Anyone took AUD today (4/1)? What are your thoughts? TBSs were a beast. I felt like there was a lot of ambiguity in the way the questions were structured (including mcqs).

Same boat with you as AUD is also my last test, but I don't take it until another few days. Curious how you allotted your time between the 2 McQ testlets and the 3 TBS testlets.

I completed MCQs in exactly an hour (all 72 of them). First TBS testlet (two TBSs) about 30 mins. For TBS testlet 2 and 3 I think I spent about 15-20 on each question. At the end had about 30 mins to check my answers.

I feel like there's no review that can truly prep you for TBS questions. I hope my educated guessing was on point, otherwise I don't know if I will continue retaking exams.

Good luck EZ!

I hope you pass this time.

Did you get a DRS? And how many research questions did you get?

Thank you

QueenCPA – Thank you & yes, I had one research question and one DRS.

i had awful experience in sims as well. I do not know what to expect from the exam. During the first time, i was sure that i passed the exam but then i failed. So having awful experience is not that bad after all.

Hey everyone,

New to ninja, I took audit 5 times and the scores were as followed…66,73,74,74,73. My becker subscription expired and I decided to try out Ninja. I'm taking the test at the end of May. Any huge differences from the old exams? Also, I purchased ninja notes and MCQ's. Do guys think that is a good substitute for a month of studying?

Any input really helps. thanks

Ruben, you are a tough player! I've been very happy with notes and mcq. I'm thinking take identify the sections you were weakest in especially for the last 2 or 3 exams, then hammer on those sections for at least 100 to 200 questions in Ninja. Keep track of your trending score. That's the power of Ninja v. the other guys – tactile feedback of progress!

Hi Guys,

I took AUD on 4/24. The Ninja notes were good. They complemented my book readings and test bank. The MCQ's were at least for me, very good. I won't say they were easy because had I not studied, they would have eaten me alive. During the second MCQ's testlet there were some of them that I had to read more than once just to understand what was being asked. The were very tricky. One word gave the question a whole different meaning.

Now the SIMS… LOL! that was a nervous laugh. There are 8 SIMS now. The usual research question mixed with a group of “it is not that bad and what on earth!!” I know that in 5 of them I got mostly all correct, in the other three I am not as confident specially because there was one that I completely guessed on… Make sure you practice the SIMS.

Like some of you this is my last exam, if I do not pass, I will lose my FAR credit and my BEC credit in DEC.

@Ruben , feel sorry to see your score,try ready the Auditing standard.Try Ninja MCQ and observe the answer ,it mention references.Not more then 15 you need to read once and your score will bump 10.
AR 80,90,120 must read.

Ninja MCQ is an excellent tool-it will really help you see where your weak areas are. there are also 80 SIMS and I highly recommend doing every single one!

Took audit on Saturday, felt like the MCQs were more difficult than the SIMs. Didn't get any DRS on my SIMs.

MCQ were pretty wordy, I flagged more questions in the second testlet, which I hope is a good sign.

For audit, we have more than enough time to finish the exam, I finished with more than one hour left.
