@JTF Don't worry!!! You still have plenty of time and it's for the best you get a rough score NOW as opposed to a few days before test day. Are the majority of the incorrect responses in one particular topic? If so, you know what to do!!! It's also possible that you've become very familiar with your test banks! Before my last go around with Auditing on 2/25 I had an 88% average in the Wiley test bank but got a 68 on exam day! Becoming overly familiar can pad your stats, so take the 60 and see it as an opportunity to tighten up a problem area!
@NickT It's helpful to see something written about auditing (even though it's taken with a grain of salt b/c of Wiki) in plain language rather than Wiley textbook language! Ha! I finished off the last of the Wiley text last week and am rewriting notes and running MCQS. How are you doing? Where are you at in the book?
Rant ahead…buyer beware!
SO….I work in public accounting and I haven't had a day off since 3/17 and won't again until April 16th which is my test day! I really enjoy corporate taxation (I'm nuts) so I don't mind the work or the crazy hours but I despise coming home to prep for audit at night! Honestly I am still bitter about not passing on 2/25 (my previous attempts were last summer and I was extremely unprepared=61 and only took it a second time because my NTS was about to expire after kicking the audit can down the road for months and thought “why not?”=71) when I put in so many hours and thousands of MCQS literally. It kills me to think that I put in around 160 hours, 2000+ MCQS, notes, etc. and actually did worse than when I took it the second time with an “I don't care, let's roll the dice because I already paid for the NTS” attitude. Ugh. I'm doing my best to use it as motivation to learn the material SO deep this time! I have been focused on quality and depth vs. quantity of MCQS. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result, but going through the Wiley text at a snail pace has been painful. Hopefully it will all pay off on 4/16 and I can put this section to bed. I have BEC scheduled for 5/31 so it would be huge to pass them both this quarter and spend June and July knocking out FAR and being done!!!! Frankly studying ANYTHING else but Auditing sounds amazing at this point!!!!! I can't wait to wake up on 4/17 and be done with Tax Season and Auditing!!!!!!! 🙂
Thanks for tolerating the rant and best of luck to everyone!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
