    Ok. I just received a score of a 72. I think I would have pulled my hair out if I got a 74 :). Frustrating, but not the end of the world. I’d like to retake this test early next year..end of Feb maybe?

    Is it recommended that I purchase 2012 materials or re-use my 2011 aud materials? I am using 2011 Yaeger CPA homestudy with master Bullmash. Obviously, since I didn’t pass, I need to review all areas, but the accounting cycle sticks out. Everytime I thought I understood it, I find out that I wasn’t getting it. The whole vouching/tracing concept within the accounting cycle.

    Kinda getting off topic though. My questions are (and to repeat). Is it recommended that I purchase a new AUD homestudy and how hard is it to go from a 72 to a passing score?

    since you are so closed, I suggest you stick with Yaeger and study all over again like your first time taking it, you will be surprised how much information you can retain. The second time I really did understand a lot of the concepts that I didn't understand before.

    I got a 74 first time using Becker and I passed this time (yeah) and I used Becker again, but supplemented with Ninja, maybe try that as well??

    Good Luck!! 😀

    Now I am a little confused. While it makes sense to use the latest and greatest study materials what study materials are candidates using for the Jan/Feb window? Yaeger or Rogers I don't beleive have the 2012 materials yet. Is there a secret code? For 2012 testing window 1 should I be ok using my Yaeger 2011 materials?

    I am in the same boat. I got a 70 and i felt like i knew this information very well. I am going to just start over with the same study materials and hope that it goes better next time. I am not sure how that is possible because when i walked out of my first sitting, I felt so great about my performance. Now i am not grandfathered into the PA sitting requirements that are changing Jan 1 2012. I hate how this consumes my life and as much as it seems i am taking steps forward, i just get set back after scores go out.

    AUD – 70

    BEC – 63, 68

    So, I am a bit confused….I have read that some people are using the 2011 material for 2012 AUD. I am taking AUD Jan 17th, 2012 and I am currently using the Lambers material for it. Is there a bunch of changes on the AUD 2012 exam that I need to get an updated version on my material, which I am not 100% certain they have.
