Oh my goodness! I forgot my access to Ninja expired today!!! Jeff, please help!!!! I test tomorrow. I thought I was going to schedule it for sooner! I did probably six practice exams before I failed in December and I saved today for that. 🙁

@Pedro – kick ass on the 23rd.. you got this!!

[mperez102204]

@forem – you have a drive that I can never compare too! you will do awesome. I would reach out the jeff in an email to see if it can be opened for another day. He is an awesome person, I am sure he will let you use it!

[Forem004]

I did and to the help desk. I don't know if they will get it so I see that I can renew for $47. maybe he will refund it since it was only for a day.

[mperez102204]

I believe he would. he is a great guy and just like us. He knows the struggles… Let me know if you need anything.

[Forem004]

The only thing that sucks is I used my personal email so it did not let me access my previous session results. 🙁 I wanted to do some trouble questions in between the exams.

Hey all! Back in here for another retake after the Dec. fail. Hoping for a pass in March. Happy studying!

BEC- PASS

What topics is everyone having the most trouble with? I'm doing my final review and want to make sure there's not something I have missed.

[mperez102204]

In Wiley, I found that i was having the most trouble with Internal control.. go figure. Although, more people have issues with assertions. I think I am okay in this area, but need to touch up on a few things. what are you weakest areas?

Also, this may help…

What specifically about IC?

As ridiculous as it is, considering how well I thought I knew audit issues, assertions is a problem area for me as well! I won't repeat what I know you've seen me say before, but I just need to really focus on the details for those questions.

[mperez102204]

I am still digging into the Wiley book, but it seems to be about the naming convention of ARC. Some positions just seem very old school. The treasurer of a company doesn't really deal with such daily activities do they???

[Forem004]

We're a small accounting firm, so on those, I'm just assuming what I read is accurate. Most of the client we audit don't have a “treasurer” unless he/she is the treasurer for their BOD.

Hey Y'all,

Sorry I'm from Texas. Anyways, I just walked out of my Audit Exam. The exam wasn't too bad. I think after studying with NINJA MCQ's and Becker MCQ's, I felt prepared. I flagged a few a questions, maybe about 8-10 questions, which I was not completely sure about. Narrowed the answer choices, and picked the best possible one. I definitely felt the testlet give harder questions, but obviously everyone's perception maybe different. I think the SIMS were fair not extremely difficult, but not easy either. I read on other topics that SIMS were difficult, this quarter, but I don't think they were as difficult as people made it seem. I definitely got the research questions right. I used the AL to answer another one of my SIMS. I did about 4700 MCQ's between NINJA and Becker in a month. Good luck to all! Remember, be confident! listen to your favorite song on the way to the exam, and give it your all! Good luck!!

[mperez102204]

I think that may be my issue. Well, GOOD LUCK. I meant what I said before, I am here and willing to talk at any time, just shoot me an email…
