Welcome to the Q4 2017 CPA Exam Study Group for AUD. 🙂

Introduce yourselves and let your fellow NINJAs know when you plan to take your AUD exam.

[Rachael]

Started AUD a few weeks back and finally returned to another71 after about a 10 month hiatus from all things exam (life happens, blah blah blah). Taking AUD on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and cashing in a remainder of my PTO in the week before hand to get some solid time off since of course no studying will occur on Thanksgiving.

Is anyone else juggling Gleim & Ninja? I'm trying to decide if I want to stick to my Gleim Study Planner and just integrate my Ninja in-between, or if I want to speed up my Gleim schedule and give myself a much longer Final Review window than the 7 days that Gleim automatically accounts for. How is everyone else balancing/juggling their study systems / supplements?

@hopingtogetFAR Is the correct answer A?

@Rachel I am juggling Gleim and Becker, Becker is my primary – in my last week of review after I have completed all Becker I will go back to gleim for fresh SIMS, the MCQ's are similar. I would use GLEIM as a primary and if you only have Ninja test bank use it in between especially for final review

[hopingtogetFAR]

@JB Yes. I did some research and think I found the answer. Is a tag listing the same thing as inventory listing?

Research question on audit. On cpa review they do not make you pick whether or not it is au-c or au-t ect. Is there any tips and the exam to tell which one I am supposed to use because I'm pretty sure on the exam they will not give thatinformation.

@hopingtogetFAR answer should be A cutoff test are usually for completeness. So is tracing but answer b will not look at the recordings.

How to conquer audit?
I passed FAR (first attempt).
Took BEC this Q4 and waiting for the result, and I'm optimistic about it.

But reviewing audit is killing me.
How to prepare on this exam, so many procedure to be connected and the book that I'm reviewing is not giving me the summarize version for easier understanding…

I like computations, but Audit is all about theories…

Any tips how to be prepared…
