It took me 4 attempts to pass AUD. What finally got me over the hump was Becker’s Final Review. Now this isn’t a knock on any Ninja material whatsoever because Ninja helped me pass the other 3 sections tremendously, it was just a little more difficult to study for with AUD (this is just me).
AUD attempt 1: Wiley book with Ninja Notes and Ninja MCQ – 72
AUD attempt 2: Becker self-study (tried this during busy season, big mistake) – 65
AUD attempt 3: Ninja Book, Ninja MCQ again, Ninja Notes, and Ninja Audio – 73
AUD attempt 4: Becker self-study again, Becker MCQ, Becker Final Review and Ninja Audio (to and from work) – 91
On my fourth study attempt I would review the Becker sections in the book and make notes on my weak areas and pass keys. I skimmed the chapters and did not read word for word. I would then complete all MCQ’s and simulations. After I made sure I scored 100% in all MCQ sections I reviewed the simulations again.
With 2 weeks left two study I felt I needed more of a push and that I wasn’t quite ready. By this time I already memorized all of the Ninja MCQ questions so I don’t think it would have been helpful to purchase again. So I decided to purchase Becker’s Final Review.
The Final Review is a condensed version of the Becker book, but more detailed than the Ninja Notes. The lectures are much shorter and more tolerable than the self-study lectures.
After the AUD Final Review everything clicked… just like that. I felt super confident going into the exam and knew a LOT of the MCQ questions that came up during the exam. Walking out I actually felt like I passed, but didn’t want to jinx anything. However, I did take it 4 times so that should have given me an extra push to begin with.
Again, please note this is not a knock at Ninja material, AUD was just the only section where Ninja couldn’t get me over the edge. I loved Ninja for all of the other sections.
I hope anyone struggling with AUD like I did finally finds the right method to study and pass. It was by far the hardest section for me.
