MelParticipantHey guys! I've been waiting for this thread to open! I'm taking audit on 10/19. Took it in May and failed with a 68. I'm still in the beginning stages though. I want to finish all the lectures this week and finish reading the book NLT next week. Then i'm going to dive into reading and rewriting the NINJA notes. Also have to start on my Wiley MCQs since my software expires on 10/10.
Some of this stuff sounds familiar but i feel like i'm learning all over again. Good luck to everybody and i'll try to keep up with you all daily until my exam.

mo_dubanMemberMel – Which software or product did you use durring your first attempt? Also how are the Ninja Notes for AUD now. I am thinking of just using the Ninja notes as my base for re reading and writing notes instead of looking at the whole Becker book. I wanted to get other peoples opinion first..
BEC - 69 (Feb)13 -7/20 85
AUD - Dec-13 ( Failed), Feb-14
FAR- TBD

MelParticipantI used Becker, Wiley Test Bank and NINJA notes/audio the first time through but I know i did not put in enough time trying to understand the material. The NINJA notes are definitely a good overview for review and for reinforcing the major topics. I normally read the NINJA notes every weekday because i commute to work so i use that time to read the notes. I notice that as i go through the MCQs the notes help get things to “click” in my mind.
The NINJA notes are the same as before except Jeff included a separate section fr the clarity update, since we need to know the old and new stuff. I HATE taking notes so i only take notes on the MCQs and not the lectures so i also use the NINJA notes to rewrite. If you are not a notetaker and have some idle time then i definitely recommend getting the notes becuase they were helpful to me during all my other sections and AUDIT too. I just wish i had been more serious the first time around.

MelParticipant@lvr21 I should be done with the lectures by now but last week i pussyfooted around so i'm behind in my plan already!
This time around i plan to finish the lectures and read the book within the first 2 weeks. Next i'll work on rewriting NINJA notes and go through WTB questions, taking notes on any questions i do not understand and do SIMS every Sunday. My last week and half i will do nothing but Becker MCQs (since WTB expires) and notes review. Throughout my whole process i will be reading NINJA notes during my commute and listening to the audio when i'm driving, cleaning and at work. I also have to do my long thick hair just about every week so i plan a viewing the lectures during this time. I hope to get throught the lectures and rewriting the notes twice. I really need to make sure i get the concepts down so anything i can't firgure out i'll be doing extra research on.
I know this seems like overkill but i need my life back!!
