I've heard about 80 hours for Audit-so whether you can do 4 weeks at 20/hrs or more hours in a week-thats up to your schedule. Good luck!

me too AUD NY! I always have been such a good student and been able to overcome challenges. But this one….is setting me up for failure

[south0085]

AUD will be my first section to study for. I will take the exam in February. I am doing the live classes, but I have already started studying. Everybody on here keeps saying they study the Multiple Choice questions, and then they study the supplemental questions. What's the difference? How do I find the supplemental questions?

[zena]

south0085, when people mention the supplemental questions they talk about the Becker materials. Becker has a certain number of questions associated with each section of the material that they consider essential to be worked on. On top of that, they provide extra, supplemental questions for each section that a candidate may choose to work on or not. What study materials are you using?

FAR 86 | BEC 94 | AUD 90 | REG 85
All done! used Becker

[south0085]

Thank you. I am using Becker. I've only looked at the cd-rom one time. As I'm going along with the lecture there are questions. Also, their are additional questions for each little sub-section. For example, their might be 8 questions for this sub-section and then 88 for another one. When I finish these, it says 100% of the questions for this have been completed. Are these the supplemental questions that you are talking about or are their even more questions hidden somewhere else??

[zena]

Yep, those are the ones. I try to get the supplemental questions done too but if I'm short on time, or comfortable with that section, then I skip them. Typically they don't count the supplemental questions in the 100% figure. Sometimes, I noticed, the supplemental questions have funny MCQs, meaning MCQs with more or less than the typical 4 choices, all going from the same set of facts. My guess is that these are former simulations broken down and re-fitted to a MCQ format.

Does anyone practice the written communication while doing practice simulations? I do the simulations but I just never feel motivated enough to practice the writing.

REG-95, FAR-91, BEC-85, AUD-2/24/10

I've done Becker for FAR and AUD and not once had the motivation to write a memo for it. I usually clicked the answer button immediately just to get an idea of what they are looking for in regards to content and length.

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

[south0085]

Thank you zena. I hope to go thru each multiple choice question 2 times. If possible.

Just took my exam today-not horrible but not a piece of cake by any ways. My 2nd testlet was nasty-felt like “just get me outta this testlet!”

I'm definetely ready for the week of Feb 15th to see my score!

[3chris]

Got out of Audit an hour ago. It took me 2 1/2 hours to take it. The first testlet took 10 minutes to make it through; the questions seemed really easy. The 2nd and 3rd were harder; about 25 minutes each for those. Spent 1 1/2 hours on the sims; looked up a lot just to be sure. Some tabs in the sims were tricky; not sure how I did on those.

Hopefully I passed; will be taking regulation in April as *hopefully* my last test.

[rahulcpa]

Just took Auditing today and here is my opinion

1st testlet very very easy

2nd testlet medium difficult

3rd testlet very very hard

Simulation not crazy like Regulation exam

written communication, I guess i will make it through as it was all discussed in becker

simulations were unrelated tab, a little tricky but again if you practiced becker simulations, you will get a pretty good handle of it. Overall, the first time felt very confident came out of the test. The material was relatively easy than BEC and REG

BEC - 82 Reg-87 Aud - 86 Far - 81 (THANX THE LORD)

Can anybody suggest from where Can I practice the Audit Multiple Choice questions. My Becker software has expired. I have becker book to prepare. Is wiley a good option. I have searched the wiley web, but it shows that 2010 edition has not yet come and 2009 edition of spftwear is out of stock. Kindly suggest the available options.

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

[jeff]

Here is a good option…Wiley gets their questions from the same place the other big review companies do: the AICPA
