I failed AUD for the 2nd time with a 74. Now i’m confused if I should retake AUD again in OCT or study for REG and take the exam for both AUD and REG in november. Please guys I really need your advice. Share your experience if anybody has taken both the exams together and managed it. Currently I have a full time job so I can dedicate 2-3 hours for study per day.

I would study for and take one and then study for and take the other. If you took one early to mid October, and then one end of November, you'd have 6-7 weeks for each exam. Have you started studying for REG yet? If not, maybe do AUD first. You gained 11 points on your last re-take, which is actually pretty impressive! I know you wanted to gain 12+, but I am sure that with another retake, you'll get the points you need! Just remember, study it as if you'd never seen the material before. Don't just “brush up”, study start-to-finish, as best you can!

If you've already started studying for REG, then I'd go ahead and finish out with that one first. And instead of doing it start of October, maybe push it more till mid-October so that it has a couple more weeks, since it's all new material.

I wouldn't, though, try to study for both at once, unless you're only able to go to the test center one day. I know that there are some people who study for – and proceed to pass – all 4 sections at once, because they live overseas and have to fly here to take tests. So, it can be done. But for those of us that have the convenience of just taking a short drive (even if that “short” drive is 2+ hours for some people), it's much easier to study for and take one at a time, even if you do 2 or more in a testing window.

@Zubairs I feel your pain because I am going through the same. I failed audit second time with 72 🙁

I am preparing right now BEC so I am planning to give BEC in early october then prepare for AUD in November.I would say focus on one subject fully so that you can give 100% to that exam.I know its difficult to not to think abt the failed exam.But have to.

I was so upset past two days and it hurts really more when you miss by some few points. I want to pass this exam but its giving me a tough time. I hope I can study hard and pass this exam really.

You will make it.So plan according to your schedule and then work on the plan.

FAR- 79 -->Becker self study, Final review & Flashcards
REG -72-->Becker ,76-->Becker plus Wiley test bank
AUD- 73 Becker,72-->Becker+Wiley,69-->Added ninja notes,89 --> Added Gleim review
BEC- 84 Becker plus Wiley Test bank

I am Done !!!!

thanks a lot @lilla and @Nishvik i think i will do AUD early OCT and then take REG either end of NOV or 1st week of JAN depending upon how well i prepare. This site has been really helpful at times like these especially when you are lost and need some serious advice. JEFF is a great man for creating this forum and the NINJA material
