    You need to move on to the next chapters, a few topics from those were heavily tested. I wouldn't worry much about numbers problems when it comes to sampling, just know the theory. The rest of the topics may seem minor but you need to know them.

    As far as A4, I guess you can try reading the explanation and look out for certain words they use that try to trick you.

    I'll be taking AUD on OCT 31 and I am not prepared for it so im freaking out right now O_O

    I've doing the MCQ scoring around 60-70% which is not enough 🙁 Do you guys know which sections are heavily tested on the exam?? I want to know so I can pay more detail into those sections so i can write notes. I wish i could write notes for the other sections but i wont have enough time.

    @peterpan.g90 – I took Audit in August and got a 70. When I received my results it said I needed to improve on Audit Evidence and Professional Responsibilities. I am not sure what review course your using but ‘ve only used Becker, and Tim Gearty says Chapters 3 and 4 can make or break passing the Audit section… these chapters cover:

    Chapter 3:

    – Eng Acceptance and Understanding the Assignment

    – Planning & Supervision

    – Audit Risk

    – Fraud Risk

    – Assessing the Risk of Material Misstatement

    – Internal Control

    – Responding to Assessed Risk of Material Misstatement

    Chapter 4:

    – Audit Evidence

    – Audit Procedures by Transaction Cycle

    – Other Audit Procedures

    – Evaluating the Audit Findings

    I would suggest that if you focus on these areas and also having a working knowledge of the all the different audit opinions and how the introduction, scope and opinion paragraphs are changed, and placement of the explanatory paragraph, that you should be in decent shape.

    Best of luck!

    @I Want My Life Back 10.12 thank you for your advice!! I am thinking of buying ninja notes despite the time constraint. are the notes helpful?? btw i am using becker for my studies lol

    #385062

    @skintapeup – it's definitely not the whole book… plenty more topics to study! 🙂 I just felt like these 2 chapters and professional responsibilities caused me to get a 70 🙁

    @peterpan.g90 – I unfortunately do not know anything about Ninja Notes… Best of luck!

    I'm doing some simulations on the Wiley Test Bank and I'm getting close to getting most of the answers correct, but I'm completely struggling with the ones where they ask you to draw conclusions from the Tick marks. How much emphasis should I put on these? Do you guys have any suggestions on how to tackle these?
