So I just took the Audit exam today (4/11/2016). I studied about 30 hours for the exam. I know I am very lazy. I did not study at all until last Saturday. I ended up just finishing reading the Becker book and completing a set of MCQ (60 questions) and 4 set of simulations. I know!!!! I was super frustrated and anxious because I thought I could have gone through at least half of all the Becker practice questions.

I just hate my laziness and over-confidence. I always overestimate my capability. (Someone should audit me!!!!! Please issue an audit report of me!!!!)

So my exam experience:

I could not tell the difficulty level of each set of questions. I felt like that they were very similar in terms of the difficulty level and contents tested. I felt like I was 70% sure on all the questions overall. For the questions I have doubts on, I could always eliminate 2 answers. But it’s still very tough choice. I am a little worried about my multiple questions because I did not do practice questions at all.

However, I felt the same thing about the BEC exam. I couldn’t tell the difficulty difference at all. They were all similar to me. And I passed the BEC with a score of 93 under a day’s preparation.

I feel good about my simulation questions. I had two research questions. I could easily identify the answer. Other questions I am 90% sure.

So do you guys think I can pass? I am torn. I felt like I did well on the exam but was not so confident about my performance at the same time. I just wish I had studied for one more day so I could be 100% sure at this time.

Keep my fingers crossed. Hope to pass FAR within a week!!!!!! and another week for Reg!!!!! I know I am overestimating my capability and underestimating my laziness. I just want to get them off my plate.

Also please excuse my English. Also I love Brandon Flowers. Please share your thoughts.

royalhat402, where are you from if you don't mind me asking? You never thought about majoring is something more challenging than Accounting and Business?

With that God's given talent you should pursue a medical degree and save many lives! 🙂 I do have a family friend who is a CPA turned doctor. Be more crazy if you also hold a JD. Are you even human??

BEC- PASS

@ Martin, I am from China. I guess I always like to deal with number and such. I love math when I was young. I still remember how my elementary teacher was amazed by my ability to solve complex math problems. When I applied to college, my family wanted me to do something practical so I chose Finance. I still somewhat regret that I did not have a profound study in math in college. Now I just feel like I am dumb. I can never pursue a medical degree since I am afraid of all body parts/organs and such. However, I am super into Nutrition study. I have a tons of book about nutrition.

Spartans92, If I had his talent, I would have gone to medical school, which is the toughest career in the US. I have a friend who graduated from a tier 1 university with a 3.7, and took the Mcats I don't know how many times and couldn't get a passing score. Then he decided to go to law school, so he studied for the entrance exam for 1 month and passed.

royalhat402, Im glad you live in the US now, we need people like you. I know Trump does not like foreigners, but if I were president, I would make it a priority to import brains from all over the world. This is how we always keep a competitive edge.

@royal, I should have guessed you were Chinese. Not trying to stereotype but Chinese are so DARN Smart at least most I know. Their upbringings and hardworking culture is what I admire. Of course this doesn't hold true for all but a very generic statement.

BEC- PASS

Hey guys, I passed audit with a score of 80. I am content with the score since I did not put much efforts into it. I'll see how I did on my FAR exam soon.
