MC performance has no impact on your simulations. My 2 written coms were almost identical as well. Fortunately, I work in audit and was able to use experience to answer them. All I can say is that it was covered in becker and not a major topic so good luck

REG 78; BEC 84; FAR 94; AUDIT 93

I agree that multiple choice has no impact on your simulations. I was also able to use my audit experience for the written communications. The topic was definitely covered in Becker, but it was not a major topic. I believe the research tab probably would have helped, though, but I didn't need to use it.

stjohns796 – how do you feel that you did on the exam? Your scores are almost identical to mine, so it seems we have the same strengths. I was done with almost 2 hours to go – which makes me a little nervous that I didn't spend enough time. But I've been doing auditing for almost five years now, so a lot of it was familiar to me.

REG - 83(6/09); FAR - 91(8/09); BEC - 83(11/09); AUD - 1/18/10

soontobecpa – I feel I did well on the exam. I have only 2 yrs of public audit experience but it certainly helped with this section. I could 100% tell my exam got harder, particularly the first vs second mc section. The questions had more tricks/twists/steps in them. I am pretty sure I bombed a few tabs in the sims, but I believe the rest of my test should be enough to pass (hopefully). I went into the sims with 2.5-3 hrs to go but used a ton of time on my WC and tried to look up other sim tab info using the research tab. This did not work nearly as well as I was hoping, so I reccommend no one rely on using the research tab to get answers. good luck!

REG 78; BEC 84; FAR 94; AUDIT 93

SoontobeCPA AND Almost there– I found same thing as you guys-I had same simulation from previous exam. I found it little bit weird. I don't know what to think……..

AUD-NY: Maybe the AICPA decided “screw coming up with new material, this old stuff seems to be doing a pretty good job of failing people”….ha ha.

Just took the test yesterday, not sure how I feel about it. Felt pretty confident on about 2/3 of the MC, didn't really notice too much change in difficulty. Research on the sims helped for about 50% of it. I tend to take tests quickly in general, and ended up leaving about an hour early. Anyone know how detailed the written communications have to be, or have a ballpark on like a raw score on the MC for passing? I feel like I have a decent chance of passing, but being that I'm not an auditor by trade, I'm concerned that there are gonna be some ringers setting the bar high…

FAR - 11/24/09 - 78
AUD - 1/21/10 - 64
BEC - 2/26/10 - 78

Almost_there – let's hope they were old simulations. If they are new, then we won't get our scores until the second wave – and I don't know if I can wait that long!

REG - 83(6/09); FAR - 91(8/09); BEC - 83(11/09); AUD - 1/18/10

I think I got new simulation……because they were so short…. I don't know what am I going to do If I fail this time……

[Anonymous]

AUD NY, i dont know what to do if I fail this time either….I will be so screwed! I work in tax so audit has been the hardest section for me…so tricky and confusing! This was my 3rd time taking it

[Anonymous]

BlondeAccountant- This is my third time as well….I thought I did better than last two time mcqs….but simulation was so short…..and confusing…..I passed all other parts in first attempt…

[Anonymous]

Sounds like all of us are working on our third time with this beast of an exam! I can't wait for the week of Feb 18th!!!! C'mon 75!!!!!!!!!!

[Anonymous]

I never failed in my entire college life….and this audit gave me the pleasure of failure….I will not tell none of my friends if I fail it this time…because they will make negative comments…..

[Anonymous]

I too will be taking Audit for a third time. 69 in August 2009, 74 in November 09 and now I just postponed the exam from Monday Feb. 1st to Friday Feb. 5th.

I'm going to sign up for the Yaeger CRAM this Saturday (1/30) then study all day Sunday and Mon-Fri. I'm hoping the additional time will get me that additional 1 point (75.)

But reading everyone's threads is getting me nervous. It sounds like the Simulations are a curve ball during this wave.

Any advice would be welcomed……….

[Anonymous]

My simulations weren't a “curve ball” if it makes you feel any better. One of the tabs was almost exactly like a simulation tab I had when I took it in July. There is hope wannabee…….there wasn't anything in my sims that I thought “holy crap where did that come from”

[shm_cpa]

Please any one can suggest the approximate study time for preparing Audit exam. How many days it takes to prepare for the audit exam and how many no of hours per day to study?

FAR - 87 (10/01/2009); REG - 85 (10/05/2009); BEC - 88 (10/06/2009); AUD - FEB 2010
