What’s up guys? I’m taking AUD on March 10th. Any last minute tips or suggestions? This is my second time taking it. Scored 72 on my Nov 2017 attempt despite being confident going into the exam.

Don't get caught up on the unmodified/unqualified.
They might be used interchangeably for either PCAOB or non-issuer.

Interesting. Thanks for pointing that out.

Take the sims on the aicpa website. It’s literally had questions from there on the real exam

I literally just completed the AICPA practice exam. Found a couple of sims very challenging.

Good luck! I don't know what study material you're using, but I'd definitely do a handful of progress tests/practice tests of MCQs, flip through note cards, etc. On the day/night before, just some light review, cut yourself off early, take a walk/jog and go to bed early. Rest that brain so it can perform Saturday! You came close on your last attempt, so I think you'll get it this time!

I think you should do random questions then

Just received my AUD yesterday with low 80s, it was my 1st try and I prepared about 3 weeks.

I think it’s important to memorize something you find hard to memorize in the very last minutes. For me, I reviewed the whole audit process for AP/Revenue/Inventory/Transactions, difference between issuers and nonissue regarding Emphasis-matter paragraph and other-matter, AICPA standards regarding independence and threat/safeguards methods.

Good luck!

Thanks for the input guys! I'll be doing some progress tests, reviewing weak areas and redoing AICPA sample sims until Saturday and hope for the best.
