Nnenna – I am not sure if you are asking serious questions for advice, if you are trying to be sarcastic (e), or if you are giving advice.

nnena. You seem to know exactly what you are doing already since you've got advice on how to effective complete an exam. I'm sure youve already taken at least one section and will be fine.

Short and sweet: keep doing the mcq's. I agree with Mylife though, not sure of the tone of your post. In any case, I don't think this exam in particular is one that is commonly not completed in its entirety. This exam out of all four, IMO, and I would go so far as to say for most people, has the most generous amount of time. Granted there may be people who finish the exam, but not knowing how to interpret/answer the sims, leaving with plenty of time to spare. But I haven't seen anybody post that they couldn't finish Audit.

Hope that helps. Best of luck.

what is cod mw3?? besides b/w this weekend and monday u can still catch up by doing tons of mcs….4 days can do the trick for some students u know…..what material r u using? hang in there

[nnenna]

this is my last section and im very nervous and embarrased bcos i cant seem to pass aud after passing the others 1st time around in very short time frame…and saved it for the last thinking it was the easiest and now have used up all my windows for it..way too emabarrasing for me and my family talk less of all the money spent…

mw3 is a video game.

yeah im going to try to focus.. theres this weekend and next weekend's a 4 day weekend so im going to drop off my router and ps3 to a friend today.

i'm using yaeger/wiley and a becker pdf for mcqs. here's the thing… evidence and reporting (2 biggest sections) are kicking my butt.. I can't retain the information. I'm too retarded for this (serious).

thats what i thot but if u listen carefully to yaeger lectures u will learn it especailly evidence………….reporting is tricky but gets easier……………..just keep at it!!!! u may squeeze thru……………….

I wouldn't fixate on how much time some people have left at the end of AUD. The first time I took it (massive fail) I left with over an hour left. I had very good reason to leave with that much time remaining, nothing to do with tummy aches or headaches or even frustration with the exam.

Second time I took it (failed by 4 pts) I used all the time available to me.

Third time I took it, (had a score of 84) I had an hour and 20 minutes left when I walked out. I answered each and every question without missing a single one. I even took a break between testlet 2 and 3 to get some water and clear my head.

My point is what works for one person on this doesnt work for another. I would never be so bold to assume much less state that some people couldn't complete their exams effectively.

@nnenna, I agree with @Yankee and @Mylife. What are you trying to convey with this post? No offense, but maybe if you wrote a little more formal or without so many abbreviations, it would be easier to understand you. Since you seem to be giving advice on AUD… I am sure you will do great. Good luck!!

[mla1169]

I bought Jeff's ninja notes and followed his suggestions of writing and rewriting my notes. The weekend before my exam, I did over 1100 MCQ's. No easy feat when you work F/T, go to school half time and have 2 kids but I pushed. Well worth the sacrifice!

Work those MCQs.
