Took AUD yesterday and after reading a lot of the prior posts—I am freaking out. I know this is a scary feeling, but the MC questions didn't really seem to progressively get more difficult from testlet to testlet. I'm not certain if this is because I knew the material that well or if I was doing crappy on the MC questions. I read each question entirely and analyzed each answer before making a selection because I know that the testers can really screw with you by how they phrase a question. After answering each question in a testlet, I would go back to the beginning and re read each question and make sure that I didn't misread something. I got to the 90th question and (as I mentioned earlier) started panicking because questions 61-90 seemed fairly easy since I still had almost 2.5 hours left on the exam clock.

The sims were very difficult but having so much time, you can use the Auth Lit Research Tab to pretty much research every problem and at least feel more comfortable when clicking in your answers. Oh well, the score release is set for sometime around March 8, 2012–so we'll all wait and see. I have nightmares where the number 74 keeps flashing in my head. Seriously haunts my dreams.

No, I don't take any medicine for my cat allergy. I just deal with it because it's mild (runny nose, etc.). I tried to volunteer at Happy Tails in Sacramento, CA and I left there feeling like my throat was as big as my head! I couldn't breathe either! LOL Oh well, now I just donate money to animal charities.

Good luck to everyone who is taking AUD soon!

FAR: 80

AUD: ??

Thanks catlover! I'm officially done doing MCQs until the actual exam. Tomorrow is a day of reading. (I've learned my lesson doing MCQ the day before an exam)

OT but I'm allergic to cats too, among other weird food/environmental allergies… But I have some diesel medication I'm on so my allergies don't bother/kill me!

I just took audit today. I found the MCQ's very difficult, especially in the first testlet, but the simulations weren't bad. Also, I finished the exam in two hours.

I thought I was very well prepared, but some of those questions came out of left field for me. I did every question in the Wiley book at least twice and many hundreds from the test bank.

I have no idea if I passed!!!

Have you all felt this way after an exam?

I passed Audit 2nd time around w/ 75.

First time, I found the test to be very easy and simple…I thought for sure, I had passed or at least get 80+, but ended up with a 73. Second time, I found the exam to be very challenging, same goes for the SIMS. However, I passed…not with a shinning score, but it's still a pass!!

Good Luck, I hope same for you!!

@Hustlin-I finished everything but IT. Everytime I start it I get bored and put it off. I'll tackle it this weekend. I'm going through MCQ's right now.

Studying has given me a splitting migraine and my neck and back ache so I'm not being very productive this evening…hence the reason I'm typing on this forum as my book is falling out of my lap. Hahaha! It's going to be a lonngggg weekend.

Sorry to hear about your FAR exam too. Get em next time for sure!!

@Charliecharlie-And the wait begins! Sounds like you had a good experience! Difficult is a good sign! I see a passing score!

Im finishing up A4 tonight and then onto A5…testing on 2/29..yikes…put this off so much im starting to panic 🙁

@Debit This- I just got back from taking audit and had the same experience as you. I really didn't feel like the MCQ's were bad at all…I got to the SIMS with 2hr 15 minutes to go. In my opinion, the SIMS were pretty rough. I ended up using the entire 2 hours 15 minutes to finish the SIMS. I knew the concepts but it was really difficult for me to understand what they were asking for if that makes any sense.

@Peanut- Good luck tomorrow!!!

REG - 8/26/11 76
BEC - 10/21/11 66,80
Audit- 2/24/12 87
FAR- 12/7/12

Took Audit today about a month after finishing FAR. I felt like I was fairly well prepared and the multiple choice weren't all that bad. I felt like the first section was pretty easy, got a bit tougher in the second and then the third was a lot of very specialized and detailed info, but not terrible. The Sims on the other hand were just really strange… Fairly certain I got the research tab right, but everything else just didn't seem to be very clear. From what I've read everyone else seems to be in the same boat. Did anyone feel like they were confident with their Sims?
