My AUD exam experience was soo nice that it reminds me of that time I went to Hawaii compared to when I took FAR. I still have a little PTSD from the FAR exam.

I’m a little worried though. I finished a couple hours early and I didn’t even feel the need to review any of my answers. My first section seemed really easy to me and the next two just seemed easy. There weren’t any of the harder questions or topics I was expecting. I know a couple of the questions that I did get wrong because I remembered them and looked them up from home. But the rest of the test I just feel the questions were very straight forward and easy to answer right away.

This is why I worry. So many people say they thought the test was easy and they fail. What if the test lulled me into a false sense of security because I knew a good portion of the answers but there were some I only thought I knew? What if the questions I thought were straight forward actually had a twist, and I didn’t catch them? I can’t help being nervous about how easy I think this test was.

The simulations were ridiculously easy for me. There was nothing challenging to me on any of the sims. I am less worried I did poorly on the sims than the MC. I had two research questions and I found the exact match for both of them.

I know I’m probably being silly about this all, but if this auditing is really hard for so many people and it was this easy for me, I might have to reconsider my decision to work in taxation.

Good luck to all of you who are taking AUD soon. I hope you get as easy of a test as I did!

After all that build up you would think I got a 99 on AUD. I actually got an 88 and I'm really happy with that.

Shit, I'd be just as happy with that. I am hoping my experience goes the same way. Confident of passing so I can get back to life, then getting confirmation of passing a few weeks later.

Nothing like coming out knowing you're “OK”

Audit is crazy. After my exam I thought it was so difficult and I didn't pass and I got a 95. Scoring is so weird. Anyway good job. It's nice to be at least somewhat confident!

I felt the difference in difficulty between FAR & REG exams with AUD & BEC was miles and miles apart. When I walked out of AUD I felt like it was a joke someone was playing on me because it seemed so easy. No idea how I got only an 80 but I didn't care. BEC was my lowest score but I put in like half the effort.

We had the same exam. I know exactly what you are talking about.
