Hey everyone, I’m taking Audit 4-16. I was originally taking it 4-2 but felt extremely overwhelmed with the material that I had to push it back and revise my study plan. I find it very useful to watch the lecture, than type/write flash cards and review them, than test yourself with the MCQ’s. I use studyblue.com to type my flashcards (Free and has a great mobile app to take them anywhere!).

I'm using the full Becker material (Lectures/MCQS/Flashcards[waste of $]/final review[worth the $]) and Wiley test bank to supplement my studies (worth the $). Every day at lunch I run through a progress test on Becker than after work I spend 4-5 hours a day either watching a lecture, typing/reviewing flashcards, or doing MCQ. I'm on the last chapter of Becker this week (6), than will have two full weeks of final review.

Audit all of a sudden clicked for me and I feel very confident with the material. I would say if you are starting off try to see the big picture first. For example the audit process from start to finish (Engagement acceptance, planning (RMM/Fraud risk), substantive tests, opinion). Than iron out the details by going through the chapters again and working the MCQ.

I would say everyone is right in saying do MCQ, than MCQ, and finally MCQ. It really helped me piece everything together. I hope this helps those who feel overwhelmed in the beginning, I know I was!!!!

BEC - 2/13 - 87
Audit - 4-16 - 99
Reg - 5-29 - 94
Far- 8-13 - 97

I use becker self-study, final review, flash cards, wiley test bank, and I make my own flash cards using studyblue.com

I am taking the audit test April 16th too. I am feeling like this time will be a pass. I have gotten two 71s. I am so tired of studying audit material over and over and over again so hopefully this will be my last time. Third time is a charm. I am using Becker. Good luck to everyone.

REG - 84
BEC - 79
FAR - 79
AUD - 71,71,95
Ethics 100
I am Done!!!!

I'm taking BEC on April 24th and am considering immediately starting to study for AUD and take it at the end of May. Is studying 40 hours a week for 5 weeks enough for AUD? I figure I'd finish the lectures in 4 weeks and give myself one week for review. I took 8 weeks for BEC and I just want to take the test now. I feel like I'm just questioning myself on every little thing and I either know or I don't by this point. Any advice? Thanks 🙂

BEC: (4/2012) 88
AUD: (5/2012) 91
REG: (8/2012) 82
FAR: (1/2013) 78 🙂
