mgoloubenkoMemberThank you so much!!! I totally will admit that I happy cried. For anyone that wants advice on how I did it, my best advice for you is after a re-take to be honest with yourself about your weaknesses. I was stronger in MCQS and weaker in SIMs which is always intimidating since SIMs can be the most difficult to prepare for.
I knew exactly where I had to have messed up (although this required retrospective examination considering I thought I really did ok my first time through) and I hit those areas hard with the NINJA notes/audio as well as Wiley SIMs + CPAReviewforfreesims! I solidified my knowledge to make sure I didn't go down in the MCQs while really working hard on areas that I had struggled with from the SIMs. This time I also used my full 4 hours because I was not willing to leave any points on the table.
Couldn't have done it without you, 1 more exam to go guys!! Happy studying everyone and congratulations to all those who passed, and keep on going for those who are planning to re-take!!! It can and will be done!!

mgoloubenkoMemberShay,
It's hard for me to give you tailored advice because I don't know how far your score was off point but you really have to try to think back on the exam and think about where you had gone wrong. For me, it was a particular topic on the SIMs that I had originally thought I had a great understanding of- but when I got that 71, I realized that I must have really messed up on it. Becker didn't have the type of specific examples that I was looking for so I used SIMs from Wiley, as well as the SIMs from CPAreviewforfree.com ( only $10) which I reaaaally recommend. They really helped me solidify and correct the wrong train of thought that I had used on the first exam. While working on the SIMs, I diligently went over each Becker chapter- re-doing all the MCQs again and again while using NINJA notes + audio. The thing with re-takes is that you don't want to just focus on weak points because your score will go down in other areas- it must be an overall effort to improve in as much of the material as you can. Hope that is helpful.

ShayMember@mgoloubenko… I hated AUD at the first place. just plain reading does do it for me.
I wish I could think of topics I was weak on exam, but the issue is those topics were not covered at all in becker. I will post of results from the report thats show which part I was weak and strong.
I will definitely start from scratch for AUD. I am signed up to take FAR 12/3. I am on F5. getting 40-50% of HW.
