So I failed AUD in February. I got through all of the Becker material and felt comfortable with the material. I felt good about the exam when I left (which is the compelte opposite of how I felt after I came out of FAR, and I passed FAR. Weird) Unfortunately, I only scored a 68. I was really REALLY shocked. Anyway, I am going to start restudying for AUD in early June. Any tips on how to tackle this again? My exam is not until July 20 so I have plenty of time to get through all the material thoroughly.

FAR: 79 (Becker basic)
AUD: 68 (Becker basic), 91 (Becker, WTB, NINJA)
BEC: 64 (blind), 81 (Becker, WTB, NINJA)
REG: 68 (Becker basic), 73 (Becker, WTB, NINJA), REMATCH 2/27

MC until you are blue in the face, re-write notes, get NINJA if you dont have it and then do some more MC. Make sure you are able to identify the qualifiers in the AUD MC questions. Being able to identify those will help you correctly answer the questions. Re-write any notes you have, take notes on the MC that you do and just keep pushing. You can do it!

@futureARcpa looks like we had parallel lives on our February audit attempts!!!! I used the Becker text and Wiley online test bank for my February attempt also! For my April retake, I picked up the Wiley textbook and studied the materials like it was the first time seeing it. Everyone learns differently, but I found Becker to have too many mnemonics and tricks for my taste. Wiley is dry, technical, and boring BUT I had success using their study plan and materials. Follow their directions to a T! It's worth it.

Like @SMP73 mentioned, make sure you RTMFQ 2-3 times before looking at ANY answer choices. Make sure you understand what the question is looking for because its so easy to get tripped up. Pick yourself up the Ninja notes and Audio. Listen to the audio every day to and from work and recopy the ninja notes. Shoot for 10 pages per day, every day of note recopying! I found this to helped tremendously to make the info stick. Considering you've already forked up some serious cash for Becker, the Wiley text + Ninja Notes + Ninja Audio are very reasonable! That combo helped me pass for my April retake!

Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
