That isn't true. If you miss anything, it will come up with Xes and show you the solution. But when you hit done, the next screen will show you your percentage, providing you didn't change any of your original answers.

BEC- 86
AUD- 96
REG- 83
FAR- soon hopefully

I am using the Becker 2011 AUD study review. Has anyone used this and felt that is was not adequate for passing the exam? I spoke with a Becker rep who said as long as I went to the Becker knowledge base and updated my material with the corrections/changes then I should be fully prepared for the exam.

Does anyone have any thoughts or comments?

Hey guys.

I am taking Audit on August 3rd and Business in August 31st and was wondering if someone could share their advice. The threads were long so I am not sure if someone asked this before. I am using Becker to study the material and have been scoring all the way from 76%-100% on some sections (but total average more toward low 80's). Is this normal or should I redesign the way I study? I just got very discouraged now after I finished the A4 homework and I can say that I had a lot of difficulty answering Internal Control questions on the homework (but managed 79%). Are those scores too low?

Thanks a lot! And good luck to everyone!

Hi, how do you approach the research sims? It seems more involved than FAR was… Thanks!

Just took AUD today…surprise, surprise, it was worse than I could have imagined!!! I swear the testlets kept getting harder and harder?!

BEC DONE

Justincbro,

Good for you. It showed you did well (all things being equal). When a test keeps getting harder, it shows your performance is above average.

@Moonwatcher229 – I think you are doing just fine. A4 was a bear and most people sort of bomb that homework the first time. 79% is great! And you have plenty of time for practice. Good luck!

FAR - 92 (4/27/12)

I have taken the two Final Review tests (Becker) and scored 75% on both the tests…this is so freakin hard…. i will be appearing for this test the 4th time tomorrow and i feel like its so redundant and yet i could not score over 75…this is ridiculous…i am freakin out !!!

[stokey45]

@cpa2bsoon,

I hear you. I too will be taking the AUD exam for the 4th time on the 21st. My scores were 65/74/72. This time around I followed the plan that is laid out on this website and I feel more prepared than I have ever been. I have not taken the two final review tests yet but I know that I did them before, I scored lower on those tests then the actual AUD exam.

My suggestion for you and for myself is to look at what you did wrong and try to understand the correct answer. Tomorrow is a big day and try to relax and get plenty of rest tonight. Remember you only need a 75 to pass and that is what you scored on the practice exams.

Good Luck

@stokey45,

Thanks a ton for your response …I was almost on the verge of breaking down….I feel better now …i still have a day and can still make this happen…You are right we just need a 75…that's all !!! Good luck to you too !!!

@cpa2bsoon:

A 75% average on the Becker exams is really good! I'm sure you will do fine tomorrow.

BEC - 84
AUD - 83
FAR - 82

@MIA2CPA,

Thank you for the word of confidence, I took a progress test and scored 92%… makes me feel better 🙂 Since then I have just been reviewing the material and my notes…Goodluck on your results !!!

Okay Guys,

I have one week before my AUD exam. I have reviewed by notes on the questions I got wrong when doing the MCQ. I have taken little quizzes on each section in the Becker review material. I joined cpaexamforfree for additional questions. I have done all of the simulations in the Becker Review and printed out the ones I needed help on and now I am going to review them. I am also listening to the Ninja Audio. Tomorrow my plan is to take a progress test in Becker and see how I am doing.

On the cpaexamforfree website my first test I took I did not do as well as I had hoped. I got a 72. It is easy to start to get down about all of this.

I am going back to studying but if anyone has any suggestions or ideas on how they best wrapped it up the last week before the exam, I would appreciate hearing it.

Ok, so I took the test 2 days ago, the MC weren't bad… I have a habit of marking the ones that I have even a slight doubt about, so that I can review those before moving on. I had to put some thought into some of the questions while some were quiet easy but they were all doable. Then along came the F'in SIMs….OMG !!!! I am so glad that I left about 1hr 45mins for the SIMs, I had 2 research tabs (that I nailed) and the rest of the tabs were terrible…I had to use the authoritative literature for one tab, then there was another tab where I felt like they had given only half the info (could not even understand what answer were they looking for)and the rest three tabs were difficult but doable (aleast I was able to understand what they were asking)…when I came out of FAR, I somehow had a good feeling…but with AUD…I don't know how to feel about it…I just hope it was enough to get a 75…don't want to take this one AGAIN !!!! Oh God, please help !!!!!!

Good luck everyone !!!!

[momto5]

So I keep hearing that the exam SIMS are not at all similar to Becker. Therefore, would it make any sense to go over the Becker SIMS a second time prior to the exam, or would it make better use of my time to focus on reviewing more MCQ's and the NINJA notes (as well as doing the practice exams)? This is my last weekend to cram and I'm not sure I can fit it all in!

FAR - 92 (4/27/12)
