I wonder if this will hurt me or be ok on the real exam for AUD. I was having a hard time deciding between two choices on the mcq and I kept picking the wrong answer. Now I changed my strategy. Right away I eliminate the two choices that are wrong and when I have two left I decide which one of the two is more wrong, instead of which two is more right and I am actually doing super on the mcq since I changed my way of looking at the questions. I am wondering if the wording will be similar to the Ninja mcq on the real exam and if this is going to work for me. I feel like I am getting the concepts down, but I just have a hard time thinking one of the answers is exactly correct. Thanks for help.

I think your methodology is fine, as long as it doesn't present a problem time wise on exam day. Also that won't help you when it comes to the SIMS because you won't have 4 choices and eliminate 3.

I tried that and failed miserably. I'm not sure about you but the only thing that will help myself is know the material inside and out. Now I'm sure if I get to a question on the test that I know that stragety might work.

FAR 62, 66, 78

So for AUD… It really is just memorization. In the beginning, I used to do process of elimination like you… It didn't work for me. For me personally, when I was doing it that way it just meant that I didn't really know the topic as much as I thought I did. I decided to work with the material rather than against, and finally it came to a point where I was comfortable as soon as I saw a right answer that I didn't bother reading the remaining answers (because I knew they would be wrong). That was the only time I passed.

Whatever works for you though!!

BEC - PASS (79)
AUD - PASS (63, 71, 74, 74, 83)
REG - PASS (88)
FAR - PASS (58, 89)

If you can pick out why an answer is wrong (it's a true statement but doesn't fit the question exactly), that seems good to me, as that thought process is part of how they write the questions. I liked the hints on WTB because they pointed out things like that, that I didn't think of when reading the options. It helped me get in the test authors' minds, which helped me do better on my prep and then pass.

AUD 84 (1/9/14-Wiley books/TB + free materials)
