With Audit coming up October 1st, I am getting very nervous. Since I’ve been working as opposed to when I had the summer off, my study time has taken a drastic cut.

However, I feel pretty confident in the material. Tonight I’m wrapping up my final review of A2 and got no less than an 88% on any section of the homework questions–many times I had in the high 90’s or 100. I’m starting to see BEYOND the questions in a way that I never felt like I could with FAR; when I’m working multiple choice, I can see the information that the question is drawing on in my head, if that makes any sense. This enables me to easily eliminate ridiculous answers and usually know the right one pretty quick. To put it in perspective, I started studying around 6:45 tonight and by about 8:30 had finished all of the A2 homework and supplemental questions.

Despite all of this, my nerves persist. Having now passed a part of the exam, I do NOT want to even think about the possibility of losing it in the future (however distant it may be). Really, I don’t ever want to deal with a re-take either. All of the time that studying consumes (and the money for the registration fees) is something I’d prefer to sacrifice only once.

For those of you who have absolutely slayed AUD (and I know there are a lot of you), what do you think made the exam so easy for you? Also, what on earth should I do to prepare for the fabled mystery simulations from left field that occur on AUD?

FAR 07/27/11 - 87
AUD 10/01/11 - 85
BEC 11/15/11 - 87
REG 01/03/12 - 92

Just did a ton of MCQ and didnt focus on the SIMS. Becker did the best job for AUD out of all the sections I thought. I already knew all of most of the questions on Wiley after reviewing Becker. That didnt happen with REG and FAR

BEC - 86
AUD - 94
REG - 88
FAR - 89

FAR 07/27/11 - 87
AUD 10/01/11 - 85
BEC 11/15/11 - 87
REG 01/03/12 - 92

I'm planning to retake AUD in October, failed it by 2 points last time. I think SIMS (especially J/E related to FAR) got me. Got my debit and credit mixed up…sad, I kno!

Anyways, I def. felt Becker MCQ prepared me really well, they were very similar to the actual exam.

But having failed the exam, I'm no expert…so I need tips/advice to pass this next time around!!

I'm planning to rewatch the lectures, do all the hw, sims, final exam, AICPA released questions, and Wiley test bank. Anything else I should focus on?

Oh, A4 is the hardest for me…any idea to master it?

Thanks, and good luck!!!
