I keep reading in posts that people are using the AL for audit sims – are you guys talking about the research only, or are you saying the regular simulations have relevant AL stuff?
FAR 7/25/15 76!
AUD 10/30/15 93
BEC 2/27/16 82
REG 5/23/16 88!
Ninja Book and MCQ and the forum - all the way!!!
and a little thing i like to call, time and effort!
if you want things to change, you have to do something different
I just took AUD today, don't expect to rely on AL.
AL didn't help me at all except the research. Finished the first 3 teslets and I have 1 hour and 30 mins left on my clock, hoping I can use some time in researching answers in AL but it didn't happen. Hopefully to have a passing rate on December 9.
panda – i don't think there are JE's in the standards. here are links to sites where you can review:
This gets posted about once a week for far and audit and they are helpful:
from Mjganier:
These links are a great list of Journal Entries. May not be every single one but, they cover most of those encountered.

Thank you so much for the info Monikernc. I took my exam on Monday now I just have to wait. Hopefully, i never have to use the AL at least on the exam.
Yes, I guarantee you will be able to get at least 4 out of the 7 sims 100% correct from AL word for word given that you have allocated enough time for the sims.
there are no journal entries in the sims, there are no ratios, there are no substantive test examples for testing relevant assertions. these are 3 sims you could not use the AL for.
all the independence/professional standard/ fill in the blank opinion/report SIMS you COULD use the AL for. including the research one.
so yea about 4/7 or 3/7 depending on your luck of the draw can be found in the AL.
I had JE's for my audit exam but whatever. Pretty much every exam that had sims I found the answer in the AL.. My suggestion is to take an hour or two with your software (I used becker) and try to find the answer for the question in the AL. If you don't wanna do that at least be familiar on how to search it effectively
Passed all sections between 5/15 - 10/15 order AUD REG BEC FAR (used Becker only)

Last Chance CPA, when you say you have to do the correct lookup, what exactly do you mean? I haven't started studying yet, but will the correct lookup be obvious when I start studying and practice using the the AL?
