Welcome to the Q1 2017 CPA Exam Study Group for AUD. 🙂

@didato I think that you have to answer a certain percentage right before moving on. Maybe try doing a custom set and choose new questions. I've not done it either, but it seems like I did read that somewhere.

BEC - 79
REG - 85
AUD - 5/27/16

Terrible luck with the exam I was given. The multiple choice was very hard and two long simulations on derivatives.

@didato you must answer each question in the test bank correctly at least once to get to review stage. If you hover over the orange progress bar on the dashboard it will tell you the % of questions answered correctly. Once you get to 100% you will be in review.

You can go to the MCQ + Sims page and choose a section then create a session based on questions missed last time or questions not seen if there are any you haven't attempted yet. On the progress section you can look and see how many questions you have not answered correctly for that section. Once each section has 0 questions not answered correctly and 0 questions not seen then you will be in review.

BEC-65
AUD-72(8 '14); 68(11 '14)

Thanks @Scott and @HRSexton – I've finished 100% of the questions and answered them each at least once. So – to be in review – I keep reviewing multiple choice questions in a customized mode, huh?

Thanks y'all!

REG: 5/30/15 - 77
FAR: TBD
BEC: 8/31/15 - 70, 73, 1/8/16 - 77
AUD: 6/1/16- 73, 8/2/16

Good luck all…getting ready to take AUD on 1/20. To the person above who asked about retaking again in Q1,this is not allowed and if you don't pass you won't be able to retake until Q2.

[Holly]

@didato I would assume so?? Seems like once you have answered all of them correctly it would give you new questions to be able to move on automatically.

Does anyone know if the sims count toward the performance phases? It seems like there would be a FAQ someplace.

Okay so that was supposed to be a video explaining adaptive technology, but it wasn't. It is the only thing I've come across when I just tried looking for some answers.

i studied 3.5 weeks and got a 62 =( ..
but i got comparable on the sims! lol
feel like i wasted a good testlet since i did decent on the sims..

but plan on retaking mid Jan .. the MCQ was tricky

Becker crowd – I do a chapter per week, but exclude SIMS (do a few of those during review). Just videos and HW. There is just a MASSIVE amount of MCQs per chapter with AUD. I am falling behind and can't get them all done in each week, esp with holidays. Thinking of doing a majority of each topic to get a good grasp and then move on. Finish the rest during review. Anyone do this with AUD?

BEC - 74, 77
FAR - 72, 71 (retake 7/29)
REG - 69
AUD - Q4 '16

@CPA788 I have no idea. I personally went through everything on Becker and I actually learned quite a bit from the sims. I just feel completely lost while looking at this stuff; I do not feel confident at all!

@CPA788

It's more important to learn from your mistakes than doing more mistakes. What I mean by that is if mc homework are 100 questions, and you do 50 of them (with 15 mc questions went wrong) then looking at them again even the correct ones that you got lucky or were not sure while answer them. This is true also for sims.

It's much efficient and you learn more by doing it rather than doing all mc & sims and not reviewing your mistakes. But for sure, if you have time, the more the better.

Now how to pick mc questions that cover most of material? In my example were 50 out of 100. What I do, I do all mc questions that from CPA exams for the years 2005 – 2016, then if I still have a room to put more questions, I go and pick randomly but I make sure they are not close to each other (pick questions 5 then 9 then 18 then etc)

This is from my experience with the other three sections (except BEC) that I was lucky to pass it, and this is what I am going to do with Audit.

I am doing absolutely terrible on my exam review now compared to the last. I am so disappointed with my results after doing so well on my previous review. All I want for Christmas is some motivation!

[Holly]

@Forem004 I hear ya! I'm going through this adaptive learning thing and I'm doing better than expected. I have to say it confuses me that I'm doing this well. I don't feel like I know this stuff at all.
