    Re-took audit today and was disappointed I did not get any sampling or financial ratio sims. Spent SO much time on those chapters and didn't get 1 question on either. Struggled a little bit on 1 sim that required some journal entries but hopefully that sim did not count. Now just got to wait 2 months for my score…

    @PDiddy, thats great! i am sure this material feels a lot lighter in comparison to FAR. i see that you are planning on taking Reg in June, I am planning for that too.



    @julia    , i am trying to incorporate the Ninja notes as well into my studying by chapter instead of reading them towards the end. they seem to be helping. thanks. i also utilize the outlines from Becker, they are pretty good as well.



    @jsdailey    ,
    1. Must follow all of GAAS and issue report on financial statements
    2. Must issue written report on internal controls
    3. Must issue written report on compliance with laws and regulations
    4. Must issue additional reports for A-I 33 audits

    Seems like you guys are all making good progress!

    I'm going in tomorrow to take this and Idk how I'm feeling. Just want it to be over with. :/ On the bright side – NO SICK KID which means I will actually be able to get uninterrupted sleep for the first time before any test.

    @Cocoadough: The two month wait is painful… Is this your first attempt at AUD?

    Ok so the mcqs definitely were not easy and I’ve taken this exam like 23 times now. I felt like answering the multiple choice questions required deep knowledge. There were very few where I was like yup that’s it. So I likely bombed them. I also don’t understand how anyone could have cruised through these in 15 to 25 seconds each. I had to go back and read some a few times.

    The TBSs on the other hand were not that bad honestly. Guess is everyone should find them easy. I got the research right for sure this time. Typcial AUD sims nothing crazy. I finished with 20 minutes remaining which has never happened and I’m turtle slow.

    Overall I think the MCQs will decide whether I pass or fail this one.

    I'm sure you passed. You just need to play the waiting game until June 27. The general consensus is that the actual AUD MCQs should be a little bit easier, if not the same level of difficult, than the ones provided by these CPA review courses. I'm surprised to hear that you found the MCQs to be difficult.

    They were not “easier” just more in-depth than Becker average questions. I was expecting the same for them to be “easier” than review courses but I didnt walk away feeling that way. We shall find out. Fingers crossed

    @Allsheneed..i am sure you will pass! did you use NINJA test bank or only Becker's? any recommendations? I scored weaker in mcqs in February so I am a little concerned. I think I didn't do enough practice (did roughly around 500-600 questions all together). I see most people here are doing thousands of mcqs. Better safe than sorry!! I am going to apply this approach going forward. Also, last time I got my strategy mixed up. I was doing some Becker and some Ninja all the at the same time. I have learned that its wiser to do Becker first in order to learn the material and then hit Ninja.

    @cocoadough…you were so close last time. i am sure you will pass this time! historically, q2 and q3 have higher pass rates than q1 and q4 so we might get lucky, you never know. so keep your hopes high! 🙂

    6 days from test day, just took my first mock and got an 82. 73 on the multiple choice and 90 on sims, feeling like that's too close for comfort on the MCQ. Does anybody have any study recommendations for crunch time? I'm thinking just hammer MCQ and taking notes….

    Thanks!

    Is anybody else agitated about some of the lingo in AUD? Every time I see “canceled check” I automatically think “voided” and why would anybody need to see those referencing payment? then I get it wrong because a canceled check means cleared the account. UGH why couldn't they just say that the first time?

    @A-L Being that 50% of MCQs and 50% of SIMs count towards your total score, looks like you're in great shape to me. Just keep at it and don't let up. You'll be fine.
