    Wow- thanks so much- your explanation is excellent. As I'm re-working the multis in Wiley Module 2 I'm getting more questions on this topic and they are referring to sample sizes, etc. It is starting to make sense. No wonder I didn't pass the exam in August!

    Thanks again for taking the time to respond!

    Question. I did weaker on the Evaluation and Reporting section of AUD. I translate that to becker chapters 1 and 2, but when I take becker sample tests i do well on those and worse on the last two chapters. anybody else have this issue? It seems prettty clear what Evaluation and Reporting is.

    I felt like most of the AUD multiple choice questions were nothing like I worked in the Becker passmaster. The simulations were pretty much a gimme except for one, which I was hoping they would throw out of the grading. Be that as it may, it's time to hit the books again for a second go round on AUD in Oct/Nov testing window. At least I have 4 more windows to pass this one exam before losing credits. I feel like reading the book will do me more good than re-watching the videos again with Tim. If anyone has any other suggestions for me, please send them my way. I'd like to be done this year with everything. Good luck to all!!!!!!

    I am experiencing the same thing- when I go through the MCQ I am doing fine. I am re-reading the text and I'm downloading the professional standards from the AICPA site (Like AU 317, etc.) and I'm reading those, too. I'm going to watch the videos again. I think that Audit seems like it wouldn't be tough, but it is very tricky. I'm using Wiley and Yaeger Review. I'll re-test in November and I want to be sure that I pass.

    @striving. I found that when I read My mind tends to wonder, unless I read out loud. Which I can't do at the library or sometimes at home. So i'v resorted back to the video's. When I follow Tim withou a highlighter and a pen I get things better. I keep the PDF open or the book and follow/read along. Only for areas I'm struggling with. Got thru with A1 without a problem.

    Reading was actually taking longer for me.

    @jpg. Great explanation.

    I finished A2 today. Now at A3.2 doing Passmaster. I actually like highlighting. I am actually taking notes from Passmaster than book. Has anyone tried this method before. My thumb really hurts.
