Hi All,

What is your best study strategy for retaking audit. I got a 68 first time around. The most common method I’ve seen in MCQ’s until you drop. I understand that, but should I spend time reviewing the book at all? Watching lectures at all? What do you guys think?

FAR - 75
AUD - 78
BEC - 82
REG - 77

2 Corinthians 5:21

Our value does not come from our skills and abilities, as good as they may be; it does not come from our GPA, our job, a promotion from that job to a better job, our success on the CPA exam, or anything of the like; but our value comes from the fact that we have a Creator who loves us, cares for us, and desires to help us navigate the rough waters of this life in a way that provides security, hope, and true, everlasting joy while we anticipate the life to come, with Him.

When my score was in the 60s I realized that I did not truly understand the material. I started from the beginning as if I had never studying for audit. Even after getting a 73 I am studying the same now for my retake in July. As a lot of people have mentioned in some past posts, I do not need 2 points but instead 75 points.

I am so ready for this nightmare to be over. Been at this way too long.

Ninja mcq and doing many SIMs. I got stronger on mcq and weaker on sims last time. Also I'm reading the ninja notes every chance I get.

Also since a lot of this is in my long term memory. I try to learn something new that I didn't know before.

I always start over and treat it like a new test. Even if I feel like I have a great grasp on the content after my fail, I always end up realizing that I really didn't have a great grasp before.

Jeff's really hits the nail on the head when he discusses what different exam scores mean (see his survival guide: https://www.another71.com/cpa-exam-survival-guide/ ).
