    Birdman93,

    According to Becker an unacceptable reason for the change would be “The engagement would uncover errors or fraud” or “The client is trying to create misleading or deceptive financial statements” In either case the auditor should consider withdrawing.

    Took AUD today and I feel that each MC testlet was easy/medium. The kicker was the SIMS. On two of them I was confused by what was being asked. The SIMS on my first AUD attempt from April were much easier.

    AUD: 67 - Wiley, Ninja Audio. 61 (Killed MC, SIMS beat me to a pulp)
    BEC: 75 - Wiley, Ninja MCQs, Ninja Audio

    DRS
    How come not many people do not talk about this surprisingly?
    Had anyone seen DRS? or is it not allowed to talk about what showed up in the real exam? lol .

    I am confused about the DRS. Were they introduced this month for testing purposes only, but won't count against your score until April 2017? Or are they full blown incorporated into the exam already and I better learn them?

    @A1lessio From my understanding DRS are in fair game starting July 2016!

    Took AUD today. The MCQ were okay.. the first testlet was somewhat harder than the last two for me at least. Numerous questions on auditing an employee benefit pan which were surprising. The sims were challenging. I had one that was the new DRS format except instead of asking for specific wording in a report, it was just a list of items that the auditor was requesting from the client based on the supporting information. Welp onto FAR!

    Ok I've been reading a lot of DRS here and to be honest i was a bit confused. After researching i think I know what they are and I encountered a couple in the Becker review. Didn't think they were hard at all. Are they documents with highlighted areas that require us to see if the highlighted phrases are correct, incorrect or remove them?

    @Rosy I researched it too and the AICPA website has a tutorial for it as well. I thought it was easy to understand what to do, is like a MCQ embeded in a text.

    I'm taking AUD in less than a week and this will be my second attempt. I went through all of Becker A1-A6, lectures/MCQ HW twice this go around. I took the first final exam today and got a 53/90/76 on the testlets. I reviewed the exam and wrote down my weak areas. I went back to the HW MCQ for those areas and did awful eventhough I did fine on them during my original studying (maybe skewed because I did them right after reading/lecture?)

    I know I have stronger areas and weak areas. Does it make sense to go back and watch the lecture/read the book with the amount of time I have for my weaker spots? I feel as if I've lost so much memory from A1/A2 from my increased focus on A3/A4

    Should I do progress tests A1-A6, seperate sub-topics, just more more more MCQ? I'm freaking!
