@CPA2B_NJ I took my exam today! Glad to hear your exam experience went well. I also found two SIMS in the A/L so I'm so grateful to others for posting that you can find word for word information in there other than just for the research. I prayed so much before the exam and all throughout and found the exam experience not to be so bad as I thought it would be. Praying that we all have happy news to report back on both 5/5 and 5/27. 🙂

FAR - (11/01/14) 71 (02/07/15) 79
AUD - (04/30/15) 86
BEC - (07/21/15) 73 (10/01/15) 75
REG - (11/30/15) 55 (05/19/16) 74

Did you know…

In an engagement related to a nonissuer, an auditor discovers several significant deficiencies in internal control, one of which is deemed to be a material weakness.

1 scenario – If internal control was evaluated as part of an audit, the auditor must restrict use of the report on internal control.

2 nd scenario – If internal control was evaluated as part of a separate engagement to examine internal control, it is not necessary to restrict use of the report on internal control.

Good luck 🙂

AUD retake on May 30. I just started studying tonight. It seems I needed two weeks of rest after April 15. I'm hoping 4 weeks is enough and I can finally finish this thing. Last time I spent 3 weeks, only two of which were solid.

Plan to go through Becker again from scratch for two weeks and spend 2 weeks on the Ninja MCQs. When I failed I was weaker on MCQ and stronger on SIMS.

Hopefully I can do this. I find AUD to be extremely boring.

Becker's chapter 3 has “understanding the assignment” as one of the headlines. Does that include both “Understanding the Entity” and “Understanding the Engagement?”

Today officially starts my review. I'm so ready for this to be over.

[ahugemistake]

Going to finish all my sections for CPA excel today and begin review. I'm going to be reviewing all the way until May 29, and have just bought the NINJA MCQ review to supplement cpaexcel. My plan is to go crazy on NINJA questions in the coming weeks, and then go back to CPAexcel for a practice test. Not sure if this is a valid strategy, I'd also like some advice on what sections to really focus on. I know that evidence and assertions are big, and same with knowing the verbage in the reports, but if there is a structure that is good to follow for my review I'd definitely appreciate the input.

FAR - 78*
AUD - 66, 79
REG - 73, 76
BEC - 79

I was just wondering how exactly everyone uses the authoritative literature tab when doing the SIMs for non research questions? Do you just search key words and read up on information? Is there enough time for that? This is my first CPA coming up at the end of May and I'm trying to get a full understanding of they work.

[lekrause010]

how did y'all do on Becker practice finals compared to actual results? I scored an 81 and a 78… I just feel like I'm guessing a lot on the MCQs and SIMS. I never feel that confident about my answers when practicing but usually have good results.

BEC - 85
AUD - 94
REG - 91
FAR - 85

@egiorgi It all depends on how you do on the MCQs, normally they suggest you give yourself 1 hr for the sims. For FAR I ended up having a little over an hour to do the SIMS and went straight to the AL lookup question and got it out of the way first. It wasn't as simple as the CPA excel SIMS and it definitely required me to read a little more but I felt I definitely got it with in the 7 minutes they suggest you spend on a SIM.

FAR - 78*
AUD - 66, 79
REG - 73, 76
BEC - 79
