervous as always, and the MC seemed reasonable. The SIMS were okay – not quite as easy. I had 2 research questions. I felt confident about the research questions, but I wonder if that means I was doing poorly. During the MC, I kept thinking…”HA! I know you are trying to trick me! Not this time, examiners!” I wish I felt more confident with the Sims. There were just so many options…but I picked the best ones that I could. I did have some time left at the end…where I basically stared at the Sims and made sure I felt comfortable submitting.

I guess we will see on the 19th! This is my second summer…gone. I hope I can say that this summer was worth it, and my prize will be a passing score.

Good luck to all!!! 🙂

No such thing as a curve down – AUD is tricky my first time I thought it was easy and flunked – I fell for the traps of Audit
