    Hi everyone, I’ll be graduating on the 18th of May and moving home directly afterward for a few months before I start working. I was wondering if ~10 days of nonstop (10 hours a day) studying would be sufficient for AUD? I’m taking BEC next week and would really like to get AUD out of the way in the second testing window also.

    The problem is I don’t start work till October 1, but the exam isn’t offered in June or September when I’ll be home doing only studying. I think it’d be much more manageable to have only REG and FAR in the July/Aug window, without adding AUD on top of that. Does anyone think this can be done? It’s been 3 semesters since I took my audit class.

    Thanks for any advice you may have!!

    “can” it be done? Sure. I'm positive that its possible.

    Is it a wise idea? I'm going to say no. You're not very likely to get 10 hours of quality, effective studying done per day every day for 10 days straight. Your brain is going to shut down hard after about hour 3, IMHO.

    I know many people think this is impossible (or at least exceptionally difficult) to do while working a f/t job. Its really not.

    FAR- 77
    AUD -49, 71, 84
    REG -56,75!
    BEC -75

    I agree with mla, it's possible but the chances of passing with this study plan are slim. If you can afford it and want to, give it a try worst case you fail and need to retake.

    Good luck!

    A - 61, 91!!
    B - 78!
    F - 76!!!
    R - 71, 73, 74, 69, 77!!!!

    Finally done!

    This is my 2nd attempt at the exam, I had two parts passed (failed many) and I stupidly quit, big mistake. Now I'm back and with a vengeance!

    Give yourself the best chance to pass. If you don't have them already, get the ninja combo. So while you are intensely studying theory, the test bank and notes will help keep it all together and fresh.

    It begins with a 75
    Been here too long as a cheerleader....ready to pass

    i think u can do it easily, especially if you're not working yet, your young and just out of college. you're still used to studying long hours. use that to your advantage,

    just take frequent breaks, and most importantly, naps in between study sessions when you need it will help insure that you remember the stuff you study. it help consolidate long term memory so the new material stays in your mind.

    one time when studying for the mcat i went 8-12, 2-7, 9-10, everyday for two weeks. GL

    Some people are really good test takers and can do this. I certainly couldn't and wouldn't recommend it. It sounds like a nightmare to me!
