    i am not sure how different the real exam will be from the final exam of Becker? does anybody use Becker? about the multiple choice questions , i practiced on Becker, for the first time , it is usually about 65 percentage, now it is about 85 percentage after i did for several times.

    i am very nervous now when i know i only got 70 in the final exam . i prepared this for nearly 2 months. and i thought i am very comfortable for the materials. but now it turns out only 70 .

    any advice ? thank you .

    Took AUD yesterday. Felt pretty good about the MCs, felt like it got harder in testlet 2 so that was a good sign. Seemed to get easier again in testlet 3, meh.

    SIMs were challenging but as this is audit, they were nowhere near as brutal as the ones I encountered for FAR and REG (I'll be honest, I barely touched sims in prepping for those two). Research was easy and I saw where they tried to trick you there. As for the rest, there was one problem which was not covered by Becker prep material for which I went off using logic, but then I figured I should probably check with the authoritative literature. BOY am I glad I did because had I kept my original answers they would have all been wrong.

    I pretty much used the literature to guide me through finishing that one, and I'm 99% certain I aced that testlet, so I'm really hoping that isn't the question they throw out because there were 1 or 2 other problems in the sims that I wasn't as confident about (and I found you couldn't really use the literature to bail you out of the rest).

    Hope I pass, but if I don't I know what areas I will need to focus on next time as I felt like I could have spent more time doing a more indepth review. Good luck to the rest of you, I'm now going to have to decide which of FAR or REG I want to re-take. This sucks.

    Starting fresh in 2010 w/Becker!
    BEC: 74,80 (expired), 78 - FAR: 64, 60, 74, 68, 76 - REG: 70,60,75 - AUD: 74,78
    Can't change the past but I CAN make the future.
    DONE - 6/8/13. After 6 LONG YEARS.

    Hi,IL candidates,

    how do you prepare for the simulations? what materials do you use? i realized that simulations are mostly about application of the content in each chapter. it is not just memorization.

    hope you can pass auditing .good luck/

    Hi, I am taking Becker for AUD and planning on taking the exam end of august or beginning of september. Has anyone else used Becker before? Are there any other books I should study beside what Becker has provided? If anyone has taken this exam for 2011 already, please give me advice how i should prepare myself for it. Are there certain areas I should focus on…any suggestions/advice for me so I can pass it first time would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    BEC – 79 (April 2011)

    REG – 68 (Retake in August)

    FAR – Scheduled for August

    AUD – Took today

    Just took the AUD exam. Feel real good about it like I did after BEC. Didn't feel good after REG. So I am optimistic that I passed.

    Studying GLEIM now for FAR. Will study weak parts for REG

    I just took Audit today. It was my first exam and I had never been to the testing site before so I relied on the trusty gps to get me there. I am so glad I gave myself an extra hour to get there because I ended up in some run down neighborhood, about 20 minutes away from where I needed to be! Same street name, wrong place.

    During the exam I could hardly stop from smiling through the first 45 MCs because I was sure that I knew the answers to everything. It was a great feeling. The last 45 MCs though I was not so confident about and the SIMS I just have no clue how I did.

    While I was taking the exam I got a call from a CPA firm about a job that I just applied for. What a crazy afternoon!

    AUD 74, 83
    FAR 75
    REG 71, 71, 70, 86!!!!!! 🙂

    I hope it did. I guess I will find out in September. Used your Ninja notes and also followed your suggestion about rewriting the notes. Those were both good ideas. Tomorrow I have to get started with FAR. I take that at the end of August. Ugh.

    I didn't do well (55%) (61% on MCQs and 44% on sims, I'm using Wiley) yikes!!! It could be that I've been distracted here and there. Going to try another one. More and more MCQs until they are coming out of my ears!!!!
